Several key bugs were addressed to prevent crashes and ensure expected software behavior.
LightBurn 1.7.04 is a targeted patch designed to enhance software reliability across Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. While major version releases introduce massive feature sets (like the recent parametric shape tools and advanced vector nesting), point releases like 1.7.04 ensure that these features execute flawlessly without application crashes or hardware communication dropouts.
Starting with LightBurn 2.0, the minimum requirements rise to Windows 10 (build 1809) and macOS 11 (Big Sur), and Linux support is discontinued. Therefore, users on older systems should remain on the 1.7.x branch indefinitely.
