OctoPrint.orgNew release candidate: 1.3.6rc3
This third release candidate of the 1.3.6 release fixes two small bugs found in 1.3.6rc2 that were regressions:
- Fixed an issue causing redundant software update configuration settings to be written to
config.yaml, in turn causing issues when downgrading to <1.3.5 - Fixed an issue detecting whether the installed version is a release version or a development version.
It also switches plugin blacklist (and announcement, plugin notices and plugin repository) access to https.
Please note that the heads-up in the 1.3.6rc1 announcement regarding the potentially breaking changes in the plugin asset bundling still applies, so give this a read if you haven’t yet. See also this earlier dedicated post on the matter. The plugins that so far are known to be affected by this are
- Navbar Temp up until version 0.8 - version 0.9 is fixed!
- Fullscreen Webcam up until version 0.0.3
If you are tracking the “Maintenance RC” release channel, you should soon get an update notification just like you are used to from stable releases.
If you downgraded back to 1.3.5 from 1.3.6rc1 or 1.3.6rc2 you’ll need to do a tiny fix in your config.yaml,
made necessary the above mentioned (now fixed) bug, or you won’t be able to switch back again to Maintenance RCs to test
this third RC or upgrade to 1.3.6 stable. You’ll need to remove the method: pip line under
plugins.softwareupdate.checks.octoprint and then restart.
You can easily do this config.yaml change via the YamlPatcher plugin using the patch string
[["remove", "plugins.softwareupdate.checks.octoprint.method", ""]]
or via the command line using
sed -i -e "s/method: pip//g" ~/.octoprint/config.yaml
If you are not interested in helping to test release candidates, just ignore this post, 1.3.6 stable will hit your instance via the usual way once it’s ready :)
You can find the full changelog and release notes as usual on Github.
Please provide feedback on this RC. For general feedback you can use this ticket on the tracker. Note that the information that everything works fine for you is also valuable feedback :). For bug reports please follow “How to file a bug report”.
Depending on how the feedback for this release candidate turns out, I’ll either look into releasing 1.3.6 or fix any observed regressions and push out a fourth release candidate ASAP.
