    Literally turned on my Surface, it updated, and coords not changing. OpenBuilds machine from 2016 that I haven't touched settings, or even the troubleshooting tab at all since getting a Black Box and using CONTROL several years ago.

    At the suggestion of the only article that turned up in Search for 1.0.377, I did the following. Turned off Black Box, disconnected USB, powered off entire table, relaunched CONTROL. No change. I did notice that I couldn't find how to look at settings that I remembered from years past, and while doing that noticed Dark Mode was a thing. Clicked that and now the Grbl Settings tab is there. This was also someone's issue in that short thread.

    Before touching any of the things under the Diagnostics, currently ALL items, except Show GPU Information, say Disable in front of them. Do those change to Enable when you click one to go revert? Guessing I'm finding out as I think it is DRO that I'm looking for. Clicked that, CONTROL looks to have reloaded and now the coords all say Disabled instead of 0.000. The selection in Diagnostics put a check next to it, so answered that question.

    Went back into Diagnostics, clicked DRO line again, CONTROL reloaded, displays went back to 0.000 and they do not update when jogging.

    My $$ list from the console

    I did a cut yesterday, which ran fine, it is just really unnerving to not be able to see the coords and such while the machine is moving. Just realized the 3D view is not moving either which I didn't notice yesterday, but will now.

    Nothing. 1.0.376 is "current" - newer development versions in pipeline for eventual release once nicely tested etc. Its not "out" yet, its in internal testing, etc.

    Changelog for upcoming versions is public info because lots of parties are interested, waiting for, or curious about whats going to be in the next release, or things like "has their reported bug been looked at" etc, that sort of thing, ahead of the release. We don't release for every little change (but every little change does have a version number bump internally), too many people complained about the regular updates.

    If there is an update actually available, you'll get a notification and it will start update as always
