[announcement] LoRa Server v3.0.0 - test release

LoRa Server v3.0.0-test.1

Features

Improvements

Legacy code removed

Legacy code related to older gateway structures have been removed. All gateway messages are now based on the Protobuf messages.

MQTT topic refactor

Previously, each topic was configured separatly. To be consistent with LoRa Gateway Bridge v3, this has been re-factored into “events” and “commands”.

Upgrading

LoRa Server v3 depends on LoRa Gateway Bridge v3! It is recommended to upgrade to
the latest LoRa Server v2 release (which is forwards compatible with the LoRa Gateway Bridge v3), upgrade all LoRa Gateway Bridge installations to v3 and then upgrade LoRa Server to v3.

It is also recommended to update your LoRa Server configuration file. See Configuration for more information.
