New release: 1.9.2

This second bugfix release for 1.9.x includes a work around for an issue with a third party dependency that arose since yesterday, July 17th, and also backports two fixes from the upcoming 1.10.0 release:

🐛 Bug fixes

  • #4779 & PR#4780: Work around argon2 password hashing algorithm not working reliably on Rock64/aarch64 - no error is produced, but the hash verification just fails. Fall back to pbkdf2_sha256 if this happens. Backported from 1.10.0.dev.
  • #4806: Fix the httpheader software update check type. Backported from 1.10.0.dev.
  • #4854: Upgrade PyYaml dependency to 6.0.1+. This works around an issue existing in PyYaml versions 5.4.0 to 6.0.0 with its dependency Cython in version 3.0, which was released on July 17th 2023. Said issue renders OctoPrint uninstallable due to PyYaml’s install failing.

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 💕
