Releases: FIWARE/context.Orion-LD
Orion-LD v1.7.1
Bugfix release 1.7.1
The recent 1.7.0 introduced native DDS in Otrion-LD.
Unfortunately, two mayor concepts were not working properly, for entity updates coming in via DDS, namely:
- notifications were not sent
- the updates were not persisted in the history (postgres)
These two errors are fixed in 1.7.1
Other Issues:
#1698: Not fixed, but making it usable. Real fix coming. Needs a complete rewrite.
#1704: Problem when the number of tenants is bigger than the size of the mongo connection pool
#1715: Bug in subscription cache: attributes in notification::attributes were not longnames after a restart with subscriptions in the DB
Orion-LD v1.7.0
The main new feature of Orion-LD 1.7.0 is the ability to natively receive "notifications" via FastDDS.
In 3-6 months, Orion-LD will also be able to natively push to DDS.
DDS samples (published on a topic) are considered NGSI-LD attributes and to translate a DDS topic info NGSI-LD Attribute Name, Entity ID and Entity Type, a configuration file needs to be filled in. See #1696 for more information.
New Features:
- Native support for read-only DDS (off by default - to activate use CLI:
-wip dds
) - see issue #1696 - Distributed subscriptions: subordinate subscriptions are DELETED when their "father" is deleted.
- Support for the URL parameter 'csf' in GET /ngsi-ld/v1/csourceRegistrations
- Support for the URL parameter 'orderBy=attrName' in GET
/ngsi-ld/v1/entities
, but only if 'local=true' is set. (This is not NGSI-LD standard. Yet ...)- Also supporting sorting on entity id, type, and modifiedAt
- One more URL parameter '?reverse=true' to reverse the sorting order
- This was later slightly modified and standardized in ETSI ISG CIM and will be part of v1.89.1 of the NGSI-.LD API spec.
- Support for GET /ngsi-ld/v1/info/sourceIdentity
- Support for management::localOnly in registrations
- Support for new CLI parameter '-pageSize' to set the default pagination limit (default is 20 if -pageSize is not used)
Fixed Issues:
#1621: URL-Encoding single quote in attribute values in TRoE DB
#1649: Crash when using subscriptions in a mixed environment (LD and V2)
#1682: Default User Context
#1688: Forward of idPattern URL parameter
Orion-LD v1.6.0
Fixed Issues:
- #1535: Ignore Subscription::q when matching subscriptions for deletion of an entity
- #1542: Array Reduction (arrays of one single element are "flattened" to that very element)
- #1551: format=simplified for distribute GET /entities gave Normalized for entities from other brokers
- #1557: Cannot count entities if geo query with $near - mongodb doesn't allow it
- #1573: pagination not working when entities have the exact same creation date (sort also by entity id)
- #1583: If a 'q' contains an ampersand, that ampersand needs to be forwarded as a semicolon
- #1593: Modify the type of an entity in a Replace operation (only working in legacy mode)
- #1612: Support for ISO8601 timezones expressed in +/- HH:mm in 'q' for entity query
- #1615: Crash in HTTPS notifications with a notification endpoint with empty URL PATH
- SOF: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77911109/fiware-to-payload-too-large
- Fixed a possible crash for TRoE and attributes of type Vocab/Json/Language
- Forbidden to DELETE the Core Context !!! (it can be reloaded)
- Bug fix: JSON NULL literal is no longer forwarded!
- Improved treatment of malfunctioning notification receivers, on timeout (for clients that don't respond to notifications)
- Core context added to response if @context in payload body (Accept: application/ld+json)
New Features:
- Support for attributes of type VocabularyProperty
- Support for attributes of type JsonProperty
- Support for the new URL parameter "format" for output formats (normalized, concise, simplified)
- New service: DELETE /ngsi-ld/v1/entities (support for URL param 'type' only - the rest of the options are still missing)
- First draft of Distributed Subscriptions
Notes
- TRoE is still not prepared for attributes of type Vocab/Json/Language, so, attributes of those types are not stored in the historical database
- Improved the @context hosting feature to be according to API spec
Orion-LD version 1.5.1
Orion-LD version 1.5.0
Distributed GET /entities
The main new feature of v1.5.0 is "Distributed GET /entities", using the new concept of "Entity Maps", which is a part of the additions in the 1.8.1 version of the NGSI-LD spec about to be published (some time in January 2024).
It is still a work in progress but mostly working, though it is not 100% spec compliant.
To try it out, start Orion-LD with the CLI option -wip entityMaps
(and -distributed
to turn on distributed operations).
Bug fixes since v1.4.0:
- #1419 - Fixed a bug in the cleanup of the "URL being downloaded list" - not being cleaned up in case of an error
- #1427 - Disabling the keep-alive as it seems to be missing in libpaho
- #1456 - Entity id+type duplicated in forwarded request of "Create Entity"
- #1458 - Supporting system timestamps (createdAt/modifiedAt) in q
- #1451 - Bug fix - removed a trailing ampersand from the URI for the connection to mongodb
- #1418 - Performance - Faster startup when there are GeoProperties in the database
- #1478 - Fixed an issue about PATCH on non-existent entity in federation giving a 204 instead of a 404
- #1479 - Fixed problem with "operations" in registrations
- #1496 - Fixed a crash - a double free()
Other additions from the backlog:
- Added extensive logging for downloading of contexts
- Better 501 handling of temporal operations
- Changed all error codes from InvalidRequest to BadRequestData, except for JSON Parse Error that is still an InvalidRequest
- Fixed a bug in error detection of downloading errors in arrays of contexts, at lower nesting levels
- Fixed a crash in the subscription cache for subscriptions with empty URL paths in the notification::endpoint::uri field
- Fixed two erroneous type values in the response payload body (EntityTypeInformation => EntityTypeInfo and EntityAttributeList => AttributeList)
- Giving errors for expiresAt in the past (for registrations and subscriptions)
- Highly experimental feature for subscriptions: allowing a wildcard as value for entity type, to not filter on entity type
- Support for 'Periodic Notifications' (subscriptions with a 'timeInterval')
- New CLI (hidden) for extra field in notifications (trigger: "VERB URL PATH"): -triggerOperation
- Using Via header for loop detection (includes a new field 'hostAlias' in the registrations)
Use the new CLI parameter-brokerId
to set the identifier of the Orion-LD instance (same value as "hostAlias" in registrations for it to work) - Fixed a bug in the lookup of pernot subscriptions
Orion-LD version 1.4.0
Main additions/fixes since v1.3.0:
- Protection for POST /temporal/entities against usage when troe is not enabled.
- Support for different core contexts via CLI parameter
-coreContext <v1.0|v1.3|v1.4|v1.5|v1.6|v1.7>
(v1.6 is default). - Re-implemented the propagation of subscriptions between brokers in HA (sub-cache synchronization).
- Fixed a stupid bug in the size of the postgres connection pool (a hardcoded size of 10 connections, instead of using the variable tied to the CLI option
-troePoolSize
, meant for this!!!). - Issue #1412: Health check for Postgres connections (external contribution by cfreyth, thank you very much!).
