CHANGELOG.md

OctoPrint Changelog

1.2.10 (2016-03-16)

Improvements

• Improved performance of console output during plugin installation/deinstallation
• Slight performance improvements in the communication layer
• Log small log excerpt to octoprint.log upon encountering a communication error.
• Changed wording in "firmware error" notifications to better reflect that there was an error while communicating with the printer, since the error condition can also be triggered by serial errors while trying to establish a connection to the printer or when already connected.
• Support downloading ".mp4" timelapse files. You'll need a custom wrapper script for timelapse rendering for this to be relevant to you. See also #1255
• The communication layer will now wait up to 10s after clicking disconnect in order to send any left-over lines from its buffers.
• Moved less commonly used configuration options in Serial settings into "Advanced options" roll-out.

Bug Fixes

• #1224 - Fixed an issue introduced by the fix for #1196 that had the "Upload to SD" button stop working correctly.
• #1226 - Fixed an issue causing an error on disconnect after or cancelling of an SD print, caused by the unsuccessful attempt to record print recovery data for the file on the printer's SD card.
• #1268 - Only add bed temperature line to temperature management specific start gcode in CuraEngine invocation if a bed temperature is actually set in the slicing profile.
• #1271 - If a communication timeout occurs during an active resend request, OctoPrint will now not send an M105 with an increased line number anymore but repeat the last resent command instead.
• #1272 - Don't add an extra ok for M28 response.
• #1273 - Add an extra ok for M29 response, but only if configured such in "Settings" > "Serial" > "Advanced options" > "Generate additional ok for M29"
• #1274 - Trigger M20 only once after finishing uploading to SD
• #1275 - Prevent M105 "cascade" due to communication timeouts
• Fixed wrong tracking of extruder heating up for M109 Tn commands in multi-extruder setups.
• Fixed start of SD file uploads not sending an M110.
• Fixed job data not being reset when disconnecting while printing.

1.2.9 (2016-02-10)

Improvements

• #318 - Snapshots for timelapses are now named in a non-colliding, job-based way, allowing a new timelapse to start while the other is still being rendered (although printing with an active timelapse rendering job is not recommended and will be solved with a proper render job queue in a later version). Timelapses that were not successfully rendered are kept for 7 days (configurable, although not via the UI so far) and can be manually rendered or deleted through a new UI component within the timelapse tab that shows up if unrendered timelapses are detected.
• #485 - "Timelapse rendering" notification is now persistent, even across reloads/client switches. That should make it easier to see that a rendering job is currently in progress.
• #939 - Updated to Knockout 3.4.0
• #1204 - Display total print time as estimated by GCODE viewer on GCODE viewer tab. That will allow access to an estimate even if the server hadn't yet calculated that when a print started. Note that due to slightly different implementation server and client side the resulting estimate might differ.
• OctoPrint now serves an intermediary page upon start that informs the user about the server still starting up. Once the server is detected as running, the page automatically switches to the standard interface.
• OctoPrint now displays a link to the release notes of an updated component in the update notification, the update confirmation and the version overview in the settings dialog. Please always make sure to at least skim over the release notes for new OctoPrint releases, they might contain important information that you need to know before updating.
• Improved initial page loading speeds by introducing a preemptive cache. OctoPrint will now record how you access it and on server start pre-render the page so it's ideally available in the server-side cache when you try to access it.
• Initialize login user name and password with an empty string and clear both on successful login (see #1175).
• Added a "Refresh" button to the file list for people who modify the stored files externally (doing this is not encouraged however due to reasons of book keeping, e.g. metadata tracking etc).
• "Save" button on settings dialog is now disabled while background tasks (getting or receiving config data from the backend) are in progress.
• Improved performance of terminal tab on lower powered clients. Adaptive rate limiting now ensures the server backs off with log updates if the client can't process them fast enough. If the client is really slow, log updates get disabled automatically during printing. This behaviour can be disabled with override buttons in the terminal tab's advanced options if necessary.
• Added option to ignore any unhandled errors reported by the firmware and another option to only cancel ongoing prints on unhandled errors from the firmware (instead of instant disconnect that so far was the default).
• Made version compatibility check PEP440 compliant (important for plugin authors).
• Do not hiccup on manually sent M28 commands.
• Persist print recovery data on print failures (origin and name of printed file, position in file when print was aborted, time and date of print failure). Currently this data isn't used anywhere, but it can be accessed from plugins in order to add recovery functionality to OctoPrint.
• Small performance improvements in update checks.
• The file upload dialog will now only display files having an extension that's supported for upload (if the browser supports it, also see #1196).

