The first public [Release Candidate](https://docs.millmagesoftware.com/0.8/) of our new software for CNC users — MillMage — is available for download now! This is a major step in the development of MillMage and we are equal parts thrilled, proud, and relieved to have it out the door. We’re also more than a little eager to hear your feedback. As a reminder, Release Candidates are versions of our software that we consider very stable, and nearly ready for final release, but still require a short period of public testing before we make them official. To help you get started with MillMage, we’ve also been hard at work documenting its features. You can view our documentation [here](https://docs.millmagesoftware.com/0.8/), but please note that it, too, is in a “nearly ready” state, and don’t hesitate to offer feedback (or point out our typos). - Check out our [Fact Sheet](https://docs.millmagesoftware.com/latest/MillMageFactSheet/) for information on MillMage’s capabilities and machine compatibility. - See [MillMage for LightBurn Users](https://docs.millmagesoftware.com/0.8/Explainers/MillMageForLightBurnUsers/) for information on some crucial differences between MillMage and LightBurn. - Visit the **[Get Started](https://docs.millmagesoftware.com/0.8/GetStarted/)** section for our beginner guide, from installation to first time set up. We’ll soon be expanding this section to include a step-by-step guide on completing your first project with MillMage, a simple catch all tray. Before you head off to explore MillMage, there are a couple more things you need to know: _To start using MillMage, you’ll need to [activate a 30 day trial](https://docs.millmagesoftware.com/0.8/Reference/LicenseManagement/). If the Release Candidate period lasts longer than 30 days, don’t worry, you’ll be able to extend the trial in the same window you first activated it._ In order to safely and effectively operate your machine with MillMage, you will require a firm understanding of CNC fundamentals and best practices. If you’re a CNC beginner, please consult your machine’s manufacturer for resources on getting started with your specific hardware. Once you’re up and running, let us know what you think — we can’t wait to hear your feedback! Please report any unexpected behavior in the [MillMage Software Questions](https://forum.lightburnsoftware.com/c/millmage-software-questions/) section of our forum, including screenshots and as much detail as possible. For hardware compatibility questions, ask in the [MillMage Hardware Compatibility](https://forum.lightburnsoftware.com/c/millmage-hardware-compatibility/) section. FAQ: MillMage will be USD$199, marked down to $149 at launch. ---

I’m getting a 404 on the link to the fact sheet mentioned in the _blog post_. This is the url it is trying to reference: [https://docs.millmagesoftware.com/0.8/GetStarted/MillMageFactSheet/](https://docs.millmagesoftware.com/0.8/GetStarted/MillMageFactSheet/) The posting above uses this URL instead: > **[MillMage Fact Sheet - MillMage Documentation](https://docs.millmagesoftware.com/latest/MillMageFactSheet/)** > > Better software for CNC routers The other links are good. ---
