v4.1.0 (test-releases)

Features

Events / commands

Refactor Mesh heartbeat

This refactors the Gateway Mesh heartbeat payload into a more generic Mesh Event payload, which can be used by both "known" and "proprietary" event types. The first implemented "known" type is the heartbeat. While this refactor is not backwards compatible and requires ChirpStack MQTT Forwarder v4.4+, the backwards incompatibility does not affect the functioning of the Gateway Mesh itself.

Proprietary events

This release adds configuration options to periodically send Relay events. These events can generated by commands that are periodically executed. See the configuration section for more information.

Proprietary commands

Next to events, this release also makes it possible to remotely execute commands on the Relay gateways, by using MQTT. See the configuration section for more information.

ZMQ API

This aligns the Concentratord ZMQ API interface with the ChirpStack Concentratord v4.5+. Please make sure to update to this Concentratord version or later. For Border Gateways, please make sure to also update the ChirpStack MQTT Forwarder to v4.4 or later.
