Why is this displaying to 15 decimal places! Seems excessive.
Hi Dennis - see if you have testNumberFormat set for some reason - should be set to Pretty, and not Accurate.
-Pascal
It’s set to pretty.
Yeah, I see it too, actually - Gumball was recently updated to remember interactive angle and distance numbers - looks like that needs to payu attention to the file settings better. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks Pascal. I can’t help but notice the unusual number of updates lately. What’s the deal?
Hi -
We’ve had weekly release candidate updates and monthly service releases since Rhino 6 was released. Nothing new there.

Maybe my settings have changed. What’s the difference between a service release and a service release candidate?
Thanks,
Dennis
Hi Dennis -
New features and bug fixes are first available in the candidates.
The candidates haven’t been tested by as many users as the final service releases.
-wim
Updating to the latest service release candidate provides earlier access to bug fixes, etc than updating to service releases - but - with added risk of a new bug due to less testing. Service releases are always at least a week behind service release candidates and can be up to five or six weeks behind.
