• Print hours display - Convert large hour values to readable units (e.g., 478h → 3w, 100h → 4d)
• Printer hour counter - Fixed runtime_seconds not incrementing during prints (first timestamp was set but never committed)

Changed

[0.1.6b3] - 2025-12-31

Added

• Customizable Theme System - Comprehensive theme customization with independent settings for dark and light modes:

[0.1.6b2] - 2025-12-29

Added

• Virtual Printer - Bambuddy now emulates a Bambu Lab printer on your network! Send prints directly from Bambu Studio or Orca Slicer without needing a physical printer connection. Features include:
  • SSDP discovery (printer appears automatically in slicer)
  • Secure TLS/MQTT communication with auto-generated certificates
  • Queue mode (prints go to pending uploads) or auto-start mode
  • Configurable access code for authentication
  • Works with Docker (requires network_mode: host)
  • Persistent certificates across container rebuilds via volume mount

Fixed

• Backup/restore for virtual printer settings - Virtual printer settings (enabled, access code, mode) now correctly persist after restore without being overwritten by auto-save

[0.1.6b] - 2025-12-28

Added

• Tasmota device discovery - Automatically discover Tasmota smart plugs on your network. Click "Discover Tasmota Devices" in the Add Smart Plug modal to scan your local subnet. Supports devices with and without authentication.
• Switchbar for quick smart plug access - New sidebar widget for controlling smart plugs without leaving the current page. Enable "Show in Switchbar" for any plug to add it to the quick access panel. Shows real-time status, power consumption, and on/off controls.
• Timelapse editor - Edit timelapse videos with trim, speed adjustment (0.25x-4x), and music overlay. Uses FFmpeg for server-side processing with browser-based preview.
• AMS filament preview - Reprint modal shows filament comparison between what the print requires and what's currently loaded in the AMS. Compares both type and color with visual indicators (green=match, yellow=color mismatch, orange=type mismatch). Includes Re-read button to refresh AMS status from printer, fuzzy color matching for similar colors, and shows AMS slot location for each matched filament.
• File type badge - Archive cards now show GCODE (green) or SOURCE (orange) badge to indicate whether the file is a sliced print-ready file or source-only.
• Docker printer discovery - Subnet scanning for discovering printers when running in Docker with network_mode: host. Automatically detects Docker environment and shows subnet input field in Add Printer dialog.
• Printer model mapping - Discovery now shows friendly model names (X1C, H2D, P1S) instead of raw SSDP codes (BL-P001, O1D, C11).
• Discovery API tests - Comprehensive test coverage for discovery endpoints.
• Project filament colors - Project cards now display filament color swatches from assigned archives.
• BOM filter - Hide completed BOM items with "Hide done" toggle on project detail page.
• Projects in backup/restore - Projects, BOM items, and attachments now included in database backup/restore.
• Attachment file validation - File type validation for project attachments (images, documents, 3D files, archives, scripts, configs).

Changed

• Timelapse viewer - Default playback speed changed from 2x to 1x.
• GitHub issue template - Added mandatory printer firmware version field and LAN-only mode checkbox for better bug reports.
• Docker compose - Clearer comments explaining network_mode: host requirement for printer discovery and camera streaming.
• Project card design - Enhanced visual polish with gradients, shadows, and glow effects on hover.
• Project page layout - Improved spacing and padding on project list and detail pages.
• Delete confirmations - Replaced browser confirm dialogs with styled confirmation modals.

Fixed

• Notification module - Fixed bug where notifications were sent even when printer was offline.
• Attachment uploads - Fixed file attachments not persisting due to SQLAlchemy JSON column mutation detection.
• Camera stream stability - Fixed stream stopping after a few minutes by increasing ffmpeg read timeout (10s→30s), adding buffer options, and implementing auto-reconnection with exponential backoff in the frontend.

[0.1.5] - 2025-12-19

Fixed

• Browser freeze on print completion - Fixed freeze when camera stream was open during print completion by using buffered camera frames instead of spawning duplicate ffmpeg processes
• Printer status "timelapse" effect - Fixed issue where navigating to printer page after print showed metrics animating slowly from mid-print values to final state; printer_status messages now bypass the throttled queue
• Timelapse auto-download - Complete rewrite with retry mechanism and multiple path support
• Timelapse detection for H2D - H2D sends timelapse status in ipcam.timelapse field, not xcam.timelapse
• Reprint from archive - Fixed bug where print button sent slicer source file instead of sliced gcode
• Import shadowing bugs - Fixed ArchiveService import shadowing causing "cannot access local variable" error
• Timelapse race condition - xcam data was parsed before print state was set

Added

• Failure reason detection - Auto-detects failure reasons from HMS errors:
  • Filament runout (Module 0x07)
  • Layer shift (Module 0x0C)
  • Clogged nozzle (Module 0x05)
• Hide failed prints filter - Toggle to hide failed/aborted prints with localStorage persistence
• Docker test suite - Comprehensive tests for build, backend, frontend, and integration
• Pre-commit hooks - Ruff linter and formatter for code quality
• Code quality tests - Static analysis to catch import shadowing bugs automatically

Changed

• Timelapse viewer - Default playback speed changed from 0.5x to 2x
• Archive badges - Shows "cancelled" for aborted prints, "failed" for failed prints
• WebSocket optimization - Removed large raw_data field from print_complete message; reduced throttle to 100ms for smoother updates

Docker

• Added ffmpeg to Docker image
• Fixed build warnings (debconf, pip root user)
• Added comprehensive Docker documentation to README
• Added --pull flag to ensure fresh base images
