#### A bug in 1.2.7 prevents directly updating to 1.2.8, here's what to do
Due to a bug in the Software Update plugin bundled with version 1.2.7, updating
to 1.2.8 through OctoPrint itself necessitates the installation of a plugin
that fixes said bug (through monkey patching).
A bug in OctoPrint 1.2.7 (fixed in 1.2.8) prevents updating OctoPrint to version
1.2.8. If you try to perform the update, you will simply be told that "the update
was successful", but the update won't actually have taken place. To solve this
hen-egg-problem, a plugin has been made available that fixes said bug (through

The plugin "Updatefix 1.2.7" can be found [in the plugin repository](http://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/updatefix127/) and
[on Github](https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint-Updatefix-1.2.7/).