Bug Fixes

• #1007 - Don't enable the "Print" button if no print job is selected.
• #1181 - Properly slugify UTF-8 only file names.
• #1196 - Do not show drag-n-drop overlay if server is offline.
• #1208 - Fixed retraction_combing profile setting being incorrectly used by bundled Cura plugin (see #1209)
• Fixed OctoPrint compatibility check in the plugin manager, could report False for development versions against certain versions of Python's setuptools (thanks to @ignaworm who stumbled over this).
• Fixed a missing parameter in PluginSettings.remove call (see #1177).
• Docs: Fixed the example for a custom M114 control to also match negative coordinates.
• Reset scroll position in settings dialog properly when re-opening it or switching tabs.
• Fixed an issue that prevented system menu entries that were added to a so far empty system menu make the menu show up.
• Fixed an issue that made requests to restricted resources fail even though the first run wizard had been completed successfully.
• Fixed an issue where an unknown command or the suppression of a command could cause the communication to stall until a communication timeout was triggered.
• Strip unwanted ANSI characters from output produced by pip versions 8.0.0, 8.0.1 and 8.0.3 that prevents our plugin installation detection from working correctly.

1.2.8 (2015-12-07)

Notes for Upgraders

A bug in 1.2.7 prevents directly updating to 1.2.8, here's what to do

A bug in OctoPrint 1.2.7 (fixed in 1.2.8) prevents updating OctoPrint to version 1.2.8. If you try to perform the update, you will simply be told that "the update was successful", but the update won't actually have taken place. To solve this hen-egg-problem, a plugin has been made available that fixes said bug (through monkey patching).

The plugin is called "Updatefix 1.2.7" and can be found in the plugin repository and on Github.

Before attempting to update your installation from version 1.2.7 to version 1.2.8, please install the plugin via your plugin manager and restart your server. Note that you will only see it in the Plugin Manager if you need it, since it's only compatible with OctoPrint version 1.2.7. After you installed the plugin and restarted your server you can update as usual. The plugin will self-uninstall once it detects that it's running under OctoPrint 1.2.8. After the self-uninstall another restart of your server will be triggered (if you have setup your server's restart command, defaults to sudo service octoprint restart on OctoPi) in order to really get rid of any left-overs, so don't be alarmed when that happens, it is intentional.

If you cannot or don't want to use the plugin, alternatively you can switch OctoPrint to "Commit" based tracking via the settings of the Software Update plugin, update, then switch back to "Release" based tracking (see this screenshot).

Bed temperatures are now only displayed if printer profile has a heated bed configured

This release fixes a bug that caused bed temperature display and controls to be available even if the selected printer profile didn't have a heated bed configured.

If your printer does have a heated bed but you are not seeing its temperature in the "Temperature" tab after updating to 1.2.8, please make sure to check the "Heated Bed" option in your printer profile (under Settings > Printer Profiles) as shown in this short GIF.

Improvements

• Version numbering now follows PEP440.
• Prepared some things for publishing OctoPrint on PyPi in the future.
• BlueprintPlugin mixin now has an errorhandler decorator that serves the same purpose as Flask's (#1059)
• Interpret M25 in a GCODE file that is being streamed from OctoPrint as indication to pause, like M0 and M1.
• Cache rendered page and translation files indefinitely. That should significantly improve performance on reloads of the web interface.
• Added the string "unknown command" to the list of ignored printer errors. This should help with general firmware compatibility in case a firmware lacks features.
• Added the strings "cannot open" and "cannot enter" to the list of ignored printer errors. Those are errors that Marlin may report if there is an issue with the printer's SD card.
• The "CuraEngine" plugin now makes it more obvious that it only targets CuraEngine versions up to and including 15.04 and also links to the plugin's homepage with more information right within the settings dialog.
• Browser tab visibility is now tracked by the web interface, disabling the webcam and the GCODE viewer if the tab containing OctoPrint is not active. That should reduce the amount of resource utilized by the web interface on the client when it is not actively monitored. Might also help to mitigate #1065, the final verdict on that one is still out though.
• The printer log in the terminal tab will now be cut off after 3000 lines even if autoscroll is disabled. If the limit is reached, no more log lines will be added to the client's buffer. That ensures that the log will not scroll and the current log excerpt will stay put while also not causing the browser to run into memory errors due to trying to buffer an endless amount of log lines.
• Increased timeout of "waiting for restart" after an update from 20 to 60sec (20sec turned out to be too little for OctoPi for whatever reason).
• Added a couple of unit tests

