New release: 1.5.3

This release was made possible only through continued financial support by people like you!
Click here if you enjoy OctoPrint and want to help with its funding!

As the first release of 2021 I present you a bugfix release that fixes two small bugs that were identified in 1.5.x and which turned out to cause a significant amount of support overhead over the past couple of weeks.

Accordingly, the changelog is very short and only consists of these entries:

• #3849 - Fix plugin install errors (e.g. due to undervoltage) not being properly reported to the client.
• #3886 - Fix handling of 404 errors upon plugin install

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

Issues while updating?

On every new OctoPrint release we see some people run into the same issues with outdated or broken environments all over again. If you encounter a problem during update, please check this collection of the most common issues encountered over the past couple of release cycles first, and test if the included fixes solve your problem.

Heads-ups

The heads-ups from 1.5.0 still apply, please read them carefully, they might impact you and how you use OctoPrint! Also see the Further Information and Links below for more information, where to find help and how to roll back.

Thanks
