The Minnesota release is version 3.0 (the 12th overall release and the third major release behind the Edinburgh and Ireland releases). Due to API and other tech debt changes, Minnesota is NOT backward compatible with the EdgeX 1.x or EdgeX 2.x releases. The release is not an LTS release. Jakarta (2.21) remain an LTS release.

- Upgrade to Go 1.20
- Requirements (UCR) and design (ADR) now in place for configuration via URIs. Likely to be implemented in the next minor release. Had a dependency on the Common Configuration added in this release. https://docs.edgexfoundry.org/3.0/design/ucr/URIs-for-Files/ and https://docs.edgexfoundry.org/3.0/design/adr/0027-URIs%20for%20Files/
- Requirements (UCR) in place for Bring Your Own Vault (BYOV) allowing for an environment where an existing Vault instance is not setup by EdgeX: https://docs.edgexfoundry.org/3.0/design/ucr/Bring-Your-Own-Vault/
- Requirements (UCR) in place for Core Data Retention - that is a configurable cache of data held by EdgeX: https://docs.edgexfoundry.org/3.0/design/ucr/Core-Data-Retention/
- Added a STRIDE security threat model for identifying and mitigating risks in EdgeX: https://docs.edgexfoundry.org/3.0/threat-models/stride-model/EdgeX-STRIDE
- STRIDE stands for Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information disclosure, Denial of service, Elevation of privilege
- EdgeX has moved its external facing chat to GitHub Discussions allowing for communication to be better kept, searched and tagged (compared to the EdgeX slack channels). We are seeing multiple community discussions started each day on GitHub
- DevOps team has now embedded the Swagger API docs into the main EdgeX docs tree, e.g., https://docs.edgexfoundry.org/3.0/api/core/Ch-APICoreData/

- This issue is fixed in v3.1.
- The start time and end time fields of the Interval object in the Support Scheduler service always use UTC to run scheduling: https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-go/issues/4594, but they should use the local timezone of the host system.

- App Service Configurable's external-mqtt-trigger profile is missing InsecureSecrets section for MQTT. https://github.com/edgexfoundry/app-service-configurable/issues/578
- Work around it to add the InsecureSecrets section manually and set SecretName properly as is done in this fix for Napa. https://github.com/edgexfoundry/app-service-configurable/pull/579/files
- This can be done in the configuration.yaml and rebuild docker image or in Consul once service has started.
