BREAKING CHANGES

• Support for Node.js 10 is dropped! Supported are Node.js 12.x, 14.x and 16.x
• CLI command iob update --updateable changed to iob update --updatable
• CLI command iob update http://download.iobroker.net/sources-dist.json is not supported anymore
• CLI command iob rebuild adaptername is no longer supported because of the new way of automatic rebuilds and some unwanted side effects
• CLI command iob state get <id> will no longer handle binary state values (which was never really working before). We added iob state getBinary <id> <encoding> as new way.
• Ensure that on a backup-restore the same adapters and adapter versions are restored as existing on backup time. Also check js-controller version and error on mismatch (is allowed to be forced accepted by --force parameter for restore)
• The "file" database will be automatically converted into JSONL and the database types that use "file" are adjusted to "JSONL" on installation (and backup restore). This means that a rollback of js-controller is only possible to 3.3 after 4.0 was installed! Rollback to former versions requires a manual migration to "file" DB before the downgrade! (COMMUNICATION, TESTFOKUS)

Features

• (bluefox) Added complexity rules for user passwords: New created passwords need to follow the following rules (TODO ADMIN UI INFO ISSUE):
  • minimum length is 8
  • contains at least one digit
  • contains at least one lower case letter
  • contains at least one upper case letter
• (foxriver76) Introduce option "--custom" when deleting instances or adapter to also clean up relevant custom entries from all objects (TODO ADMIN ISSUE ADD CHECKBOX!, TESTFOKUS)
• (foxriver76) Added new host objects to provide Node.js version and PID
• (foxriver76) Updated the Linux capabilities on js-controller start when a Node.js version change was detected (and initial on first run)
• (AlCalzone/foxriver76) Further optimize strategy for required Node.js module rebuilds. We first try to run rebuild in root package and if still packages are left (or it fails) we try to rebuild the really affected modules alone. Should give better results then former strategy (TESTFOKUS)
• (bluefox) Added support for configuring multiple repositories (TODO LINK+INFO FLAG)
• (Apollon77) Streamline logging configuration for all available transports: A set Loglevel in config means that this loglevel is pinned for the transport for all cases. An Empty/not set level ("Default" in Admin) means that logging is dynamic and can be adjusted per Instance controller or loglevel state on the fly.
• (foxriver76) Added installedFrom info to adapter start log line when not installed from npm normally

Optimizations and Fixes

• (Apollon77/foxriver76) Improve performance of object deletions (also when deleting instances or adapters) significantly (file-db 4x faster, jsonl-db 14x faster, redis 360x% !! faster)
• (foxriver76/Apollon77) Improve performance for redis object searches by up to 2,5x by using lookup structures for object types and custom object properties. This optimization is only active for single host redis systems automatically, but can be activated for multihost redis systems too after all hosts are (and stay!) on js-controller 4.0! (TODO DOCS)
• (foxriver76/Apollon77) Improve performance for object searches in general by limiting search namespaces to the relevant ones automatically
• (foxriver76) Improve handling of backup restores when custom hostnames were used (especially relevant for Docker usage)
• (foxriver76) Optimize backup to make sure invalid user-generated JSONs do not prevent backups from being considered valid
• (foxriver76/klein0r) Improved CLI help
• (foxriver76) Preserve changed instance names also when updating adapter (name was reset before)
• (foxriver76) stop adapters on Windows prior update to prevent EBUSY
• (foxriver76) Prevent crashes for uploads with invalid adapter installations
• (bluefox) Removed news from instance/adapter objects on install/update because taken from repository in Admin5 (TODO CHECK ADMIN4 EFFECTS)
• (AlCalzone) Removed extraneous "npm install" inside adapter directory
• (foxriver76/AlCalzone) reduce JSONL compression frequency to reduce I/O (relevant when experimental JSONL database modules are used)
• (foxriver76) prevent uploading js-controller (creating system.adapter.js-controller object) and remove existing cases on setup first
• (foxriver76) prevent crash when multihost password is invalid and multihost active
• (bluefox/foxriver76) bigger internal refactorings in cli commands (TESTFOKUS)
• (foxriver76) made logging of not fulfilled adapter dependencies more user-friendly
• (foxriver76) Check user and group assignments and remove unknown users from groups (could have happened in earlier versions) in setup first
• (foxriver76) Prevent crash on adapter install/update if version string in repo is invalid
• (AlCalzone) Update and optimize JSONL database integration and configuration options
• (foxriver76) make sure that settings for file/JSONL DB in configfile are also respected
• (foxriver76) Update seq integration for logging
• (foxriver76) If logging can not be initialized because of a fatal error do not start js-controller
• (foxriver76) Prevent the start of a debug session for an instance that is already running
• (Apollon77) Fixed an edge case for file db which could lead to the main and backup file being broken in strange situations with multiple crashes in a row
• (foxriver76) make sure that admin, backitup and discovery instances are created when update of controller happens if installed and no instance exists
• (Apollon77) Optimize Stop Handling to prevent errors
• (Apollon77) Optimize Adapter process initialization to prevent edge case errors
• (foxriver76) Optimize meta object sync
• (Apollon77) make sure to really end CLI process when they should end in error cases
• (Apollon77) catch error when streaming data to stdout and this is closed already
• (Apollon77) Optimize some special cases on adapter start
• (AlCalzone) Prevent issues when a backup interval is configured with invalid values
• (AlCalzone) Prevent db-file-locking issues for JSONL database; the connectTimeout for databases is now minimum 5s (overrides lower values from configuration)
• (foxriver76) allow instance deletion when executed from another host
• (foxriver76) stop the database before executing upgrade self; Will be effective for all upgrades >4.0.5
• (Apollon77/foxriver76) Optimize database initialization and destroys
• (Apollon77) Update winston-syslog to prevent errors
• (Apollon77, foxriver76, bluefox, AlCalzone) Several fixes and refactorings to prevent potential crash cases reported by Sentry and other sources

Developer relevant DEPRECATIONS/WARNINGS

• js-controller is no longer installable from GitHub because it is now a monorepo. Use @dev tag on npm to get the nightly build of master js-controller!
• log info when setState is used for an object of type file - use setBinaryState instead!
• log info when the default value of an object is invalid (e.g., does not match object type)

• Enhanced object checks: adapter needs to have a name as string
• Decline calls for getForeignObjects with a non-string pattern (was pot. crashing before)
• adapter.tools is deprecated and replaced by a shim. Use methods in adapter class or adapter-core instead or open issues if you need more internal functions The object view definition "custom/state" is now removed from js-controller after being replaced by "system/custom" in js-controller 3.3. All relevant adapters are updated (COMMUNICATION)

• (AlCalzone) Introduce new methods in tools for Node.js module management: installNodeModule, uninstallNodeModule (TODO Issues adapter that use npm install -> Move))
• (bluefox) Add license management functionality to host. Adapters can use adapter.getSuitableLicenses to get available relevant licenses (TODO DOCS)

• (foxriver76) Optimize deleteDevice/deleteChannel methods to just delete all objects the relevant device/channel
• (foxriver76) Removed some magic path lookups to be compatible to npm 7/8. Appname of controller is now always "iobroker" ("ioBroker" in dev cases)
• (foxriver76) Also use Sentry (if enabled/allowed) in CLI commands whenever database is initialized to report crashes from CLI if they happen
• (foxriver76) Introduce a database protocol version number to allow detection of the available database features in multihost environments
