New release: 1.4.2

This is a hotfix release to fix three bugs in 1.4.1 that sadly only were reported after the release candidate phase for 1.4.1.

Due to that the changelog is very short and only consists of three bug fixes:

  • #3674 - Fix a bug that prevents plugin installation via upload for plugins over 1MB in size.
  • #3676 - Work around an issue in a third party dependency causing server startup to fail if there are files in the watched folder and polling of the watched folder is enabled. Also further hardening against similar issues interfering with server startup.
  • #3678 - Fix a bug that prevents plugin installation via URL from servers that enclose the filename option in the Content-Disposition HTTP header in double quotes. Affected some plugins not hosted on Github.

Like every single release (and release candidate) of OctoPrint ever since early 2016 this was made possible only through your continued support of my work 💕
