Eclipse Hono 1.9.0

1.9.0

Description

This minor release introduces the following new features

  • The Mongo DB based registry now supports enforcement of registration limits configured at the tenant level. In particular, the maximum number of devices and the maximum number of credentials per device can be set in a tenant’s registration-limits property. Please refer to the Mongo DB User Guide for details.
  • Hono now sends a device provisioning notification when a device or a gateway is successfully auto-provisioned.
  • North bound applications sending request/response Command & Control messages via Kafka will now receive a notification about a failed command delivery via a command response message. See the Command & Control API for Kafka for details.
  • The Mongo DB based device registry implementation now supports transparent (symmetric) encryption of Pre-Shared Key secrets. Please refer to the user guide for details regarding configuration.
API Certification

The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".

Architectural Issues

In addition to adding the new features described above, many improvements have been made in the area of supporting Kafka as the messaging infrastructure. However, Kafka support is still considered a technical preview and should not (yet) be used in production environments. However, we encourage users to start experimenting with Kafka and provide feedback and, in particular, report any bugs. The overall goal is to use Kafka as the default messaging infrastructure in the future.
