New release: 1.2.18

With 1.2.18 I hereby present you with what will hopefully be the final 1.2.x release we see. The idea is to fix a couple of things just in case 1.3.0 won’t prove to be stable enough for a pre-holiday release after all.

For this reason we are only looking at a very short change list here, which pretty much boils down to this:

• Allow arbitrary frame rates for creating timelapses by improving the parameterization of the render command. That should solve any “unsupported framerate” messages you might have run into.
• Made it clearer what kind of Cura profiles are supported by the bundled CuraEngine slicer plugin.
• Added support for the R parameter for M109 or M190 as temperature target.
• Fixed issues with selecting the default printer profile, propagating the target temperature, handling of restricted settings and IPv6 compatibility.

Quick heads-up for you if you are already running 1.3.0rc2: OctoPrint might show you a notification for 1.2.18. But you won't be able to "update" (or rather downgrade) to it unless you first switch back to either the Stable or the Maintenance RC release channels. No heads-up necessary after all, caused by my pre-release test setup, all is well :)

You can find the full changelog and release notes as usual on Github.

Further Information

It may take up to 24h for your update notification to pop up, so don’t be alarmed if it doesn’t show up immediately after reading this. You can force the update however via Settings > Software Update > Advanced options > Force check for update.

If you don’t get an “Update Now” button with your update notification, read this or - even more specifically - this.

If you are running 1.2.7, get an “Update Now” button but the update is immediately reported to be successful without any changes, read this.

If you are running 1.2.16, get an “Update Now” button but the update is immediately producing an error message, read this.
