During this maintenance window we will upgrade The Things Network v3.27.0

We expect brief service interruptions during this deployment.

Here is the changelog since the current version v3.26.2:

Added

  • RPCs and CLI command to delete a batch of end devices within an application.
    • Check ttn-lw-cli end-devices batch-delete for more details.
  • Add UserInput component to the Console to handle user id input fields by implementing an autosuggest.

Changed

  • Instead of retrying application downlinks indefinitely, the Application Server now retries them for a configured number of times. Each ApplicationDownlink message contains the attempt and max_attempts fields to indicate the current and maximum number of attempts for a specific application downlink.
  • The Application Server configuration has the as.downlinks.confirmation.default-retry-attempts and as.downlinks.confirmation.max-retry-attempts fields that configure the allowed number of retries for application downlinks. The default values are 8 for the as.downlinks.confirmation.default-retry-attempts and 32 for the as.downlinks.confirmation.max-retry-attempts.
  • The as.downlinks.confirmation.default-retry-attempts field is used for all application downlinks that were scheduled before this change and for every application downlink that does not have the max_attempts field set. On the other hand, the as.downlinks.confirmation.max-retry-attempts field ensures that the max_attempts field's upper bound is contained and does not exceed its value.
  • The number of historical frames considered for the multi-frame query window size in the LoRaCloud Geolocation Services integration. The window size is now limited between 1 and 16 frames with 16 being the default value.

Removed

  • Command-line interface support for listing QR code formats and generating QR codes. This is considered the responsibility of a LoRaWAN Join Server.

Fixed

  • End device data stream not being closed when navigating away from end device pages, which could cause event streams stopping to work due to too many open connections.
