OpenNest was released with new nesting engines written in C++ :partying_face: . YAK packages are now automated using GitHub Actions for Windows and Mac. Documentation: OpenNest 2D polygonal nesting for Rhino / Grasshopper [image] There are three key com…

There is always a fixed previous version, that what is the version control used for. So your code and your client code would always work. Since I don’t have any clients using OpenNest, I’m not familiar with the actual use cases. I am not getting paid for this, except having fun in development. I’l…

Thank you so much Petras this is great! I just wanted to suggest a feature, if it’s not too complicated.
