⚠️ Important note on release candidates
This is a Release Candidate of OctoPrint. It is not a stable release: severe bugs can occur, and they can be bad enough that they make a manual downgrade to an earlier version necessary - maybe even from the command line.
You should be comfortable with and capable of possibly having to do this before installing an RC.
🔁 Feedback on this RC
Please provide general feedback on this RC in this ticket. An "All is working fine" is valuable feedback as well because it tells me people are actually testing this RC and just not finding problems with it.
If you run into any obvious bugs, please follow "How to file a bug report" - I need logs and reproduction steps to fix issues, not just the information that something doesn't work.
Thanks!
Things to take a closer look at
For this RC, these things should get a closer look while testing, if possible (things newly added in this follow-up RC marked with 🆕):
- Proper behaviour when using the included web interface as well as any third party clients at your disposal.
- User and group management functioning as expected.
- Plugin installation functioning as expected.
- Application key management functioning as expected. Authentication workflow with third party clients at your disposal (e.g. slicers) works as it should.
- Backup creation, download and restore functioning as expected
✨ Features & improvements
Core
- Improve JS error reporting in Firefox.
- Fix a potential race condition that might have caused some build errors recently.
Achievements Plugin
- Added unlocked achievements to the Anonymous Usage Tracking. Of course, this can be disabled, and if you have not opted into tracking in the first place, nothing will be tracked, as always. Achievement stats are available on data.octoprint.org.
🐛 Bug fixes
Core
- #4980: Fix missing temperature history for anything but the first extruder. This was actually not a regression, but the bug only could be seen now after extending the timeline of the temperature graph to the full available history.
- #4983 (regression): Fix prefix caching for custom defaults. Manifested in no longer being able to select release channels in the Software Update plugin.
- #4987 (regression): Fix creation of the static version file during installation of sdist under Windows.
Achievements Plugin
- #4984: Make the "Mass Production" achievement detect modifications of the file.
- Fix the "Heavy Chonker" achievement.
- Fix the default groups for the achievement permission.
GCODE Viewer
- #4978: Fix reloading of the same file. First thought to be a regression, turned out to not be one but was a low hanging fruit.
