If you are currently running version 1.2.7 you’ll need to install the “Updatefix 1.2.7” plugin from the plugin repository before you can update your OctoPrint installation.

Version 1.2.7 sadly contains a bug that breaks updating OctoPrint. When attempting to update, you’ll simply get presented with an “update successful” message, but nothing was actually updated. Version 1.2.8 contains a fix, but naturally we have a hen-egg-problem here. To allow you updating to 1.2.8, a plugin was made available that basically backports the needed fix to 1.2.7 by monkey patching your existing installation during runtime: “Updatefix 1.2.7”. It can be found in the plugin repository and can be installed directly through your plugin manager - just refresh the plugin list from the repository (via the little wrench icon in the plugin manager install dialog) if it doesn’t show up immediately when you search for “update”.

The section “A bug in 1.2.7 prevents directly updating to 1.2.8, here’s what to do” in the release notes explains everything and also offers you a work around if you can’t or don’t want to install the plugin. The FAQ has been updated as well.

A lot of people have complained about OctoPrint's default web interface not being optimized for mobile or small screen devices, and rightly so. One of the reasons why I created the plugin interface for OctoPrint 1.2.0 was that I hoped that it would enable people to get creative and solve such pain points themselves, and it's great to see developers like Paul de Vries aka "Billy Blaze" stepping up to that challenge.

Mostly fixes of minor bugs and annoyances but also a couple of improvements:

Whoa, another one? Yup. I forgot to pin the version of a library OctoPrint now depends on since 1.2.5. A new version of that library was released today which apparently has a bug that causes the install of OctoPrint to crash when it tries to pull in that new library version ("pip install ." works, "python setup.py install" does not). If you tried to update today and ran into errors, read further below on how to solve this manually.

Again mostly fixes of minor bugs and annoyances ;)

I was made aware of a security issue with OctoPrint 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 a couple of hours ago. I just fixed that and pushed a new release 1.2.2. The changelog is here: https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/releases/tag/1.2.2

I just tagged and pushed 1.2.1 to the master branch. It includes some minor bug fixes of things that were reported to me since the 1.2.0 release.

It has come to my attention that apparently the last release of OctoPi 0.11.0 from February (the one that introduced RPi2 compatibility and which is based on the Raspbian release from 2015-01-31) contains a little issue with the shipped OctoPrint checkout that prevents updates of OctoPrint on this image to run smoothly.