Bug Fixes

• #1120 - Made the watchdog that monitors and handles the watched folder more resilient towards errors.
• #1125 - Fixed OctoPrint displaying bed temperature and controls and allowing the sending of GCODE commands targeting the bed (M140, M190) if the printer profile doesn't have a heated bed configured.
• Fixed an issue that stopped the software updater working for OctoPrint. The updater reports success updating, but no update has actually taken place. A fix can be applied for this issue to OctoPrint version 1.2.7 via the Updatefix 1.2.7 plugin. For more information please refer to the Important information for people updating from version 1.2.7 above.
• Fix: Current filename in job data should never be prefixed with /
• Only persist plugin settings that differ from the defaults. This way the config.yaml won't be filled with lots of redundant data. It's the responsibility of the plugin authors to responsibly handle changes in default settings of their plugins and add data migration where necessary.
• Fixed a documentation bug (#1067)
• Fixed a conflict with bootstrap-responsive, e.g. when using the ScreenSquish Plugin (#1103)
• Fixed OctoPrint still sending SD card related commands to the printer even if SD card support is disabled (e.g. M21).
• Hidden files are no longer visible to the template engine, neither as (GCODE) scripts nor as interface templates.
• The hostname and URL prefix via which the OctoPrint web interface is accessed is now part of the cache key. Without that being the case the cache could be created referring to something like /octoprint/prefix/api/ for its API endpoint (if accessed via http://somehost:someport/octoprint/prefix/ first time), which would then cause the interface to not work if accessed later via another route (e.g. http://someotherhost/).
• Fixed a JavaScript error on finishing streaming of a file to SD.
• Fixed version reporting on detached HEADs (when the branch detection reported "HEAD" instead of "(detached"
• Fixed some path checks for systems with symlinked paths (#1051)
• Fixed a bug causing the "Server Offline" overlay to pop under the "Please reload" overlay, which could lead to "Connection refused" browser messages when clicking "Reload now" in the wrong moment.

(Commits)

1.2.7 (2015-10-20)

Improvements

• #1062 - Plugin Manager now has a configuration dialog that among other things allows defining the used pip command if auto detection proves to be insufficient here.
• Allow defining additional pip parameters in Plugin Manager. That might make sudo-less installation of plugins possible in situations where it's tricky otherwise.
• Improved timelapse processing (backported from devel branch):
  • Individually captured frames cannot "overtake" each other anymore through usage of a capture queue.
  • Notifications will now be shown when the capturing of the timelapse's post roll happens, including an approximation of how long that will take.
  • Usage of requests instead of urllib for fetching the snapshot, appears to also have positive effects on webcam compatibility.
• Some more defensive escaping for various settings in the UI (e.g. webcam URL)
• Switch to more error resilient saving of configuration files and other files modified during runtime (save to temporary file & move). Should reduce risk of file corruption.
• Downloading GCODE and STL files should now set more fitting Content-Type headers (text/plain and application/sla) for better client side support for "Open with" like usage scenarios.
• Selecting z-triggered timelapse mode will now inform about that not working when printing from SD card.
• Software Update Plugin: Removed "The web interface will now be reloaded" notification after successful update since that became obsolete with introduction of the "Reload Now" overlay.
• Updated required version of psutil and netifaces dependencies.

