🚀 Highlights

Support Cumulocity IoT device availability feature #2940

The Cumulocity IoT Device monitoring feature is supported out-of-the-box with thin-edge.io. This makes it easier to monitor if your device is online and sending data (with minimal bandwidth).

Check out the documentation for more details.

Cumulocity Remote Access connections are now independent when using systemd #3007

If you're using systemd, then the Cumulocity Cloud Remote Access feature is even more useful as thin-edge.io now uses systemd socket activation to launch the connection meaning that the connection is now fully independent of other services...to put it another way, if you're using the Cumulocity IoT Cloud Remote Access feature to connect securely to your device with SSH, then you can now restart all of the thin-edge.io services, or even do a full thin-edge.io update without getting disconnected!

tedge config supports appending/removing values in an array-type tedge configs - #2943

This might not sound very interesting but if you're using custom SmartREST 2.0 templates with thin-edge.io, then the adding and remove templates just became a lot easier. You can easily add and remove single values without having to check what any existing values are.

For example, adding and removing values to the c8y.smartrest.templates setting is shown below (also including a comparison without how it previous was done).

# before - each time you set a new value you have to provide the old values
tedge config set c8y.smartrest.templates mycollection1
tedge config set c8y.smartrest.templates mycollection1,mycollection2
tedge config set c8y.smartrest.templates mycollection1,mycollection2,mycollection3

# after - only add the value you want
tedge config add c8y.smartrest.templates mycollection1
tedge config add c8y.smartrest.templates mycollection2
tedge config add c8y.smartrest.templates mycollection3

# Or remove a single value without checking what was previously set
tedge config remove c8y.smartrest.templates mycollection2

Note These new command is not just limited to the c8y.smartrest.templates configuration, but any array based configuration like c8y.topics, az.topics or aws.topic.
