v0.15.0

Highlights:

• Zephyr port updated to Zephyr v3.7
• NCS port updated to NCS v2.7
• ESP-IDF port updated to ESP-IDF v5.3

Added:

• native_sim platform support in Zephyr's twister execution of
  fw_update example

Changed:

• Use VERSION file to specify application version in fw_update
  example
• Better error message on manifest decode error
• Updated libcoap version to v4.3.4a
• Merged GOLIOTH_SAMPLE_{,PSK_}SETTINGS Kconfig settings
• Added extern "C" in headers for improved C++ compatibility

Fixed:

• CoAP keepalive behavior with Zephyr
• Memory leak by freeing post_block memory in purge_request_mbox()
• Disabled FreeRTOS logging backend on client disconnect
• Stop client during client destroy in golioth_client_destroy()

Known Issues:

• [Zephyr only] Espressif devices have a regression in Zephyr 3.7 that
  frequently causes crashes during flash operations. We recommend remaining
  on Zephyr 3.6 and Golioth Firmware SDK [0.14.0] until the issue is
  is resolved. For more information see
  zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr#77952
• [Zephyr only] Boards utilizing the ESP AT WiFi
  driver,
  such as the nRF52840 DK + ESP32, frequently fail to complete DTLS
  handshakes when using certificate authentication due to an issue with
  DTLS fragment handling when operating in passive mode, which is
  required for DNS resolution in Zephyr 3.7. For more information see
  zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr#77993

Workarounds:

• The MIMXRT1024-EVK received a new upstream Ethernet driver that was
  found to have sporadic "Link Down/Up" events that cause a loss of
  connectivity when downloading binaries during OTA Firmware Update. All
  Zephyr examples in this release include an overlay file for this board
  that reverts to the old driver.

v0.14.0

Highlights:

• Added blockwise uploads for streaming data to Pipelines
• Improved efficiency of blockwise operations
• Reduced log verbosity

Added:

• A new golioth_stream_set_blockwise_sync() API for uploading larger payloads to Pipelines. This is useful when the size of your payload exceeds the MTU of your underlying transport (typically 1024 bytes).
• native_sim Zephyr target is now tested in CI

Changed:

• CoAP retransmissions are no longer reported individually. Instead, a count of the number of retransmissions in the last 10 seconds is reported. This reduces the chattiness of CoAP client logs.
• Blockwise transfers make more efficient use of semaphores and allocations, reducing CPU overhead, overall memory usage, and heap fragmentation.
• Blockwise upload user callbacks are now passed the size of the block, and should no longer rely on a hardcoded block size.
• Reduced log levels of some messages from INFO to DEBUG.

Fixed:

• Gracefully handle allocation errors during synchronous operations.
• Honor content-type in blockwise uploads
• Small typo in Kconfig help

Removed

• Removed BLE provisioning service from Golioth ESP-IDF examples. Users are free to copy this utility into their own repos and use it if they desire. This code is offered as-is and without warranty.

v0.13.1

Fixed:

• Infinite loop in OTA manifest observation retry logic that occurred
  when retries were exhausted.
• Documentation: update links to Stream service

Changed

• Registering an OTA manifest observation will be retried until
  successful, with a delay that doubles after each unsuccessful attempt.
  Use CONFIG_GOLIOTH_FW_OBSERVATION_RETRY_MAX_DELAY_MS to configure the
  maximum delay (defaults to 5 minutes).

v0.13.0

Breaking Changes:

• Added content type parameter to golioth_lightdb_observe_async().
  Previously this defaulted to JSON. Existing projects can add
  GOLIOTH_CONTENT_TYPE_JSON as the third param of this API call to
  replicate behavior prior to this change.

Highlights:

• Added the ability to cancel RPC and Settings observations
• Updated Stream example and documentation to show usage of Golioth's
  Pipelines feature.
• Exposed additional APIs for downloading OTA components.
  • This can be used to implement more complex update scenarios in the user
    application (i.e. outside of the SDK).
  • Note that users who choose to implement their own update logic will need to
    manage applying the update and reporting state back to Golioth, tasks which
    are handled by the built-in, but more limited, firmware update module in
    the SDK.

