OpenC3 COSMOS Core 7.0.0 - The Next Generation

Welcome to OpenC3 COSMOS Core 7.0.0!

We are thrilled to announce the official release of OpenC3 COSMOS 7! This milestone represents months of intensive development, building on the foundation of v6 to deliver a faster, more scalable, and more integrated platform for command and control.

⚠️ Critical Update Note

If you are updating from a 7.0.0 Release Candidate, a full TSDB cleanup is required as table names now include the SCOPE.

  • Action: Run openc3.sh cleanup (Note: This drops all logged data!!!).
  • Alternative: Manually delete the TSDB volume via docker volume rm xxx-tsdb-v.

🚀 Headline Feature: High-Performance TSDB (QuestDB)

The core of COSMOS 7 is a brand-new Time Series Database powered by QuestDB. This transition marks a significant leap forward:

  • Speed: Data retrieval is now an order of magnitude faster.
  • Simplicity: We have removed the reducer microservices and associated data overhead.
  • Accessibility: Explore your data directly with SQL via the new TSDB Admin tab or the QuestDB console.

⚖️ License Update

We have transitioned from the AGPL to the COSMOS Builder’s License.

  • Why? To ensure better compatibility with our upcoming App Store.
  • Note: This license maintains your existing development rights but explicitly prohibits providing COSMOS as a managed or hosted service.

🛑 Breaking Changes

  • S3 Backend Migration: Migrated from MINIO to versitygw.
  • Security: Support for plaintext passwords via the API has been removed.

🛠 New Behavior & Deprecations

  • All containers have read-only file systems. This improves security across our containers.
  • Unit Handling: The WITH_UNITS type has been removed. Existing with_units APIs (e.g., tlm_with_units) are now deprecated and will return the formatted value.
  • Target Files: get_target_file now returns None/nil if a file is not found.
  • Sparse Packets: Items outside buffer bounds in undersized packets now return nil/None instead of 0. This enables better support for sparsely populated packets.
  • New keywords CMD_DECOM_RETAIN_TIME and TLM_DECOM_RETAIN_TIME

🚧 Known Issues

  • INT and UINTs larger than 64 bits are currently unsupported. This will be fixed in the next release. A workaround (and probably better design) is to declare any values greater than 64 bits as BLOCK types.
