Release notes for the web platform, the mobile app and the SimplyPrint Client.

Printer logs, straight from the control panel
New features
Printer logs: Ask a printer for its OctoPrint logs from the control panel, read them right in the panel, and delete them when you are done.
Improvements
More slicers recognised: Files sliced in Bambu Studio and A3dp-Slicer are recognised by the G-code analysis.
Permission changes apply at once: When you change someone's user group or permissions, it takes effect immediately for people who are logged in. A user you remove is told and logged out.
5 bug fixes
Fixed a folder being movable into itself in Your files.
Fixed the print queue's "Amount left" not updating when a print was started from the queue.
Fixed printers' run time missing from the Statistics page.
Fixed dates in the print history showing empty or wrong, and its date filters.
Fixed a spool sometimes being assigned to a printer twice.
Compiled afterwards from our development history.

Out of beta, with a new way to connect printers and a new app
New features
New way of connecting your printers: Printers talk to SimplyPrint much faster, using a fraction of the network traffic they did before.
A brand-new app: The mobile app got as big an update as the web platform. Find it in the App Store or on Google Play.
Device health: A new control panel widget shows, in real time, how the Pi or other device running SimplyPrint is doing: CPU and memory use, and temperature.
Multi-extruder support: Proper support for printers with more than one extruder.
Klipper support: Official support for Klipper, through Mainsail, Fluidd or Moonraker alone.
Improvements:
Farm mode · Preheat and cool down many printers · API for automation · Faster livestream · Updated look, faster loading · Drag and drop files, and 19 more
Show all 25 improvements
Farm mode: A farm mode for the print queue: mark several printers ready at once and start them all with one click.
Preheat and cool down many printers: Preheat or cool down several printers at the same time, by printer group or all of them.
API for automation: An API you can use to automate SimplyPrint. In closed beta for now: write to us if you want to try it.
Faster livestream: Almost double the speed on every subscription plan. Still in testing.
Updated look, faster loading: An updated interface that loads up to 500 times faster.
Drag and drop files: Drop files onto printers, printer groups and the print queue.
More reliable job updates: A print that finishes while your printer or Pi is offline is still picked up.
Bed leveling helper: A completely new bed leveling helper.
Filament change helper: A completely new, much better filament change helper.
Compact and List printer views: With several printers, see up to three times as many on screen as before.
Setup guide: The setup guide was completely revamped.
G-code analysis: The revamped analysis catches more errors in your G-code files, and so prevents a number of nasty failures.
Control panel layout: A new layout for the printer control panel.
Printer groups for queue jobs: Assign printer groups to print queue jobs.
Job images in email notifications: Email notifications include a picture of the job.
Printers reserved while starting: A printer is reserved as soon as you start a print or slice for it.
See who cancelled: A new option, with its own permission, shows who cancelled a print.
Hub: The Hub was revamped and is more secure. Temporary login has a better design and logs out after five minutes of inactivity, not after every action.
Assigning filament: Assigning filament to a printer is easier.
Statistics page: The Statistics page was revamped.
Print jobs page: The Print jobs page was revamped.
Print job view: The page for a single print job was revamped.
Helpdesk in the live chat: Help articles open inside the live chat, so you can read them without leaving the page.
Prints start when the file arrives: A print now starts as soon as the printer has the file, with no second click on Start. If it fails to start, the browser tab sounds a buzzer. A setting under Settings > Printers brings the confirmation back.
No forced setup guide: New accounts go straight into the platform. Adding a printer first is no longer required.
