Archived changelogs by year

May 11, 2023​

This section lists changes deployed on May 11, 2023.

New features​

New device alerts and logs feature in both the nRF Cloud portal and APIs.

In the nRF Cloud portal:

  • Added the Logs card to device pages. Log messages from supported device firmware are visible from this card.
  • Added the Alerts page to show all active and archived alerts associated with a team's devices.
  • The Devices page shows which devices have active alerts.

In the nRF Cloud APIs:

Enhancements​

In the nRF Cloud portal:

  • The Terminal card on device pages now shows raw messages and metadata.

In the nRF Cloud APIs:

  • The FetchDevice endpoint supports both an API key or JWT for authentication.

Bug fixes​

In the nRF Cloud portal:

  • Fixed an issue where the terminal card historical data download did not show any data.
  • Improved error message when cancelling an already-accepted invite.
  • Fixed metadata from location requests when downloading data to a CSV file.
  • The user's current team is retained when logging back in after logging out.

In the nRF Cloud APIs:

Documentation​

April 18, 2023​

This section lists changes deployed on April 18, 2023.

New features​

In the nRF Cloud portal:

In the APIs:

  • New REST endpoint ListDeviceTags that provides a list of device groups the user can access. This endpoint is not restricted by user role.
  • New REST endpoints to generate a service key and token for cloud-to-cloud operations.

Enhancements​

In the nRF Cloud portal:

  • Improved filtering drop-down.
  • A team owner changing a plan from Pro to Enterprise can provide additional information before upgrading.

In the APIs:

  • Added filter for location uncertainty values over 10 km. Other location service vendors will be used in those cases, to provide more accurate results.
  • Added option to silence Location Services REST API responses by adding the doReply flag to Wi-Fi, ground fix, and cellular endpoints. If doReply is set, the server responds with status code 200 and an empty message body.
  • Deprecated customTypes parameter for the GetAssistanceData endpoint. Use the types parameter instead.
    • Deprecated requestType parameter. The service infers the request type from the request data.
  • The device shadow now includes a control section as part of the trimmed shadow republished to {deviceId}/shadow/get/accepted.

Bug fixes​

In the nRF Cloud portal:

  • Fixed issue that caused invoices to default to paid status.
  • Fixed issue that hid Wi-Fi from monthly charges.
  • Fixed issue with scrolling to load devices.
  • IMEI: Device model names are now trimmed on creation, so trailing white space characters are removed. Reporting an invalid IMEI reel code now returns N/A instead of View IMEIs.
  • IMEI: Fixed error when entering a model name consisting of a white space character.
  • Fixed issue where attempting a full modem FOTA operation displayed the incorrect number of eligible devices. Added full modem to the options for FOTA, which now displays the correct number of eligible devices.
  • Fixed issue where closing the Create pop-up for Teams would not allow it to open again.
  • Fixed issue when viewing a gateway's device page, where all Bluetooth® devices displayed as connected to the gateway. Now, only devices connected to that specific gateway are displayed on the gateway's page.
  • Removed unsupported beacon device type from the Dashboard.
  • Fixed page crash when clearing date picker.
  • Fixed ID error when choosing some country names in account information.
  • Device location map now refers to GNSS instead of GPS.

In the APIs:

  • Fixed 422 failure when sending messages with the SendDeviceMessage REST endpoint to the d2c/bulk topic.
  • ListFirmware now lists all `filenames` in a bundle. Paginated responses are now correctly based on the number of bundles to return, not the number of files.
