History of Klipper releases. Please see installation for information on installing Klipper.
Available on 20170503. Major changes in this release:
- Improved installation on Raspberry Pi machines. Most of the install is now scripted.
- Support for corexy kinematics
- Documentation updates: New Kinematics document, new Pressure Advance tuning guide, new example config files, and more
- Stepper performance improvements (20Mhz AVRs over 175K steps per second, Arduino Due over 460K)
- Support for automatic micro-controller resets. Support for resets via toggling USB power on Raspberry Pi.
- The pressure advance algorithm now works with look-ahead to reduce pressure changes during cornering.
- Support for limiting the top speed of short zigzag moves
- Support for AD595 sensors
- Several bug fixes and code cleanups
Available on 20161223. Major changes in this release:
- Improved documentation
- Support for robots with delta kinematics
- Support for Arduino Due micro-controller (ARM cortex-M3)
- Support for USB based AVR micro-controllers
- Support for "pressure advance" algorithm - it reduces ooze during prints.
- New "stepper phased based endstop" feature - enables higher precision on endstop homing.
- Support for "extended g-code" commands such as "help", "restart", and "status".
- Support for reloading the Klipper config and restarting the host software by issuing a "restart" command from the terminal.
- Stepper performance improvements (20Mhz AVRs up to 158K steps per second).
- Improved error reporting. Most errors now shown via the terminal along with help on how to resolve.
- Several bug fixes and code cleanups
