OctoPi 1.0.0 RC1 Status

[guysoft]

First release candidate for OctoPi 1.0.0

There are both 32bit and 64bit images available. Which give support to new Raspberry Pi 4B hardware pis that have been shipping out there.
The 64bit image is based on Ubuntu 20.04.4, since it seemed more stable than RaspberryPi OS when testing 64bit, it might improve later on.

Raspsberrypi 3 and up can try the 64bit version. No performance gain in normal OctoPi is expected. It might help future plugins.

Please try the release candidate so we know it works.

[cp2004]

I will admit I'm still not completely sold on the version number being 1.0.0. We get enough people already confusing OctoPi and OctoPrint, I feel like this might make it worse?

What about just 'OctoPi 19.0' - there's no API involved, and it's not possible to update it, so the SemVer type versioning doesn't need to apply? Just specifying that it's the release after 0.18.

[guysoft]

@cp2004 I had a talk about this, which I can't seem to find anywhere now.
The argument is people confuse OctoPi and OctoPrint anyway. So it doesn't really change the situation.
And I don't want to that already existing confusion effect version naming. Worst case if it goes crazy (which I doubt, but open to be corrected), wWe can jump to version 2 or 3. But it seems to me to remain at 0.x for this long is just too much. Also its shorter.
We could have named OctoPi differently, but its too of a good pun IMHO.
None the less, thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings :)

[Taomyn]

Great news and really want to try it - will backup my current 0.18 on an RPi-4 and restore it to a new SD card to see how it goes.

Will we be able to upgrade to the full release once it's out, or will we have to install/restore it again?

[foosel]

Reflash and restore, there's no way to upgrade from one version of OctoPi to another.

[wlayher]

Why are 32-bit and 64-bit links pointing to the same file? Talking about confusion ... :-)

[ytwytw]

And 32bits and 64 bits are the same MD5 as well

[wlayher]

Yes, and all the talk about bullseye, and then Ubuntu in the name of the image ...

[matonb]

I would hope so, they're pointing at the same file

[wlayher]

Yes, I can see that. But the text that led me here looks like false advertising then about bullseye ... :-)

[guysoft]

My bad fixing the links for 32bit. Pasting error
Fixed

[QuinnDamerell]

Congrats on 1.0! Well deserved! 🥳

[wlayher]

Thanks! :-)
I'm looking forward to testing the new version with my PiCam HQ. I had switched to ustreamer on my old install, because with mjpegstreamer I had frequent freezes of the livestream in higher res. That problem went away with ustreamer. But with ustreamer octolapse would not sync correctly. So I want to test that on the new version.

[x40-Community]

I just tested the 32bit distribution with the Weedo X40 printer. As with all previous distributions, the connection will not be established due to the outdated CH340 driver.
Please update the CH340 driver.
Have a look at:

Thanks

Restore failed! Check the above output and octoprint.log for reasons as to why.

[rerickson1]

Same as @eblieb restoring a backup does not working correctly. I am restoring a backup made from a 32-bit installation, maybe this has something to do with it.

I get the same latin-1 error, but with a different plugin.
