v5.3.0
OpenC3 COSMOS 5.3.0 - Modern, Production Ready, Command and Control
Welcome to OpenC3 COSMOS 5.3.0!
New Secrets Framework
COSMOS now contains a modular framework for interfacing with different Secrets management frameworks. This first release stores secrets into Redis, and they can be retrieved as needed by Interfaces and other Microservices. Kubernetes secrets support coming soon in COSMOS Enterprise Edition.
MQTT Interface
Added a new interface to support the MQTT message bus. Packets can be associated with MQTT topics by adding META TOPIC topicname to packet definitions. This allows for easy integration with MQTT.
Interface and Protocol Commands
The Interface and Protocol base classes now support an interface_cmd and protocol_cmd method respectively. This provides a framework for defining interface and protocol level APIs without having to define TARGETS that are handled by the Interface internally. Usage examples coming soon. Possible use cases include things like reseting interfaces without a connect/disconnect cycle, commands to support key management, and changing internal protocol settings during runtime.
Other Highlighted Improvements In This Release
- Overriding telemetry now works without needing the OverrideProtocol
- BLOCK data can now be properly displayed in PacketViewer
- Dependency updates
Key Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue when trying to identify and define packets when streaming raw packet through the StreamingApi
