Release Major Themes

V2 APIs - all new REST endpoints using improved model objects (for request and responses) and improved API URIs,
Use of message bus between Device Services and Application Services (Core Data can also subscribe to the sensor readings or be removed if persistence is not necessary)
Improved security to include enabling the Consul API through the API Gateway, providing a common means for all services to retrieve secrets from the secret store, and a means for Consul to bootstrap with its ACL system enabled which provides for better protection of the key/value configuration.
Simplified Device Profiles
Addition of new Device Services (LLRP, GPIO, CoAP, and UART)
New Graphical User Interface
Removal of a lot of technical debt accumulated over four years (example: port assignments that align with IANA defined dynamic/private port range definition)
