Milestones changes

2.0​

Please note
  • N8N Module: This module will be deprecated and removed from servers where it is not in use. Integrations based on the N8N API or database will break in 2.0.
    Users are advised to migrate these integrations to custom solutions.
  • PM2 Modules: These modules will also be deprecated and removed in future major releases.
    Users should plan to migrate their PM2 modules to custom applications.

Flagship functionalities​

  • Introduced a new Unlicensed state in the 2.0 UI: When moving screens between customers or servers, no license selection is required, and screens automatically enter the "UNLICENSED" state.
    Devices in this state don’t consume a license, allowing an unlimited number of devices to be pre-configured for large projects without using up licenses until deployment.

Release cycle changes​

We have introduced different levels of maturity for our newly added functionalities:

Experimental

Something that we think is good enough to release, but we are still actively working on it. The feature might change, and these changes do not always have backwards compatibility. The goal with is to receive early feedback from users as soon as possible, and make the functionality even better. Use with caution, do not use it in a production environment, these features are for temporary exploration, use them accordingly.

Beta

Something that has been tested, discussed with users and includes requested features from partners and our end-users. Additional features may come out in the future based on more feedback, but these changes are backwards compatible. These functions can be used for more permanent showcases.

Stable

The functionality, that is used and tested by many users. It has no known issues by us. The stable version used by many users in production, bug fixes may apply, that are always backwards compatible.

Microservice​

Starting with 1.11 we are moving towards microservice based architecture

What are microservices?

Microservices are a software architecture pattern where an application is divided into smaller, independent services that can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. Each microservice focuses on a specific business capability and can communicate with other microservices through well-defined APIs.

What are the advantages of this architecture?

This approach allows for flexibility, scalability, and easier maintenance of complex systems. Microservices promote loose coupling, enabling teams to work on different services simultaneously and adopt different technologies for each service.

What that means for versioning?

Due to the independent development of microservices, we have the flexibility to release them separately from one another. This means that a specific microservice is not necessarily tied to a major editor version. Currently, as the majority of the system is not built on this architecture, we will release microservices independently, when applicable. In the future, when the system predominantly relies on this new approach, we may bundle these services together as part of a new editor version.
