Malcolm v23.05.0

on GitHub

Malcolm v23.05.0 is a major release with new features, enhancements, component version updates and bug fixes.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Malcolm v23.05.0 has completely changed the way it manages its settings: rather than using environment variables found at the top of the docker-compose.yml file, it uses environment variables in .env files inside of the config directory. The locations of a number of configuration files have also changed. It's not recommended to update to Malcolm v23.05.0 from a previous version of Malcolm. Instead, shut down Malcolm, rename your old Malcolm installation directory to something else, and reconfigure Malcolm using ./scripts/configure and ./scripts/auth_setup.