Bug Fixes

• #1057 - Better error resilience of the Software Update plugin against broken/incomplete update configurations.
• #1075 - Fixed support of sudo for installing plugins, but added big visible warning about it as it's not recommended.
• #1077 - Do not hiccup on UTF-8 BOMs (or other BOMs for that matter) at the beginning of GCODE files.
• Fixed an issue that caused user sessions to not be properly associated, leading to Sessions getting duplicated, wrongly saved etc.
• Fixed internal server error (HTTP 500) response on REST API calls with unset Content-Type header.
• Fixed an issue leading to drag-and-drop file uploads to trigger frontend processing in various other file upload widgets.
• Fixed a documentation error.
• Fixed caching behaviour on GCODE/STL downloads, was setting the ETag header improperly.
• Fixed GCODE viewer not properly detecting change of currently visualized file on Windows systems.

(Commits)

1.2.6 (2015-09-02)

Improvements

• Added support for version reporting on detached checkouts (see #1041)

Bug Fixes

• Pinned requirement for psutil dependency to version 3.1.1 of that library due to an issue when installing version 3.2.0 of that library released on 2015-09-02 through a python setup.py install on OctoPrint. Also pinned all other requirements to definitive versions that definitely work while at it to keep that from happening again.

(Commits)

1.2.5 (2015-08-31)

Improvements

• #986 - Added tooltip for "additional data" button in file list.
• #1028 - Hint about why timelapse configuration is disabled.
• New central configuration option for commands to restart OctoPrint and to restart and shut down the system OctoPrint is running on. This allows plugins (like the Software Update Plugin or the Plugin Manager) and core functionality to perform these common administrative tasks without the user needing to define everything redundantly.
• Settings dialog now visualizes when settings are saving and when they being retrieved. Also the Send/Cancel buttons are disabled while settings are saving to prevent duplicated requests and concurrent retrieval of the settings by multiple viewmodels is disabled as well.
• Better protection against rendering errors from templates provided by third party plugins.
• Better protection against corrupting the configuration by using a temporary file as intermediate buffer.
• Added warning to UI regarding Z timelapses and spiralized objects.
• Better compatibility with Repetier firmware:
  • Added "Format Error" to whitelisted recoverable communication errors (see also #1032).
  • Added option to ignore repeated resend requests for the same line (see also discussion in #1015).
• Software Update Plugin:
  • Adjusted to utilize new centralized restart commands (see above).
  • Allow configuration of checkout folder and version tracking type via Plugin Configuration.
  • Display message to user if OctoPrint's checkout folder is not configured or a non-release version is running and version tracking against releases is enabled.
  • Clear version cache when a change in the check configuration is detected.
  • Mark check configurations for which an update is not possible.
• Made disk space running low a bit more obvious through visual warning on configurable thresholds.

Bug Fixes

• #985 - Do not hiccup on unset Content-Type part headers for multipart file uploads.
• #1001 - Fixed connection tab not unfolding properly (see also #1002).
• #1012 - All API responses now set no-cache headers, making the Edge browser behave a bit better
• #1019 - Better error handling of problems when trying to write the webassets cache.
• #1021 - Properly handle serial close on Macs.
• #1031 - Special handling of M112 (emergency stop) command:
  • Jump send queue
  • In case the printer's firmware doesn't understand it yet, at least shutdown all of the heaters
  • Disconnect
• Properly reset job progress to 0% when restarting a previously completed printjob (see #998).
• Report an update as failed if the pip command returns a return code that indicates failure.
• Fixed sorting of templates: could only be sorted by name, individual configurations were ignored (see #1022).
• Fixed positioning of custom context menus: were offset due to changes in overall positioning settings (see #1023).
• Software Update: Don't use display version for comparison of git commit hashs.
• Fixed temperature parsing for multi extruder setups.
• Fixed nested vertical and horizontal custom control layouts.

(Commits)

1.2.4 (2015-07-23)

Improvements

• RepeatedTimer now defaults to daemon set to True. This makes sure plugins using it don't have to remember to set that flag themselves in order for the server to properly shut down when timers are still active.
• Fixed a typo in the docs about logging.yaml (top level element is loggers, not logger).
• Support for plugins with external dependencies (dependency_links in setuptools), interesting for plugin authors who need to depend on Python libraries that are (not yet) available on PyPI.
• Better resilience against errors within plugins.

