• alfrix fixed an issue where felet­ing a Pat­tern fea­ture after delet­ing the source fea­ture would cause the next step to break (PR#26467).

CAM:

• tarman3 fixed the Ram­p­En­try dres­sup gen­er­at­ing Path.Log errors (PR#25398) and adding an unneed­ed line that caus­es a CNC to go back to the ori­gin (PR#22484), refac­tored a part of the Array com­mand (PR#26324), fixed a zero deflec­tion issue in Path.Post.Utils.splitArcs() (PR#26322), improved Slot (PR#25841), and removed a use­less prop­er­ty from Engrave (PR#25374).
