The latest version of ReplicatorG, 0013, is now available for download. This release adds a bit of functionality to the firmware uploader:

• The uploader now contacts our servers to see if new firmware releases are available at startup. If they are, it will download them and give you a reminder that a new firmware version is available for your board.
• The uploader now autoresets your extruder board, so you’ll no longer have to hit the reset button manually when you update your extruder controller’s firmware. (It can also autoreset your motherboard, too, but you’ll need to make a simple modification. See our wiki page on enabling auto-reset on the motherboard for details.

If you’re new to the firmware updater, don’t worry; we’ve written all-new documentation describing how to get firmware on to your boards from ReplicatorG.

• Installing new firmware on your motherboard
• Installing new firmware on your extruder controller

Hopefully this functionality allow us to get firmware fixes to you as quickly as possible, and make it easier than ever for you to get the latest firmware on your bots. Happy hacking!
