What's new in GBurn

The browser version updates by itself; the desktop apps tell you when a newer version is out. Newest first.

October 20, 2026

First release, 0.1.0. Design: rectangles, ellipses, lines and text; move, resize, mirror, rotate, duplicate, nudge, typed X / Y / W / H in mm or inches. Import SVG, DXF and LightBurn .lbrn2 files; export SVG and G-code; save .gburn files or keep designs in your account.
Cut layers: Line (cut or score) and Fill (engrave at a line interval and scan angle), speed, power, passes, air assist, and an eye to leave a layer out. The sample coaster opens with all three.
Preview: every stroke in order, travel dashed, a slider to scrub, and the time estimate from your machine's travel speed and acceleration.
Laser panel (desktop): GRBL lasers over USB; Home, Unlock, jog, Frame with the beam off, Start, Pause / Resume, Stop, a console. A simulated laser runs any job without a machine, in the browser too.
Safety: nothing fires until Start; Frame is rapids only; Stop resets the controller; the door and alarm states show as the controller reports them.
