Note for upgraders and plugin authors: Change in the bundling of JS assets can lead to issues in plugins

A change to solve issues with plugins bundling JS assets that cause interference with other plugins (e.g. through the declaration of "use strict") and in general to add better isolation and error handling might cause errors for some plugins that go beyond your run-off-the-mill view model and also implicitly declare new globals.

If you happen to run into any such issues, you can switch back to the old way of bundling JS assets via the newly introduced "Settings > Feature > Enable legacy plugin asset bundling" toggle (check it, save the settings, restart the server). This is provided to allow for a minimally invasive adjustment period until affected plugins have been updated.

You can find out more about the change, how to know if a plugin is even affected and what do about it on the OctoBlog.

Improvements

• #203 - Allow selecting the current tab via URL hashs. Also update URL hash when switching tabs, thus adding this to the browser history and allowing quicker back and forth navigation through the browser's back and forward buttons.
• #1026 - Automatically upper case parameters in GCODE commands sent from the Terminal tab. A black list is in place that prevent upper casing of parameters for GCODE commands where it doesn't make sense (default: M117). See also #2177.
• #2050 - New hook octoprint.comm.protocol.temperatures.received that allows plugins to further preprocess/sanitize temperature data received from the printer.
• #2055 - Increased the size of the API key field in the settings.
• #2056 - Added a Copy button to the API key field in the settings and user settings.
• #2094 - Allow UTF-8 display names for uploaded files. The files will still get an ASCII only name on disk, but the UTF-8 name used during upload will also be persisted and shown in the file list. This also allows using emojis in your file and folder names now.
• #2104 - Allow more URL schemes for installing plugins from. Supported schemes should now mirror what pip itself supports: http, https, git, git+http, git+https, git+ssh, git+git, hg+http, hg+https, hg+static-http, hg+ssh, svn, svn+svn, svn+http, svn+https, svn+ssh, bzr+http, bzr+https, bzr+ssh, bzr+sftp, bzr+ftp, bzr+lp.
• #2109 - New decorator @firstrun_only_access for API endpoints that should only be available before first setup has been completed.
• #2111 - Made the file list's scroll bar wider.
• #2131 - Added warning to restart, shutdown, reboot and update confirmations that that may disrupt ongoing prints, even those run from the printer's internal storage/SD. See also #2146 and #2152.
• #2138 - Slightly longer timeout when attempting to read from serial during auto detection via programming mode. Might help with detection of some slower printer controllers under certain circumstances.
• #2200 - Wrap all JS assets of plugins into one anonymous function per plugin. That way plugins using "use strict"; won't cause hard to debug and weird issues with other plugins bundled after them. The down side is that plugins currently relying on implicit declaration of global helper functions or variables (function convert(value) { ... }) to be available outside of their own plugin's JS assets will now run into errors. To compensate for that while affected plugins are adjusted to declare globals explicitly (window.convert = function(value) { ... }), a temporary feature flag was added as "Settings > Features > Enable legacy plugin asset bundling" that switches back to the old form of bundling until plugins you rely on are updated. This flag will be removed again in a later version (currently planned for 1.3.8). See also the note above and #2246.
• #2229 - Added note to printer profile dialog that the nozzle offsets for multi extruder setups are only to be configured if they are not already set in the printer's firmware.
• #2232 - Disable movement distance buttons when not connected to the printer or when printing, since they don't have any use then.
• #2239 - Improved the check summing speed, thus improving the general achievable throughput on the comm layer.
• Allow cancelling of file transfers
• Made check of how old an unrendered timelapse is more lenient buy looking at both the creation and last modification date and using the younger one.
• Made notifications in general auto-close faster.
• Make the first profile saved for a slicer the default profile for that slicer.
• New command server for testing server connections on the JS test API.
• New hook octoprint.accesscontrol.keyvalidator that allows plugins to validate their own customized API keys to be used to access OctoPrint.
• Updated cookiecutter, requests and psutil dependencies.
• Added safety warning to first run wizard.
• More error resilience against broken view models.
• New sub command octoprint safemode. Will set the server.startOnceInSafeMode setting in the config so that the next (re)start of the server after issuing this command will happen in safe mode.
• New sub command octoprint config effective. Will report the effective config.
• New centralized plugin blacklist (opt-in). Allows to prevent plugins/certain versions of plugins known to cause crippling issues with the normal operation of OctoPrint to be disabled from loading, if the user has opted to do so in the settings/wizard.
• Log how to enable serial.log to serial.log if it's disabled. That will hopefully put at least a small dent in the amount of "It's empty!" responses in tickets ;)
• Force new Pypi index URL in requirements.txt as an additional work around against old tooling.
• Prefer plain pip over git for updating OctoPrint.
• Added environment detection and logging on startup. That should give us more information about the environment to produce a reported bug in.
• Added OctoPi support plugin that provides information about the detected OctoPi version. Will only load if OctoPi is detected.
• More dynamic plugin mixin detection. Now using a base class instead of having to list all types manually. Should greatly reduce overhead of adding new mixin types.
• Support leaf merging for file extension tree, allowing to add new file extensions to types registered by default.
• Allow non GCODE SD file transfers if registered as machinecode through e.g. a plugin's file extension hook. Caution: This doesn't make streaming arbitrary files to the printer via serial work magically. It merely allows that, it's up to the firmware to actually be able to handle that. Also, the regular GCODE streaming protocol is used, so if the streamed file contains control characters from that (e.g. M29 to signal the end of the streaming process), stuff will break!
• Added a test button for the online connectivity check.
• Announcements plugin: Added UTM Tags.
• Cura plugin: Less not configured yet logging.
• GCODE viewer: Added advanced options that allow configuring display of bounding boxes, sorting by layers and hiding of empty layers.
• GCODE viewer: Persist all options to local storage so they will be automatically set again the next time the GCODE viewer is used in the same browser.
• Software update: Auto-hide "Everything is up-to-date" notification.
• Easier copying of terminal contents thanks to dedicated copy button.
• Timelapse: #2067 - Added rate limiting to z-based timelapse capturing to prevent issues when accidentally leaving this mode on with vase mode prints.
• Timelapse: Refactored configuration form & added reset button to switch back to currently active settings.
• Timelapse: Sort timelapses by modification instead of creation time (creation time can be newer if a backup restore was done).
• Virtual printer: Support configurable ambient temperature for testing.
• Virtual printer: Support configurable reset lines.
• Virtual printer: Added new debug trigger trigger_missing_lineno.
• Virtual printer: Allow empty/None prepared oks, allowing to simulate lost acknowledgements right on start.
• Docs: #2142 - Added documentation for the bundled virtual printer plugin.
• Docs: #2234 - Added info on how to install under Suse Linux.
• Docs: Added example PyCharm run configuration that includes automatic dependency updates on start.
• Docs: Added information on how to run the test suite.
• Various refactorings
• Various documentation updates
• Fetch plugin blacklist (and also announcements, plugin notices and plugin repository) via https instead of http.
