New release: 1.9.1

This first bugfix release for 1.9.0 fixes a few bugs reported since the release of 1.9.0, and also improves one of the new features introduced in 1.9.0:

✨ Improvements

  • #4821: Defer sending of M20 until after the capability report has been received by default, instead of defaulting to sending it right away. Most firmwares out there now should be sending capability reports, and for those that don’t, the setting can still be manually set to false.

🐛 Bug fixes

  • #4818: Fix broken/erroring plugin sorting if a list of SortablePlugins and non sortable plugins gets processed in the same sorting context.
  • #4829: Fix URL used by the GCode Viewer’s worker to fetch info about the file to be rendered. It was not supporting custom prefixes on the URL yet (e.g. http://example.com/octoprint), now it does.
  • #4834: Fix a bug in the GCode Viewer that resulted in a print not being rendered when loaded while the tab of the viewer was not focused.
  • #4824: Fix potential webcam unload/load switching when scrolling on the control tab. Could not always be triggered, but apparently was seen under some circumstances.
  • Fix the reload button of the GCode Viewer
  • Fix a bug in the GCode Viewer causing layers that were empty in one file causing that layer to not be rendered in all consecutively loaded files, until a page reload.

You can also take a look at the short changelog on GitHub.

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 💕
