 Before attempting to update your installation from version 1.2.7 to version 1.2.8,
-please install the plugin via your plugin manager and restart your server.

+#### Bed temperatures are now only displayed if printer profile has a heated bed configured
+
+This release fixes a [bug](https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/issues/1125)
+that caused bed temperature display and controls to be available even if the
+selected printer profile didn't have a heated bed configured.
+
+If your printer does have a heated bed but you are not seeing its temperature
+in the "Temperature" tab after updating to 1.2.8, please make sure to check
+the "Heated Bed" option in your printer profile (under Settings > Printer Profiles)
+as shown [in this short GIF](http://i.imgur.com/wp1j9bs.gif).
