[release] ChirpStack v4.3 test releases

Announcements
1

v4.3.0-test.2

Features

C# SDK

This adds support for generating C# API code. (#100)

Multicast improvements

Add gateways to multicast-group

This makes it possible to explicitly define which gateways will be used for a given multicast-group. In the gateways overview it is possible to select one or multiple gateways and then add these gateways to a multicast-group.

Multicast scheduling option

This moves the multicast scheduling configuration to the multicast-group configuration from the chirpstack.toml configuration file. Scheduling options include scheduling based on GPS time or delay based.

Split private gateways in private uplink and downlink

This makes it possible to define per tenant if and how gateways can be used by other tenants. For example in case downlink is set to private, other tenants will benefit from uplinks received by these gateways, but they will not be able to send downlinks (ChirpStack will filter these gateways out when selecting the gateway for scheduling the downlink).

Improvements

  • Implement get_downlink_data_delay setting.
  • Update internal dependencies.
  • Add missing fPort validation to avoid enqueue on fPort=0.
  • Do not overwrite RxInfo location field with gateway location if it is already set.
  • Do not log stats handling NotFound errors if allow_unknown_gateways is configured.

Bugfixes

  • Fix /api/multcast-groups/... > /api/multicast-groups/... typo in enqueue API URL.
  • Fix gateway_id is missing errors (in case the uplink was also received by an unknown gateway).
  • Fix region configuration defaults + use region id as fallback for description if the latter is missing. (#120)
  • Fix API authorization for listing ADR algorithms. (#112)
  • Fix US915 downlink channel min_dr configuration. (#115)
  • Fix incorrect rendering of integration.mqtt.client.ca_key and .ca_cert in config template. (#124)
  • Remove tls_enabled config option as it is not actually implemented. (#128)

Testing

Debian

Use the testing channel instead of stable:

sudo echo "deb https://artifacts.chirpstack.io/packages/4.x/deb testing main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chirpstack.list

Docker

Use the chirpstack/chirpstack:4.3.0-test.2 image and tag.