Bug Fixes

• Do not cache web page when running for the first time, to avoid caching the first run dialog popup along side with it. This should solve issues people were having when configuring OctoPrint for the first time, then reloading the page without clearing the cache, being again prompted with the dialog with no chance to clear it.
• Fix/workaround for occasional white panes in settings dialog on Safari 8, which appears to have an issue with fixed positioning.
• Fixed form field truncation in upload requests that could lead to problems when trying to import Cura profiles with names longer than 28 characters.
• Fixed webcam rotation for timelapse rendering.
• Fixed user settings not reaching the editor in the frontend.
• Notifications that are in process of being closed don't open again on mouse over (that was actually more of an unwanted feature).

(Commits)

1.2.3 (2015-07-09)

Improvements

• New option to actively poll the watched folder. This should make it work also if it is mounted on a filesystem that doesn't allow getting notifications about added files through notification by the operating system (e.g. network shares).
• Better resilience against senseless temperature/SD-status-polling intervals (such as 0).
• Log exceptions during writing to the serial port to octoprint.log.

Bug Fixes

• #961 - Fixed a JavaScript error that caused an error to be logged when "enter" was pressed in file or plugin search.
• #962 - url(...)s in packed CSS and LESS files should now be rewritten properly too to refer to correct paths
• Update notifications were not vanishing properly after updating:
  • Only use version cache for update notifications if the OctoPrint version still is the same to make sure the cache gets invalidated after an external update of OctoPrint.
  • Do not persist version information when saving settings of the Software Update plugin
• Always delete files from the watched folder after importing then. Using file preprocessor plugins could lead to the files staying there.
• Fixed an encoding problem causing OctoPrint's Plugin Manager and Software Update plugins to choke on UTF-8 characters in the update output.
• Fixed sorting by file size in file list
• More resilience against missing plugin assets:
  • Asset existence will now be checked before they get included in the assets to bundle by webassets, logging a warning if a file isn't present.
  • Monkey-patched webassets filter chain to not die when a file doesn't exist, but to log an error instead and just return an empty file instead.

(Commits)

1.2.2 (2015-06-30)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an admin-only security issue introduced in 1.2.0, updating is strongly advised.

(Commits)

1.2.1 (2015-06-30)

Improvements

• More flexibility when interpreting compatibility data from plugin repository. If compatibility information is provided only as a version number it's prefixed with >= for the check (so stating a compatibility of only 1.2.0 will now make the plugin compatible to OctoPrint 1.2.0+, not only 1.2.0). Alternatively the compatibility information may now contain stuff like >=1.2,<1.3 in which case the plugin will only be shown as compatible to OctoPrint versions 1.2.0 and up but not 1.3.0 or anything above that. See also the requirement specification format of the pkg_resources package.
• Only print the commands of configured event handlers to the log when a new debug flag is present in the config (see the docs). Reduces risk of disclosing sensitive data when sharing log files.

Bug Fixes

• #956 - Fixed server crash when trying to configure a default slicing profile for a still unconfigured slicer.
• #957 - Increased maximum allowed body size for plugin archive uploads.
• Bugs without tickets:
  • Clean exit on SIGTERM, calling the shutdown functions provided by plugins.
  • Don't disconnect on volume.init errors from the firmware.
  • touch uploaded files on local file storage to ensure proper "uploaded date" even for files that are just moved from other locations of the file system (e.g. when being added from the watched folder).

(Commits)

1.2.0 (2015-06-25)

Note for Upgraders

• The Cura integration has changed in such a way that OctoPrint now calls the CuraEngine directly instead of depending on the full Cura installation. See the wiki for instructions on how to change your setup to accommodate the new integration.

