There's a blog post with release notes for v1.04 here: https://reprappro.com/2015/03/16/reprap-firmware-version-1-04-released/
When updating from 0.78c (or other versions) to 1.04, there is an issue which needs the browser cache to be reset. There are instructions about clearing the correct part of the browser cache on that page. "Clear the cache in your browser. It may be caching javascript code or settings of the wrong version, or corrupt. For Chrome, clear the cache, particularly any downloaded files/site data: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95582?hl=en-GB . In Firefox, clear the settings by clearing Preferences > Advanced > Network, then clear Cached Web Content."
Alternatively, changing the ip address of the printer, in config.g, should also work.
Longer explanation: The web browser stores two strings relating to the printer's ip address, 'settings' and 'temps'. The 1.04 web interface has a different string for 'temps', so if there is a pre-existing version (from 0.78c), it doesn't recognise it, and fails to load. There isn't any error checking (there is in the next version of the firmware) so at the moment you have to delete the string manually (by deleting cookies/downloaded web content), so the web interface can create a new version.
If you want to delete this directly in Chrome, rather than delete all cookies etc, open Chrome > Tools > Developer tools, click 'Resources', click the arrow to reveal the drop down under 'Local Storage'. Then connect to the web interface. The ip address should show below 'Local Storage'. Click on this, and it should show the 'settings' and 'temps' variables. Delete the 'temps' variable, then refresh the connection to the web interface.
Finally, some users can't connect to the Duet and get lots of network errors in the console log (error code -11) in Pronterface. Reset your TCP/IP stack: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/299357
If you want to revert to older firmware, I have added a 'tag' and 'release' of v0.78c in the github repository, here: https://github.com/reprappro/RepRapFirmware/releases
I'm not sure of the status of firmware 0.90... it wasn't an official release. If you want to test our next firmware (v1.09) it's in the 'test' branch of the github repository, and is due for imminent release. This has much improved network code and web interface, courtesy of zombiepantslol.
I hope that helps.

Hi,
I have an Omerod V1 and firmware from branch master at version 1.04 (104-02-02-2015).
the config file is read and the web interface is available. But is says "inactive" and I cannot do anything to connect and control the Omerod. What have I missed? (version 0.90 from 08.08.2014 was still working)
