Download link: Withdrawn, see below.
New Features, significant changes
* It is now possible to save and reload control board parameters
Bug Fixes
* Garbage collection is now forced to run, greatly adding stability on some systems
* More robust nozzle change
* When setting up nozzle changes, clicking header in goto start position (no nozzle selected) doesn't crash anymore
* Rotation coordinate now shows on status display at startup
* Rotation coordinate now stored in bookmarks
* Better diagnostics on serial port errors
* Homing is now offered when recovering from serial port errors
* Internal code improvements, more logging information in certain situations
* Fixed a typo that prevented CAD files with Mid X/Mid Y coordinates to load correctly
Notes:
Proceed with caution; I do believe this version to be stable, but it has not gone trough normal testing. It is released because of the importance of the garbage collection feature/bug fix.
If you are updating from a version earlier than May 2017, you must run a settings transfer program before updating to this release. (You do get a warning message on startup about this). First download and install the settings transfer program: http://www.liteplacer.com/Downloads/Lit ... 7_2017.exe. It will install just like the regular LitePlacer, and will be named as liteplacer.exe (it needs to look like a normal LitePlacer program to the system to gain access to old format program settings). Run it once. The program reads the old format settings, writes a new settings file and exits. Then, install the actual release.

In other words, this "release" actually did nothing. I made a real release today:
