Project Updates
NervesHub v2.1.0
The Extensions mechanism for Health reporting and Geo-location has finally landed.
The release notes have a small write-up and detail on all the bug fixes and changes.
Nerves system update write-up
Frank posted about the Nerves systems on the forum and it includes some good detail.
Other updates
This is a security/bug fix update for 1.29.1.
Package updates
Changes
- Added tpm2-tss-engine and updated tpm2-tss to enable TPM use with Nerves. Patches are here until included with Buildroot. Thanks to @abelino and @amclain.
New feature
- Added :event_transformer option that takes a function to transform a PropertyTable.Event.t() into a custom data structure for subscribers. This lets users abstract away the use of PropertyTable.
Fixes
- The :previous_timestamp field in change events had been set to nil when no information was known about the previous state of the property. It’s now set to the PropertyTable‘s start time to fix the typespec violation (nil wasn’t valid) and help differentiate unknown properties due to app restarts vs. not being set.
- Properties set at initialization, including restored ones, all have the same timestamp.
Nerves Meetup
Join the group on Meetup to be notified about the next event. One just happened and I suppose there might be winter break?
NervesConf EU?
Yet to be announced but there are plans for a NervesConf EU. It would be very helpful if your respond to this email with people in the EU we should tap for talks or if your company wants to show up for that conference.