New Features

• OctoPrint now has a plugin system which allows extending its core functionality.
  • Plugins may be installed through the new and bundled Plugin Manager Plugin available in OctoPrint's settings. This Plugin Manager also allows browsing and easy installation of plugins registered on the official OctoPrint Plugin Repository.
  • For interested developers there is a tutorial available in the documentation and also a cookiecutter template to quickly bootstrap new plugins.
• Added internationalization of UI. Translations of OctoPrint are being crowd sourced via Transifex. Language Packs for both the core application as well as installed plugins can be uploaded through a new management dialog in Settings > Appearance > Language Packs. A translation into German is included, further language packs will soon be made available.
• Printer Profiles: Printer properties like print volume, extruder offsets etc are now managed via Printer Profiles. A connection to a printer will always have a printer profile associated.
• File management now supports STL files as first class citizens (including UI adjustments to allow management of uploaded STL files including removal and reslicing) and also allows folders (not yet supported by UI). STL files can be downloaded like GCODE files.
• Slicing has been greatly improved:
  • It now allows for a definition of slicing profiles to use for slicing plus overrides which can be defined per slicing job (defining overrides is not yet part of the UI but it's on the roadmap).
  • A new slicing dialog has been added which allows (re-)slicing uploaded STL files (which are now displayed in the file list as well). The slicing profile and printer profile to use can be specified here as well as the file name to which to slice to and the action to take after slicing has been completed (none, selecting the sliced GCODE for printing or starting to print it directly)
  • The slicing API allows positioning the model to slice on the print bed (Note: this is not yet available in the UI).
  • Slicers themselves are integrated into the system via SlicingPlugins.
  • Bundled Cura Plugin allows slicing through CuraEngine up to and including 15.04. Existing Cura slicing profiles can be imported through the web interface.
• New file list: Pagination is gone, no more (mobile incompatible) pop overs, instead scrollable and with instant search
• You can now define a folder (default: ~/.octoprint/watched) to be watched for newly added GCODE (or -- if slicing support is enabled -- STL) files to automatically add.
• New type of API key: App Session Keys for trusted applications
• OctoPrint now supports action:... commands received via debug messages (// action:...) from the printer. Currently supported are
  • action:pause: Pauses the current job in OctoPrint
  • action:resume: Resumes the current job in OctoPrint
  • action:disconnect: Disconnects OctoPrint from the printer Plugins can add supported commands by hooking into the octoprint.comm.protocol.action hook
• Mousing over the webcam image in the control tab enables key control mode, allowing you to quickly move the axis of your printer with your computer's keyboard (#610):
  • arrow keys: X and Y axes
  • W, S / PageUp, PageDown: Z axes
  • Home: Home X and Y axes
  • End: Home Z axes
  • 1, 2, 3, 4: change step size used (0.1, 1, 10, 100mm)
• Controls for adjusting feed and flow rate factor added to Controls (#362)
• Custom controls now also support slider controls
• Custom controls now support a row layout
• Users can now define custom GCODE scripts to run upon starting/pausing/resuming/success/failure of a print or for custom controls (#457, #347)
• Bundled Discovery Plugin allows discovery of OctoPrint instances via SSDP/UPNP and optionally also via ZeroConf/Bonjour/Avahi.
• Bundled Software Update Plugin takes care of notifying about new OctoPrint releases and also allows updating if configured as such. Plugins may register themselves with the update notification and application process through a new hook "octoprint.plugin.softwareupdate.check_config".