Added:

• Stream example for ESP-IDF
• Stream service now accepts binary (OCTET_STREAM) data
• Log on failure to send settings response
• Add retry logic to firmware update block download
• Settings response length is now configurable
• New Blockwise Transfer module, for CoAP blockwise uploads and downloads
• Add support to the CoAP client for eager release of observations
• RPC: add ability to cancel observations
• Settings: add ability to cancel observations
• Added support for resolving IPv6 addresses on Thread networks
• Added golioth_ota_download_component() API to OTA service

Fixed:

• Fixed swapped sync/async messages in Stream example
• Stream example now works correctly with on-board temperature sensors
• Target version is now set when reporting OTA status to UPDATING
• Fixed memory leak when maxing out observations
• LightDB State gets of JSON objects would strip leading and trailing
  curly brackets
• Fixed potential buffer overflow during string copy
• Removed unused Kconfig symbols

Changed

• Kconfig: reorganized how Kconfig options are presented in the
  menuconfig interface.
• Use CBOR in Stream example instead of JSON
• Contribution and Style guides have been updated

v0.12.2

Removed:

• Removed automatic ESP-IDF logging - this will be reintroduced in a future
  release with more configuration options.

Added:

• Improved "client not running" error logs with additional context

Fixed:

• Zephyr: Fix crash when repeatedly stopping and starting the client
• Zephyr: Fix up to 10 second delay when stopping client
• Zephyr: Fixed hang when attempting to stop an already stopped client
• Fixed dropped function call when assert() is disabled
• Return error instead of crashing on NULL input

v0.12.1

Added:

• ESP-IDF: added ability to send native logging system messages to the
  Golioth remote logging service.

Changed:

• OTA firmware update observation will retry multiple times when failing
  to register.
• Status added to the CoAP request struct for passing error codes.

Fixed:

• Zephyr: correctly handle the client connection stop command.
• Zephyr: reestablish observations after reconnect.

v0.12.0

Breaking Changes:

• Previously, it was possible to implicitly include default Kconfig
  settings from the Zephyr examples into client applications. This was
  unintentional and has been fixed. As a result, if your application was
  relying on those defaults, you'll now need to set those Kconfig values
  explicitly in your application.

Added:

• Add socket hello_nrf91_offload Zephyr example to demonstrate DTLS
  sockets offload.
• Zephyr: add rak5010_nrf52840 support to all examples
• ESP-IDF: add fw_update example to demonstrate OTA firmware update
• ESP-IDF: add settings example to demonstrate device settings service

Changed:

• Zephyr: example code now explicitly sources Kconfig.defconfig file to
  select necessary Kconfig symbols from the example common files.
• Zephyr: update runtime settings in examples to take effect without
  needing a reboot
• Update libcoap version to v4.3.4a

Fixed:

• Documentation updates
• Certificate Provisioning: Increase nRF52840 network buffers to avoid
  failing handshakes

v0.11.1

Known Issues:

• Default Kconfig values may not propagate correctly if the Golioth SDK
  is not listed first in the West manifest. To workaround this, ensure
  that Golioth is listed first in your application's manifest.

