What's new Fixed Sharp tips no longer dropped from the toolpath — a long, skinny hole with a sharp tip (for example a narrow triangle whose base is an arc) could lose its tip during kerf compensation. The cleanup that strips stray "tooth" vertices off curves mistook the real tip for one, and the hole's toolpath collapsed to a thin sliver along its base: the sides were never cut, even though the DXF was closed and connected. Stray teeth are still removed; a genuine sharp tip is now kept. Reported on a Willys logo cutout.

What's new Added Cut direction — a new Cut Direction setting (Settings → Path Rules) picks which way round the torch travels each closed contour. A plasma kerf has a square side and a slightly bevelled side, so the convention is outer profiles clockwise and holes counter-clockwise — that keeps the square side against the part on both, and the two always flip together. As drawn (the default) keeps whatever winding the DXF / SVG carried and emits exactly what earlier builds did; Standard forces outers CW and holes CCW; Reversed forces the opposite, for a torch whose swirl or consumable set runs the other way. Open contours (scribe lines, bridges) have no direction and are never changed. The flip is applied after kerf compensation, so the toolpath itself does not move — only the direction of travel, the side the lead attaches to, and the G2/G3 sense of the arcs. The canvas preview follows the setting, so what it draws still matches the exported file. Works on both the CandCNC and LinuxCNC PlasmaC posts. Rapid Z — a new Rapid Z field (Settings → Machine / Rapid) gives the height the torch retracts to after each cut — and therefore the height it traverses at between cuts whenever Stay-down is in use — its own value instead of reusing the pierce height. Leave it blank to keep the previous behaviour; raise it to clear tipped scrap on the way to the next pierce without lifting all the way to Safe Z. A negative entry is clamped to zero. Ignored on the LinuxCNC PlasmaC post, which manages Z itself. Irregular (L-shaped) remnants — a shelved offcut is carried as its real outline instead of a bounding box, so parts nest into the arms of an L and never into the corner that was already cut away. The stock picker flags irregular offcuts, the canvas draws the true shape with the missing corner hatched, and the nester seeds the cut-out as a no-go region. Changed Spill sheets render at full size during a nest — live-preview snapshots are stamped with the running pass's sheet size, so a nest that outgrows a remnant and spills onto full stock shows that sheet at its real size while the nest is still running, instead of falling back to the remnant's size. Fixed Bounding-box placements were invisible on the canvas — --muted was referenced by eight CSS rules but never defined. On the dashed proxy drawn for a part that has only open lines and no closed outer contour, the stroke resolved to none, so those placements rendered as nothing at all: an empty sheet with a part count above it. It is now aliased to --text-dim so the two cannot drift apart. Guillotine free regions were tested against the bounding box — the free-region check now confirms that a part outline really overlaps a rectangle rather than just its bbox, so an angled part no longer makes the free region just above it look blocked.
