⚠️ 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!
✋ Heads-up
All of the heads-ups of 1.8.0rc1 apply.
Heads-up for plugin authors: Settings._config is read-only!
If your plugin code has been using Settings._config to modify what gets stored in config.yaml, this will no longer work. It never was a supported method, however it did work due to how things were implemented internally. Implementation has changed now so that any code doing this will no longer work - the nested dictionary returned by the Settings._config is only a copy of the internal data structure and thus any modifications will be dropped silently. A deprecation warning has been added just in case. Use the provided set and remove methods on the settings object instead please.
✨ Improvements
- Harden against wonky firmware temperature responses that might lead to hotend or bed temperature values to be overwritten with something else by only ever using the first value for a sensor key seen in the response.
🐛 Bug fixes
- #4486 (regression) - Fix changing of folder paths via the settings.
