FlashForgeUI v1.0.5-alpha.6 (Pre-release)

FlashForgeUI v1.0.5-alpha.6 (Pre-release)

Desktop monitoring and control app for FlashForge printers.

This is an alpha pre-release build intended for testing before the next stable desktop release.

Changes

Creator 5 / Creator 5 Pro

• The per-tool Off button now actually turns the tool head off. The Creator 5 firmware only treats 0 as "off" inside the per-nozzle command and ignored the -100 sentinel the cancel path was sending (@ghosttypes/ff-api 1.6.1).
• Tool heads are now displayed as T1–T4 to match the printer's own UI (the wire protocol stays 0-based).

FlashForgeUI v1.0.5-alpha.2 (Pre-release)

Creator 5 / Creator 5 Pro

These models are HTTP-only (no legacy TCP on 8899). This wires them up properly and cleans up the material handling around them.

• Temperature control now routes over HTTP
• Added the Creator 5's filament palette (24 colors, 21 materials)
• Updated to @ghosttypes/ff-api 1.3.6, which allows per-slot material/color editing on the Creator 5

Material Station

• Renamed the ifs-station grid component to material-station now that it serves the Creator 5 as well as the AD5X; existing saved layouts migrate automatically

FlashForgeUI v1.0.5-alpha.1 (Pre-release)

Changes

First alpha of the 1.0.5 cycle, adding initial Creator 5 / Creator 5 Pro support.

Creator 5 / Creator 5 Pro

• New Creator5Backend routes the Creator 5 and Creator 5 Pro to a dedicated backend that reuses the AD5X 4-slot material station and dual HTTP + TCP transport, with the Creator 5's per-tool nozzle temperatures, built-in camera, and native print-start material matching
• New Tool Temperatures grid component shows all four nozzle temperatures; add it from the component picker
• Creator 5 Pro capability gating: filtration / aux fan and the real door sensor are enabled for the Pro; the plain Creator 5 correctly hides the (sensorless) door status
• Built on @ghosttypes/ff-api 1.3.4, which adds Creator 5 detail parsing, per-tool temps, and the native /printGcode start-job command

FlashForgeUI v1.0.4

This release brings a major new Calibration Assistant, a complete camera-streaming rework on go2rtc, a full security hardening pass, and a modern testing + tooling foundation.

Calibration Assistant

• New Calibration Assistant connects to your printer over SSH/SCP, parses Klipper configuration, and runs bed-mesh and input-shaper analysis with rendered reports — all from a dedicated desktop dialog (874f9de, 40e0c1c)

go2rtc Camera Streaming

• Replaced the legacy RTSP/JSMpeg stack with the go2rtc streaming gateway for low-latency WebRTC/MSE/MJPEG playback on both desktop and WebUI, with managed binary lifecycle and automatic stream configuration (462f35a, b3ebb4f)
• Auto-detect OEM cameras from printer-reported stream URLs, with intelligent fallback probing of http://<printer-ip>:8080/?action=stream when firmware omits the URL (f4a62ed, 7d585d5, 64b17af)
• Retired CameraProxyService, RtspStreamService, PortAllocator, and JSMpeg canvas rendering (462f35a)

Notifications

• Discord notifications can now include a camera snapshot of the print (89267c3)
• Corrected time and ETA reporting across the WebUI and Discord alerts (6135d60)

Material Station (IFS)

• The IFS material station is now a first-class GridStack component with responsive layouts (1×4, 4×1, 2×2, compact) and dynamic spool sizing, replacing the old dialog (e14e058)

Theme Profiles & UI

• Create, rename, and delete custom theme profiles on both Desktop and WebUI (67b6971, 24f765d)
• Resizable UI components with updated default sizes (5931146)

Debug Logging

• New file-based debug logging system with session management, log rotation, and network-specific logs for connection troubleshooting (be53b98)
• --debug / --debug-network CLI flags for desktop and headless, a Settings toggle with a nested network option, and WebUI endpoints to list/download logs (be53b98)

Per-Printer Legacy Mode

• Legacy API mode is now a per-printer setting instead of a global override, with full settings/UI plumbing for 5M-series fallback (7bf2db9)

