During this maintenance window we will upgrade The Things Network v3.18.1

We do not expect noticeable downtime during this deployment.

Here is the changelog since the current version 3.18.0:

Added

  • Add HTTP basic authentication configuration to the webhooks form in the Console.
  • Show repository formatter code in the payload formatter form in the Console and allow pasting the application and payload formatter code when using the JavaScript option.
  • Add query field to search requests, allowing to search for a string in any of ID, Name, Description and EUI (for entities that have EUIs).
  • gRPC service to Gateway Configuration Server so that gateway configurations can be obtained via gRPC requests.
  • The option to configure the Redis idle connection pool timeout, using the redis.idle-timeout setting.
  • New RP002 regional parameters as options during device registration in the Console.
  • Fallback for frequency plan, MAC and PHY version values for end device import in the Console.

Changed

  • The custom webhook option is now shown at the top of the list in the Console when adding new webhooks.
  • Wording around webhook statuses to Healthy, Requests failing and Pending.
  • The uplink event preview in the Console now shows the highest SNR.
  • When scheduling downlink messages with decoded payload, the downlink queued event now contains the encoded, plain binary payload.
  • When Application Server forwards downlink messages to Network Server, the event payload now contains the encrypted LoRaWAN FRMPayload.
  • Integration settings are now retrieved from the read-only Redis replica.
  • The Network Server will now match downlink acknowledgements on the cache redis cluster (previously the general cluster was used).
  • Gateway Connection statistics updates are now debounced. The debounce period occurs before the statistics are stored, and can be configured using the gs.update-connection-stats-debounce-time setting (default 5 seconds).
  • Event publication when the Redis backend is used may no longer block the hot path. Instead, the events are now asynchronously published, which may render their ordering to change.
    • The events are queued and published using the worker pool mechanism, under the redis_events_transactions pool.
    • The length of the queue used by the pool may be configured using the events.redis.publish.queue-size setting.
    • The maximum worker count used by the pool may be configured using the events.redis.publish.max-workers setting.
  • Payload formatter form layout in the Console.

Removed

  • Ability to select the Repository payload formatter type for end devices that have no Device Repository association or have no associated repository payload formatter.

Fixed

  • Webhook statuses being shown as pending regardless of their actual condition.
  • Consistent ordering of entities with equal values for the sort field.
  • Fix xtime sent to LBS gateways for Class C downlinks.
