I'm liking 2.0 so far. I've come across a few little things in my limited time working with it.
I did have a C++ error dialog pop up that totally crashed Rhino without any warning, this might be soemthing wrong on my end because I get the same error in Firefox when I load a page with embedded media.
1.0 files that were setup using the Top setting for the cut depth are opening up without the Top setting enabled. It's keeping the depth and showing the toolpath correctly though. See image attached.
There doesn't seem to be a way to add regions to the selected regions by the shift click method used before. This could possibly be done with a "Select Curves to Add" button?
I noticed in the documentation that there is now a sorting option for profiling, could this possibly get added to engraving also?
The shop documentation is an unexpected addition that is going to be very nice, I'm not getting an image though.
The overall flow of things has been greatly improved, the ability to have sets of MOPS and copy/paste them in groups is excellent and will improve efficiency.
Thank you for your hard work. Any idea when it will be ready to purchase?

I pulled down the newest one and it was working fine until I was trying to find an operation to replace engraving using the "To" condition on a curve. I was in the process of trying Vcarve but I got a spike in RAM and crashed.
What is the new way to do an engraving operation using a "To" condition? I was using it to clean top edge of pocketed logos by entering a bit size the amount of the offset I wanted the engraving to be and it worked better than profiling because I could select a group of curves and it would always route on the pocketed side of the curves. If I use profiling I can achieve something similar but I will have to separate the islands into a different operation and this is not very efficient. Chamfer maybe the answer so I'll try that.
I'm going back to 1.0 now so I can get some work done. Below is a list of more things I noticed.
Maching/Features Regions Dialog:
- when selecting the Machinging Regions in the list, should it highlight the region in the viewport?
- no way to add regions to the list
- be nice if we could rearrange regions in the list, by moving them up or down in the list
- make the order of operation follow the order of the list
Operation Tree:
- if a curves seam is adjusted it doesn't not flag the operation as needing to be rerun
- same for curve direction
- no way to turn off the stock display for curves used
- vcarve roughing crash - C++ crash - it showed the toolpaths but never added the operation to the tree

my impressions are quite simple (yet); I'm missing almost all of the buttons, or the pics of the buttons.
If this is known and reported elsewhere then forgive me
