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)

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

Spoolman Integration

• Integrated Spoolman across desktop and WebUI: IPC handlers, dialogs, component registration,
  config broadcasting, and AD5X safeguards (d8a1b2d, b3308bb, cc04a5a).
• Migrated spool state into the main process, sequenced initialization after window creation, added connection tests/health monitoring/offline dialog, and ensured multi-context trackers stay in sync with temperature monitors (e778289, 8eccf5f, 635fb06, e3ee61d, ed90189, e0e628a).

• Hardened Spoolman initialization queues, temperature displays, and config race conditions so components and dialogs always hydrate with validated data (635fb06, e3a1835, 01e9bb1).
• Addressed security and packaging by overriding js-yaml to 4.1.1, unifying Lucide resource paths, and cleaning dangling filament-tracker routes/config keys (6ff96c1, b424245, 8d3a2ab, 926be79).
• Improved window controls hover coverage, disabled Clear Status during prints, and ensured AD5X single-color jobs always trigger material mapping (db69004, 7101310, 80c1d8e).

About Dialog
