    I'm pleased to announce the release of firmware package 3.2beta1. This release includes more than 30 improvements/new features and 14 bug fixes in RepRapFirmware, plus major improvements to Duet Web Control and Duet Software Framework including the new plugin interface.

    RRF release notes: https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/blob/v3-dev/WHATS_NEW_RRF3.md
    DWC release notes: https://github.com/Duet3D/DuetWebControl/blob/v3.2-dev/WHATS_NEW.md
    DSF release notes: https://github.com/Duet3D/DuetSoftwareFramework/blob/dev/WHATS_NEW.md

    Users of Duet 3 with attached single board computer can update from the unstable package feed in the usual way. All other users can find the release files at https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.2beta1.

      One of the new improvements that we will provide as part of the stable release will be the support of third-party web and SBC plugins.

      A first plugin that should make work with conditional G-code much more intuitive is the new object model browser plugin. You can enable it in the web interface by navigating to Settings -> General -> Plugins. Third-party machines will be available on the Settings- > Machine-Specific page.

      For further details on plugins, see here for a first sketch of the plugin specs. The plugin ZIP structure will be equal for Duets running in standalone and SBC mode. Further documentation and a more polished UI for plugin installations will follow. Please be aware that this is still a beta and things are likely to change again before the final 3.2 release.

          is there an issue with the certificate I get the following

          19ce4452-b2b2-4526-88b1-316255547003-image.png

          rebooted the PI and waited a bit longer for it to come up and tried again this time a update/upgrade appeared to work however DWC Fails to load and I get DCS not started.

          What have I done wrong?

            @Dougal1957 We are using a custom certificate for package signing which is installed by default in the DuetPi image (to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/duet3d.gpg). Sometimes when the package server renews the package lists users may experience errors from apt but that should be an exception.

            This file is available here as well, but no normal user should need it. From your other thread I suspect you managed to install the latest packages though 😉

              @chrishamm indeed just re-tried the sudo-update and it worked that time

                I've got to plead ignorant here and ask for a bit of assistance with upgrading DWC from 3.1.1 to 3.2. Are there instructions posted somewhere I'm overlooking? Thanks..

                  presumably you need to switch to the unstable package repo; ref second paragraph https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Getting_Started_With_Duet_3#Section_Software_Installation

                    @oozeBot You need to connect to your pi via SSH, then run

                    sudo curl https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d-unstable.list -o /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d.list
                    sudo apt-get update
                    sudo apt-get upgrade
                    sudo curl https://pkg.duet3d.com/duetcontrolserver.service -o /usr/lib/systemd/system/duetcontrolserver.service
                    sudo systemctl daemon-reload

                    Wait a few seconds and you should be on 3.2-b1.

                        @chrishamm stable and unstable can safely co-exist now - or was that never an issue just lost in translation?

                          I've updated the DSF and DWC releases and apt packages once again. The work-around as mentioned before should be no longer required.

                          For Duets in standalone mode there is a new DWC version available, too, which can be obtained either from the RRF or DWC release page.

                            the duet2eth with special firmware links to this same duet3d controlserver or there's a separate one ?

                                  @dc42 I know I'm being PITA but I have to and I apologize

                                  It is impossible to figure out what are the branches of each project required to make a certain build. The BuildInstructions.md is not very up2date. So it would be cool if you could, for e.g. in these forum release posts, add info on what branch of each project goes into this release :). Ideally adding a same TAG as release on each product would be awesome

                                    what is the nature of the continuous rotation feature you added? Does it actually do shortest-distance calculation or does it just remove limits?
                                    Thanks

                                      It does shortest distance calculation on G0 moves. Caution, it's not been tested separately in this release, although the underlying code is known to work for SCARA kinematics in previous releases.

                                        Thanks. Would it be possible to add an option in the 3.2 release for this to apply to g1 moves as well?

                                          G1 moves are normally extruding moves, laser cutting/engraving or CNC cutting moves, so it would be inappropriate. It's only for G0 moves that the planner has the freedom to decide how to reach the target position, subject to not allowing Z to get any lower than a straight-line move would.
