v4.3.0

Upgrade notes

This release updates the PostgreSQL database version. If you would like to
retain all data, You must create a PostgreSQL + Redis backup before
upgrading. You must use the following commands (using SSH):

mkdir -p /srv/backup
chmod 777 /srv/backup
sudo -u postgres /usr/bin/pg_dump -h localhost -d chirpstack -F c -f /srv/backup/chirpstack.pg

service redis stop
cp /srv/redis/dump.rdb /srv/backup/chirpstack.redis
service redis start

After upgrading, you can use the Restore ChirpStack backup command to
restore the backup. For future backups, you can use the Create ChirpStack
Backup command (see features) after upgrading.

v4.2.0

Features

This is a very exciting release, as this release migrates the ChirpStack Gateway OS from Yocto to OpenWrt. Thanks to LuCI and the UCI configuration system it is now possible to configure the provided ChirpStack components as well things like network configuration through a web-interface instead of a CLI. This release also splits the packages from the ChirpStack Gateway OS configuration such that these can be integrated in other OpenWrt based projects. Main features that this release brings:

Web-interface

There is no need to configure the ChipStack Gateway OS using a terminal. Powered by LuCI), the ChirpStack Gateway OS now provides an easy-to-use web-interface to configure ChirpStack components and system configuration.

Custom packages

Through the web-interface (and cli) it is possible to install additional software using the OpenWrt package repositories. This has been requested several times, but until now would require to compile a custom ChirpStack Gateway OS image which would take several hours to complete.