Improvements

• Logging is now configurable via config file
• Added last print time to additional GCODE file information
• Better error handling for capture issues during timelapse creation & more robust handling of missing images during timelapse creation
• Start counting the layers at 1 instead of 0 in the GCODE viewer
• Upgraded Font Awesome to version 3.2.1
• Better error reporting for timelapse rendering and system commands
• Custom control can now be defined so that they show a Confirm dialog with configurable text before executing (#532 and #590)
• Serial communication: Also interpret lines starting with "!!" as errors
• Added deletion of pyc files to the python setup.py clean command
• Settings now show a QRCode for the API Key (#637)
• Username in UI is no longer enclosed in scare quotes (#595)
• Username in login dialog is not automatically capitalized on mobile devices anymore (#639)
• "Slicing Done" and "Streaming Done" notifications now have a green background (#558)
• Files that are currently in use, be it for slicing, printing or whatever, are now tracked and can not be deleted as long as they are in use
• Settings in UI get refreshed when opening settings dialog
• New event "SettingsUpdated"
• "Print time left" is now not displayed until it becomes somewhat stable. Display in web interface now also happens in a fuzzy way instead of the format hh:mm:ss, to not suggest a high accuracy anymore where the can't be one. Additionally OctoPrint will use data from prior prints to enhance the initial print time estimation.
• Added handler for uncaught exceptions to make sure those get logged, should make the logs even more useful for analysing bug reports
• The server now tracks the modification date of the configuration file and reloads it prior to saving the config if it has been changed during runtime by external editing, hence no config settings added manually while the server was running should be overwritten anymore.
• Display a "Please Reload" overlay when a new server version or a change in installed plugins is detected after a reconnect to the server.
• Better handling of errors on the websocket - no more logging of the full stack trace to the log, only a warning message for now.
• Daemonized OctoPrint now cleans up its pidfile when receiving a TERM signal (#711)
• Added serial types for OpenBSD (#551)
• Improved behaviour of terminal:
  • Disabling autoscrolling now also stops cutting off the log while it's enabled, effectively preventing log lines from being modified at all (#735)
  • Applying filters displays [...] where lines where removed and doesn't cause scrolling on filtered lines anymore (#286)
  • Added a link to scroll to the end of the terminal log (useful for when autoscroll is disabled)
  • Added a link to select all current contents of the terminal log for easy copy-pasting
  • Added a display of how many lines are displayed, how many are filtered and how many are available in total
• Frame rate for timelapses can now be configured per timelapse (#782)
• Added an option to specify the amount of encoding threads for FFMPEG (#785)
• "Disconnected" screen now is not shown directly after a close of the socket, instead the client first tries to directly reconnect once, and only if that doesn't work displays the dialog. Should reduce short popups of the dialog due to shaky network connections and/or weird browser behaviour when downloading things from the UI.
• Development dependencies can now be installed with pip -e .[develop]
• White and transparent colors ;) are supported for the navigation bar (#789)
• Drag-n-drop overlay for file uploads now uses the full available screen space, improving usability on high resolution displays (#187)
• OctoPrint server should no longer hang when big changes in the system time happen, e.g. after first contact to an NTP server on a Raspberry Pi image. Achieved through monkey patching Tornado with this PR.
• Serial ports matching /dev/ttyAMA* are not anymore listed by default (this was the reason for a lot of people running into problems while attempting to connect to their printer on their Raspberry Pis, on which /dev/ttyAMA0 is the OS's serial console by default). Added configuration of additional ports to the Serial Connection section in the Settings to make it easier for those people who do indeed have their printer connected to /dev/ttyAMA0.
• Better behaviour of the settings dialog on low-width devices, navigation and content also now scroll independently from each other (see also #823)
• Renamed "Temperature Timeout" and "SD Status Timeout" in Settings to "Temperature Interval" and "SD Status Interval" to better reflect what those values are actually used for.
• Added support for rectangular printer beds with the origin in the center (#682 and #852). Printer profiles now contain a new settings volume.origin which can either be lowerleft or center. For circular beds only center is supported.
• Made baudrate detection a bit more solid, still can't perform wonders.
• Only show configuration options for additional extruders if more than one is available, and don't include offset configuration for first nozzle which acts as reference for the other offsets (#677).
• Cut off of the temperature graph is now not based on the number of data points any more but on the actual time of the data points. Anything older than n minutes will be cut off, with n defaulting to 30min. This value can be changed under "Temperatures" in the Settings (#343).
• High-DPI support for the GCode viewer (#837).
• Stop websocket connections from multiplying (#888).
• New setting to rotate webcam by 90° counter clockwise (#895 and #906)
• System commands now be set to a) run asynchronized by setting their async property to true and b) to ignore their result by setting their ignore property to true.
• Various improvements of newly introduced features over the course of development:
  • File management: The new implementation will migrate metadata from the old one upon first startup after upgrade from version 1.1.x to 1.2.x. That should speed up initial startup.
  • File management: GCODE Analysis backlog processing has been throttled to not take up too many resources on system startup. Freshly uploaded files should still be analyzed at full speed.
  • Plugins: SettingsPlugins may track versions of configuration format stored in config.yaml, including a custom migration method getting called when a mismatch between the currently stored configuration format version and the one reported by the plugin as current is detected.
  • Plugins: Plugins may now have a folder for plugin related data whose path can be retrieved from the plugin itself via its new method get_plugin_data_folder.
  • Plugin Manager: Don't allow plugin management actions (like installing/uninstalling or enabling/disabling) while the printer is printing (see also unreproduced issue #936).
  • Plugin Manager: More options to try to match up installed plugin packages with discovered plugins.
  • Plugin Manager: Display a more friendly message if after the installation of a plugin it could not be correctly identifier.
  • Software Update: Enforce refreshing of available updates after any changes in enabled plugins.

