New release: 1.6.1

Blog
1

This first bugfix release for 1.6.x fixes two bugs discovered in 1.6.0 after its stable release, one in the GCode viewer and one in the handling of SD file list requests during and ongoing print:

  • #4115 - GCode viewer: Fix dragging when a printer profile with center origin is selected. As a welcome side effect, this now also means the GCode viewer will finally update the bed dimensions properly on printer profile change.
  • #4119 - Fix blocking timeout when requesting an SD file list while printing & prevent an SD list refresh while printing.

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 💕

I just installed 1.6.0 from img, once it was up and running I setup Octodash, then octoprint wanted me to install 1.6.1, I did now and now it will not start, and no logfile is created.

ideas?

it appears occtoprint binary is zero bytes. I tried to do a pip and install latest and that didnt work either

I managed to do a force install with pip no idea what happened with the upgrade from 1.6.0 yo 1.6.1
