What's New in AmbientCast
1.7.6
October 31, 2026
Fixes: • A filament slot the printer hasn't identified yet now shows a "?" instead of looking like white filament — matching what the printer's own screen shows. • A clearer "access code rejected" message when a printer refuses its code, even if its camera is still showing a picture. • The printer and camera list is now sorted, and the Add Printer screen no longer flags unrelated network traffic as a missing printer.
