• Added a new global variable #7696 - GVAR_CUTCHART_FEEDRATE_PRIORITY
• if set to 0, then the F-code value for speed is used, if present
• if set to 1, then speed from Cutcharts has a higher priority and the F-code is ignored

•  Blog post

• Added hardware pendant support for the ET15 controller
• Improvements to the G-code parser when setting arcs via radius for certain post processors (fixed the issue where in cases the G-code contained 2 decimal places the rounding for radius value was not done correctly)
