Changes

Backward incompatible changes

• REST APIs are enabled by default. You can disable them by setting
  OPENWISP_FIRMWARE_UPGRADER_API to False.
• Changed REST API prefix from /upgrader/ to /firmware-upgrader/.
  This makes it consistent with REST API endpoints of other modules

Dependencies

• Dropped support for Python 3.6
• Dropped support for Django 2.2
• Added support for Python 3.8 and 3.9
• Added support for Django 3.2 and 4.0
• Upgraded openwisp-controller to 1.0.x

Other changes

• Avoid deletion of UpgradeOperation when related
  Firmware Image is deleted
• Increased default retries in OpenWRT upgrader from
  15 to 40
• Made firmware upgrade logs translatable
• Changed the default API throttle rate from 400/hour to 1000/minute
• Added time limits to openwisp_firmware_upgrader.tasks.create_device_firmware
  and openwisp_firmware_upgrader.tasks.create_all_device_firmwares celery tasks

Bugfixes

• Fixed firmware checksum check
• Improved error handling for upgrade operations
• Remove openwisp-config persistent checksum:
  openwisp-config 0.6.0 makes the checksum persistent,
  but this causes upgraded devices to not download the configuration
  again after the upgrade, which is an issue if the configuration
  contains any file which is not stored in /etc/.
• Fixed a bug which caused Server 500 error on creating a new
  Build object if category field was left empty
• Fixed bugs in restoring deleted devices using django-reversion
• Fixed migrations referencing non-swappable OpenWISP modules
  that broke OpenWISP's extensibility

0.1.1 [2021-01-08]

• [fix] Fixed os_identifier validation bug in Build model.

0.1.0 [2020-11-27]

First release.