Bug Fixes

• #435 - Always interpret negative duration (e.g. for print time left) as 0
• #516 - Also require API key even if ACL is disabled.

• #717 - Use shutil.move instead of os.rename to avoid cross device renaming issues
• #752 - Fix error in event handlers sending multiple gcode commands.
• #780 - Always (re)set file position in SD files to 0 so that reprints work correctly
• #784 - Also include requirements.txt in files packed up for python setup.py sdist
• #330 - Ping pong sending to fix potential acknowledgement errors. Also affects #166, #470 and #490. A big thank you to all people involved in these tickets in getting to the ground of this.
• #825 - Fixed "please visualize" button of large GCODE files
• Various fixes of bugs in newly introduced features and improvements:
  • #625 - Newly added GCODE files were not being added to the analysis queue
  • #664 - Fixed jog controls again
  • #677 - Fixed extruder offsets not being properly editable in printer profiles
  • #678 - SockJS endpoints is now referenced by relative URL using url_for, should solve any issues with IE11.
  • #683 - Fixed heated bed option not being properly displayed in printer profiles
  • #685 - Quoted file name for Timelapse creation to not make command hiccup on ~ in file name
  • #709 - Fixed file sending to SD card
  • #714 - Fixed type validation of printer profiles
  • Heating up the heated bed (if present) was not properly configured in CuraEngine plugin
  • #720 - Fixed translation files not being properly copied over during install
  • #724 - Fixed timelapse deletion for timelapses with non-ascii characters in their name
  • #726 - Fixed babel_refresh command
  • #759 - Properly initialize counter for template plugins of type "generic"
  • #775 - Error messages in javascript console show the proper name of the objects

  • #892 - Preselected baudrate is now properly used for auto detected serial ports
  • #909 - Fixed Z-Timelapse for Z changes on G1 moves.
  • Fixed another instance of a missing branch field in version dicts generated by versioneer (compare #634). Caused an issue when installing from source archive downloaded from Github.
  • #931 - Adjusted octoprint_setuptools to be compatible to older versions of setuptools potentially site-wide installed on hosts.
  • #942 - Settings can now be saved again after installing a new plugin. Plugins must not use super anymore to call parent implementation of SettingsPlugin.on_settings_save but should instead switch to SettingsPlugin.on_settings_save(self, ...). Settings API will capture related TypeErrors and log a big warning to the log file indicating which plugin caused the problem and needs to be updated. Also updated all bundled plugins accordingly.
  • Software Update: Don't persist more check data than necessary in the configuration. Solves an issue where persisted information overrode updated check configuration reported by plugins, leading to a "an update is available" loop. An auto-migration function was added that should remove the redundant data.
• Various fixes without tickets:
  • GCODE viewer now doesn't stumble over completely extrusionless GCODE files
  • Do not deliver the API key on settings API unless user has admin rights
  • Don't hiccup on slic3r filament_diameter comments in GCODE generated for multi extruder setups
  • Color code successful or failed print results directly in file list, not just after a reload
  • Changing Timelapse post roll activates save button
  • Timelapse post roll is loaded properly from config
  • Handling of files on the printer's SD card contained in folders now works correctly
  • Don't display a "Disconnected" screen when trying to download a timelapse in Firefox
  • Fixed handling of SD card files in folders
  • Fixed refreshing of timelapse file list upon finished rendering of a new one
  • Fixed /api/printer which wasn't adapter yet to new internal offset data model
  • Made initial connection to printer a bit more responsive: Having to wait for the first serial timeout before sending the first M105 even when not waiting for seeing a "start" caused unnecessary wait times for reaching the "Operational" state.
  • Log cancelled prints only once (thanks to @imrahil for the headsup)

  • #693 - Try not to capture an image if image counter is still unset
  • [unreported] Synchronize image counter decrementing as well as incrementing to prevent rare race conditions when generating the image file names
