Key features

Breaking Change: Set default minimum TLS version to v1.2 for security reasons on both server and client connections.

• This is a change from the previous defaults (TLS v1.0) on the server configuration and might break clients relying on older TLS versions.

• Older versions can be manually reverted on a per-plugin basis using the tls_min_version option in the plugins required.

Added new json_transformation option to the JSON serializer to transform outputted JSON

• This new option can be used to transform the JSON output using the JSONata language to accommodate for requirements on the receiver side.

• Setting can also filter and process JSON data points.

• JSONata examples and transformations