Added:

• CONFIG_GOLIOTH_RPC_MAX_RESPONSE_LEN to control the size of the buffer
  used to hold the RPC response

Changed:

• Improved how the Golioth Zephyr log backend handles network disconnects
  to avoid interfering with the application's control of logging levels
• Removed default dependency on floating point support

Fixed:

• Enable log shell commands in Zephyr Certificate Provisioning example
• Build error when compiling with NCS and without newlib
• Correctly handle TOO_MANY_REQUESTS responses from the server in NCS

Release 0.11.0

Highlights

• Zephyr port updated to Zephyr v3.6
• NCS port updated to NCS v2.5.2
• ESP-IDF port updated to ESP-IDF v5.2.1
• New examples for ESP-IDF
• Initial support for native_sim target in Zephyr

Added:

• New examples for ESP-IDF: hello, rpc, lightdb state
• Additional hardware-in-the-loop integration tests
• west patch command for applying git patches
• native_sim support (requires patches on top of Zephyr v3.6)
• nRF91 LTE monitor log level is now configurable
• Zephyr console now returns an error when attempting to store a PSK-ID
  or PSK that is too long

Changed:

• Improved NACK handling during initial connection
• OTA module now decodes all items in a manifest
• RPC returns NOT_FOUND instead of UNKNOWN when receiving an RPC
  for an unregistered method
• Improved and clarified documentation
• Improved and stablized HIL test infrastructure
• Documentation updated to reflect change from Device Name to Certificate
  ID in device certificates

Removed:

• Individual type functions for Stream service
• Zephyr port no longer depends on CONFIG_POSIX_API

Fixed:

• Fixed range checking for int type settings
• Fixed incorrect error code for receiving an unknown setting
• Fixed crash when disabling Zephyr log backend
• Fixed buffer allocation failures on nRF52840DK
• Fixed free() of unallocated buffer
• Zephyr CoAP client was not notifying port layer of disconnections
• Some kconfig settings had no effect in the ESP-IDF port
• Some kconfig options could not be overriden in the Zephyr port

Release 0.10.0

Highlights

• The Zephyr CoAP library is now used instead of libcoap for Zephyr ports
• Zephyr ports can specify a TLS credential tag to use for authentication,
  in particular this will enable the use of offloaded DTLS sockets.

Breaking Changes

• Remove golioth_ prefix from filenames and move header files under
  golioth/ folder.
• Remove golioth.h header - users must now include individual headers
  for each service that they use.
• Stream and State: change json and cbor object set calls to specify
  type in the parameters (instead of separate function calls).
• RPC: This service must now be initialized prior to use by calling
  golioth_rpc_init(client);
• Settings: This service must now be initialzied prior to use by calling
  golioth_settings_init(client);
• Services (e.g. stream, fw_update, etc.) are disabled by default - be
  sure to enable them in your project configuration.
• Typedefs have been removed throughout the codebase - instead use the
  underlying struct or enum types
• Remove lightdb_ from lightdb_stream functions to differentiate from LIghtDB State

Added:

• Automated Hardware-in-the-Loop test framework
• Basic cross-platform connection HIL test
• Tests for all Zephyr examples
• Add kconfig option for default log level for SDK logs
• Lightb State examples now show how to use CBOR

Changed:

• Improved network connection management
• Wait for network traffic and request queue concurrently - this
  removes the need to wakeup every 1 second to check for requests
• Pass structs by reference instead of value in golioth_sys_* APIs
• Use bool instead of int for binary Kconfig options
• Improved organization of Kconfig options
• ESP-IDF examples use FreeRTOS APIs directly instead of Golioth
  abstractions
• LightDB State and Stream are now separate services in the SDK
• DFU example has been renamed to fw_update
• Use golioth_content_type enum instead of libcoap content types

Removed:

• Magtag demo for ESP-IDF - this hardware is out of stock
• Golioth time module - this was a thin wrapper around golioth_sys
• golioth_statistics module - this internal memory tracking module
  is being replaced by out-of-source tooling
• remote_shell - This was an experimental feature that was never
  released. If you are interested in remote shell functionality in
  the future, please reach out to Golioth!
• Integration guide - see docs.golioth.io for the latest documentation
  on integration Golioth into your product

Fixed:

• Various documentation fixes
• Removed double check for CONFIG_GOLIOTH_SAMPLE_COMMON
• Fix stack overflow in logging thread
• Drop logs with unsupported log levels
• Attempting to use a disabled service now fails at build time instead
  of at run time
