✨ New Features

• All new UI for editing the configuration, built from the ground up with a new sidebar and backup window:
  

• New backup feature. Backups are now created on the system as a direct export of the internal data, rather than a GCODE script as they were previously. This makes the backup feature incredibly reliable where it was previously very hit and miss (#8)

  

  • Backups can have custom names, enable this via Settings > Marlin EEPROM Editor > Use custom backup name. Useful to keep track of different profiles, or just if you don't want the auto generated names. (#4)

  

  • Important notice about backups from previous versions of the plugin
    Backups from previous versions of of the plugin are no longer supported. Sorry if this worked well for you, but for many they were broken and so the backup system was completely re-written.

• New Firmware Info screen:
  

  • I am aware of a minor formatting issue with the firmware name, this is not my fault but instead is a bug in OctoPrint itself. Will be fixed by OctoPrint 1.6.0 - please do not report it to me!

• Better, more descriptive error messages are now shown, along with icons for states such as:

  • Not connected
  • Printer is not Marlin

• Read only mode: When the printer has been disconnected or it is currently printing, the editor goes into 'read-only' mode. You can view the settings here but cannot edit them, create or restore backups.
  

• Added TouchUI icon (#6)

• Release channels for OctoPrint >1.5.x

  • Those of you testing the release candidates of V3 would have already seen, this allows for pre-release testing. See here for a guide of how to use them

• The source is now versioned by a customised Python Versioneer setup (thanks @foosel for this one!)

• There is a pre-commit suite setup for formatting of the source - run pre-commit install if you want to contribute please! Full contribution guidelines to follow.

• Added sponsors & contributor modals, view from the plugin settings

• Disabled greeting wizard (#13 & #14)

• Added auto-release workflows, CI testing. Currently the test suite is limited but this will be expanded in the future.

There's plenty more to come for this plugin, but for now, this is as far as I have got in my changes:

• Added Python 3 compatibility
• Added a wizard on install to let you know I have taken over maintenance
• The entire interface has moved to a tab, since this is more suited to this plugin. The settings page will be reserved for future plugin settings that need configuring
• Fixed fonts on main buttons
• Updated for new author credit, copyright, links, install URL
• (#2 ) Fix whitespace appearing before firmware info
• Swap EEPROM and Marlin in name, for grammatical correctness
