Release Major Themes
- URIs for Files
- Added support for loading EdgeX configuration files from a remote location via a URI. This includes configurations, unit of measurements, device profiles, device definitions and provision watchers
- An important benefit of this is to allow services to share more of the configuration and startup information in a single location, rather than copying and having different sources of information.
- See here for full details: https://docs.edgexfoundry.org/3.1/microservices/general/#uri-for-files
- Note that this feature is not yet available in the C Device Service SDK and is aimed for completion in the next release (Odessa)
- Common Configuration - Added support for C Device Services
- The Common Configuration pattern added in EdgeX 3.0 is now also supported in the C Device Service SDK meaning that all services now support this feature
- Major Documentation Improvements
