Marlin 1.1.4 (Patreon)

Hey everyone! Just a quick note to let you know that Marlin 1.1.4 is out, with all the patches displayed in the image above. This is an incremental release mainly addressing stability and quality.

Marlin 2.0

This week I'm continuing to field issues and provide bug patches for Marlin 1.1 while gathering together resources for Marlin 2.0 with 32-bit support. The Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) was recently refreshed, so there will be at one or more 32-bit boards supported in the initial 2.0 release. Which boards? I'm not sure yet — so stay tuned!

While my next major goal is to get Marlin 2.0 out to the world, I have a list of over 730 issues that I haven't read since their most recent post. Don't be alarmed! Most of these are not bugs, and quite a lot of them are closed issues. But, I do need to go through them and make sure all major issues are fixed in 1.1.x before the big shift. That way we won't be patching up both 1.1.x and 2.0.x constantly, but can focus on 2.0.x for all future work and only need to patch bugs in 1.1.x.

With any luck, the initial Marlin 2.0 release will be ready by July 15.

The Marlin Documentation Project

If you haven't visited the official Marlin website, now is a good time! Last month I finally completed all the G-code pages

Lately I've spent a lot of time on the Development and Features sections. I added a page documenting the included Github Helper Scripts that I wrote to accelerate my Marlin development work. (I hope someone finds them useful!)

As new G-codes have been added and others have been altered, I've been making sure to include them on the RepRap Wiki G-Codes page. The most recent G-codes added were G17, G18, G19, and M118, with support for coordinate planes, serial echo, and host actions.

If there are topics that you want to see covered on the Marlin website, please let me know and I'll write it up. As always, we need your photos, diagrams, and videos covering the basics of 3D Printing and Marlin configuration for beginners.

Can you make a larger or customizable reward?

Admittedly I have not given enough attention to the Patreon rewards system and assiduously promoting this campaign. My patrons have all thus far waived any reward, except occasional support questions, expressing that they are just happy to stabilize my situation and help Marlin evolve faster. Meanwhile, I've been shy to be self-promotional, taking patrons as they come, letting their faith fuel my work, and especially concentrating on Marlin technical issues and the marlinfw.org website. It is a joyous obligation, but I should post more updates. Your point is well-taken and it's been on my mind to send something unique and special out to all my patrons. As I work on that, I also want to look at using affiliations —such as well-known vendors— to promote the campaign. If I can reach my initial goal, it will liberate me to work on more comprehensive documentation, especially videos on the technical aspects. And I would like to be able to offer "bounties" for fixing bugs and making needed features. Currently my focus is on Marlin 2.0 supporting more 32-bit platforms, CNC features for the MakerArm, and apartment-hunting, so it will be a little while before I work on the campaign. However, I have an update pending about the latest work, and I will put something together for all my current patrons soon. You guys deserve kudos and gratitude from the whole community for helping this project!
