Use this carefully. An error reported by your firmware usually hints
at something being off about your printer (e.g. thermistor troubles)
or the firmware not being fully compatible to OctoPrint since
it doesn't recognize a lot of commands.
If you print with this option enabled, it will still fail if you firmware goes
into lockdown, but now it will keep trying to send data to your printer.
That might cause issues. So best not use that option, only if you absolutely
have no other way to get some misbehaving printer to work with
OctoPrint.
The client now tries to detect if it's fast enough to process the
state updates usually send every 500ms, and if not notifies the
server to throttle the rate (e.g. to 1/1s, 1/1.5s etc).
Additionally, since the terminal tab of the client turned out to
be quite CPU intense when line number calculation, filtering etc
is enabled, the terminal tab now also falls back into a bit less
fancy mode if it detects its being processed too slow and optionally
even disables logging completely during printing (where a lot
of log messages need to be processed in a minimum amount of
time).
That way the UI should stay responsive even on very low powered
clients (e.g. chromium on a Pi), while printing.
We suffer from the same problem as commands being suppressed in the
send queue here. If a non-GCODE-command we send to the printer
produces no output, our _monitor loop will wait until the next response
produced by another command. Which we won't send though since
we are stuck waiting in the _monitor loop waiting for a response. Hence
we need to manually trigger further command processing from the
send loop here in order to ensure things keep going.
Also make sure that if we have a pkg_resources version that returns
tuples we not only remove any intermediary version parts if the base
version is requested, but we also append "*final" to the tuple afterwards,
otherwise the compatibility check will fail.
That way people will not see connection failed messages while the server is
still starting up.
Served intermediary page als "pings" an image on the backend to detect if
a) the backend is still responding at all ("intermediary.gif") and b) whether the
server has fully started up ("online.gif").
If the backend stops responding for 5s, a message is output that tells the user
that something went really wrong and to please check the log file.
Once the server becomes online, the intermediary page reloads/switches to the
actual UI.