Testing & Reliability

• Browser Playwright coverage for the built WebUI — asset versioning, auth, WebSocket login, and context switching — backed by a fixture server (d967df9)
• Emulator-backed and live Electron Playwright coverage across 5M Pro, 5M, AD5X, Adventurer 3/4, plus multi-printer discovery, with dedicated Windows-friendly scripts (dc58252, c9c0348, 5a5f62d)
• Greatly expanded Jest coverage across managers, services, WebUI server/routes, static client modules, and build utilities (5d7e7e5)
• Aligned runtime discovery with the latest @ghosttypes/ff-api and kept printer-tab state synchronized; no-cache WebUI assets prevent stale mixes (6de2a87, 3d57598, 5d7e7e5)

Security

• Hardened the WebUI: path-traversal protection on job filenames, timing-safe auth comparison, security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy), stored-XSS prevention, PBKDF2 password hashing (210k iterations) with automatic migration, per-installation dynamic secrets, and a secured go2rtc proxy binding (3d51c6e, 6366705, e2905d6, 235a225, d98e809, 649f704, 4c7433b, 98ea4ec)
• Resolved all 67 open Dependabot alerts (23 high / 35 moderate / 9 low → 0) (4a9d494, 9420edd, cb979aa)

Platform & Tooling

• Upgraded Electron 35 → 39.8.10 and migrated the project from npm to pnpm (4a9d494, 0adcdca)
• Migrated the entire app to native ESM (c4a5d3c)
• Job uploader now displays translated slicer warnings and estimated first-layer time (f2c8933)

FlashForgeUI v1.0.4-alpha.4 (Pre-release)

FlashForgeUI v1.0.4-alpha.4 (Pre-release)

Desktop monitoring and control app for FlashForge printers.

This is an alpha pre-release build intended for testing before the next stable desktop release.

Changes

Added

• Calibration Assistant with SSH/SCP transport, Klipper config parsing, bed mesh and input shaper analysis engines, report rendering, API routes, desktop dialog flows, and shared calibration types (874f9de, 40e0c1c)
• OEM camera auto-detection from printer-reported stream URLs plus intelligent fallback probing of http://<printer-ip>:8080/?action=stream when firmware omits the URL (f4a62ed, 7d585d5)
• Camera snapshots in Discord notifications for supported camera sources (89267c3)
• Browser Playwright coverage for the built WebUI, including asset-versioning, auth, WebSocket login, and context-switching flows backed by a fixture server (d967df9)
• Playwright Electron smoke coverage with a live desktop runner for launch, auto-connect, and connected-UI verification against the local FlashForgeUI profile (5a5f62d)
• Emulator-backed Electron Playwright coverage for direct and discovery connections across 5M Pro, 5M, AD5X, Adventurer 3, and Adventurer 4, plus multi-printer discovery flows (dc58252, c9c0348)
• Expanded source-level Jest coverage for managers, services, WebUI server/routes, WebUI static client modules, camera utilities, printer settings defaults, and the WebUI asset copy script (5d7e7e5)
• Dedicated Electron emulator slice scripts for legacy, legacy-multi, modern-multi, smoke, and live test execution on Windows-friendly command lines (c9c0348)

Changed

• Refactor backend selection to use per-printer legacy mode settings instead of a global legacy override, including settings/UI plumbing for 5M-series fallback coverage (7bf2db9)
• Normalize build, lint, TypeScript, Babel, Vite, and packaging configuration to support the expanded Jest and Playwright test surface cleanly (ca99951)
• Harden connection establishment and printer detail flows for emulator-backed direct/discovery testing, including port-aware connections and saved-printer seeding paths (dc58252)
• Refactor calibration SSH/SCP flow and config path handling for the desktop calibration workflow (40e0c1c)
• Extract ContextServiceInitializer and unify Discord timer setup across printer contexts (4b2e798)
• Upgrade @ghosttypes/ff-api through the current published releases to align runtime discovery and camera support (3d57598, 0eb66a2, 7d585d5)

Fixed

• Align runtime discovery integration with the current @ghosttypes/ff-api discovery API and keep printer tab connection state synchronized in the renderer (6de2a87)
• Prevent stale desktop-hosted WebUI asset mixes by serving no-cache static assets and build-stamped local module URLs (5d7e7e5, ca99951)
• Restore deterministic desktop test selection on Windows by adding explicit Electron emulator script entry points instead of relying on fragile ad hoc Playwright grep invocations (c9c0348)
• Restore go2rtc stream matching after OEM camera auto-detection changes (64b17af)
• Correct time and ETA reporting in the WebUI and Discord notifications (6135d60)

Security

• Bump the tar override to 7.5.10 to patch GHSA-qffp-2rhf-9h96 (d8afc32)
