Release Date: projected for November 2023
Code Freeze: TBD
Namers: Ernesto Ojeda (EdgeX Foundry DevOps Working Group lead and TSC member)
The Napa release is slated to be version 3.1 (the 13th overall release and the first dot release off EdgeX 3.0). A TSC vote is pending to make the Napa release the second long term support (LTS) release. As such, an LTS release is typically light on new features and directed to stabilization and bug fixes.
Release Major Themes (Tentative)
Planning for the Napa release is still ongoing, but tentative release features include:
- URIs for Files - using a URI to get common service settings, device profile or other configuration information from a file located at a specified URL. This will allow services to share more of the configuration and startup information.
- Complete Common Configuration - while common configuration was provided in EdgeX 3.0 (code named Minnesota), some additional elements will be added to round out and complete the functionality in this release
- Document features and designs around some upcoming release (beyond 3.1) security features to include zero trust/secure distributed service-to-service communications (currently being tested using OpenZiti), and bring-your-own-Vault (allowing adopters to use an existing Vault instance for EdgeX secrets)
- Overhaul, refactor and generally improve the EdgeX documentation
- Add a record and replay developer service to help test and exercise EdgeX with recorded sensor/device data
- Allow for the experimentation and use of NanoMQ as the MQTT broker in EdgeX.
