[0.1.6] - 2026-01-24

New Features

• External Link for Archives - Add custom external links to archives for non-MakerWorld sources (Issue #151):
  • Link archives to Printables, Thingiverse, or any other URL
  • Globe button opens external link when set, falls back to auto-detected MakerWorld URL
  • Edit via archive edit modal
  • Included in backup/restore
• External Network Camera Support - Add external cameras (MJPEG, RTSP, HTTP snapshot) to replace built-in printer cameras (Issue #143):
  • Configure per-printer external camera URL and type in Settings → Camera
  • Live streaming uses external camera when enabled
  • Finish photo capture uses external camera
  • Layer-based timelapse: captures frame on each layer change, stitches to MP4 on print completion
  • Test connection button to verify camera accessibility
• Recalculate Costs Button - New button on Dashboard to recalculate all archive costs using current filament prices (Issue #120)
• Create Folder from ZIP - New option in File Manager upload to automatically create a folder named after the ZIP file (Issue #121)
• Multi-File Selection in Printer Files - Printer card file browser now supports multiple file selection (Issue #144):
  • Checkbox selection for individual files
  • Select All / Deselect All buttons
  • Bulk download as ZIP when multiple files selected
  • Bulk delete for multiple files at once

Fixes

• Reprint Cost Tracking - Reprinting an archive now adds the cost to the existing total, so statistics accurately reflect total filament expenditure across all prints
• HA Energy Sensors Not Detected - Home Assistant energy sensors with lowercase units (w, kwh) are now properly detected; unit matching is now case-insensitive (Issue #119)
• File Manager Upload - Upload modal now accepts all file types, not just ZIP files
• Camera Zoom & Pan Improvements - Enhanced camera viewer zoom/pan functionality (Issue #132):
  • Pan range now based on actual container size, allowing full navigation of zoomed image
  • Added pinch-to-zoom support for mobile/touch devices
  • Added touch-based panning when zoomed in
  • Both embedded camera viewer and standalone camera page updated

[0.1.6b11] - 2026-01-22

New Features

• Camera Zoom & Fullscreen - Enhanced camera viewer controls:
  • Fullscreen mode for embedded camera viewer (new button in header)
  • Zoom controls (100%-400%) for both embedded and window modes
  • Pan support when zoomed in (click and drag)
  • Mouse wheel zoom support
  • Zoom resets on mode switch, refresh, or fullscreen toggle
• Searchable HA Entity Selection - Improved Home Assistant smart plug configuration:
  • Entity dropdown replaced with searchable combobox
  • Type to search across all HA entities (not just switch/light/input_boolean)
  • Energy sensor dropdowns (Power, Energy Today, Total) are now searchable
  • Find sensors with non-standard naming that don't match the switch entity name
• Home Assistant Energy Sensor Support - HA smart plugs can now use separate sensor entities for energy monitoring:
  • Configure dedicated power sensor (W), today's energy (kWh), and total energy (kWh) sensors
  • Supports plugs where energy data is exposed as separate sensor entities (common with Tapo, IKEA Zigbee2mqtt, etc.)
  • Energy sensors are selectable from all available HA sensors with power/energy units
  • Falls back to switch entity attributes if no sensors configured
  • Print energy tracking now works correctly for HA plugs (not just Tasmota)
  • New API endpoint: GET /api/v1/smart-plugs/ha/sensors to list available energy sensors
• Finish Photo in Notifications - Camera snapshot URL available in notification templates (Issue #126):
  • New {finish_photo_url} template variable for print_complete, print_failed, print_stopped events
  • Photo is captured before notification is sent (ensures image is available)
  • New "External URL" setting in Settings → Network (auto-detects from browser)
  • Full URL constructed for external notification services (Telegram, Email, Discord, etc.)
• ZIP File Support in File Manager - Upload and extract ZIP files directly in the library (Issue #121):
  • Drop or select ZIP files to automatically extract contents
  • Option to preserve folder structure from ZIP or extract flat
  • Extracts thumbnails and metadata from 3MF/gcode files inside ZIP
  • Progress indicator shows number of files extracted

Fixed

• Print time stats using slicer estimates - Quick Stats "Print Time" now uses actual elapsed time (completed_at - started_at) instead of slicer estimates; cancelled prints only count time actually printed (Issue #137)
• Skip objects modal overflow - Modal now has max height (85vh) with scrollable object list when printing many items on the bed (Issue #134)
• Filament cost using wrong default - Statistics now correctly uses the "Default filament cost (per kg)" setting instead of hardcoded €25 value (Issue #120)
• Spoolman tag field not auto-created - The required "tag" extra field is now automatically created in Spoolman on first connect, fixing sync failures for fresh Spoolman installs (Issue #123)
• P2S/X1E/H2 completion photo not captured - Internal model codes (N7, C13, O1D, etc.) from MQTT/SSDP are now recognized for RTSP camera support (Issue #127)
• Mattermost/Slack webhook 400 error - Added "Slack / Mattermost" payload format option that sends {"text": "..."} instead of custom fields (Issue #133)
• Subnet scan serial number - Fixed A1 Mini subnet discovery showing "unknown-*" placeholder; serial field is now cleared so users know to enter it manually (Issue #140)
