Thingsboard IoT Gateway

Minor release of ThingsBoard IoT Gateway.

This release contains fixes:

1. File storage race condition issue, that cause situation when state file points to removed file.
2. Fixes for loggers, their displaying on UI and locally. connector.log and converter.log files are deprecated, in future release logs for each connector will be in separated file. In this release logs of connector/converter can be found in stdout (regular output in console or journalctl, docker logs, etc.) or on UI, if remote logging is enabled.
3. Minor fixes for Report Strategy feature.

Full Changelog: 3.6...3.6.1

ThingsBoard IoT Gateway

Major features:

• Added report strategy for all connectors by default - strategy is ON_RECEIVED that keeps gateway data report behaviour not changed, sendDataOnlyOnChange processing removed. By @imbeacon in #1554, by @samson0v #1576
• All converter refactored to return entities - ConvertedData, that contains TelemetryEntry and Attributes inside. Old format of data returning (in dicts is deprecated and no longer supported).

ThingsBoard IoT Gateway

Minor release of ThingsBoard IoT gateway.

This release contains:

Improvements:

1. General service improvements for remote configuration and general performance.
2. Added rate limits, they are required to avoid issues with online ThingsBoard servers. In case of using the gateway with ThingsBoard on premise installation - rate limits can be changed using TB_GW_RATE_LIMITS environment variable. You can set the value for this variable to 1000:1; 60000:60 (Number before ":" - amount of the messages, Number after ":" - time in seconds), if you are using rate limits on ThingsBoard. Otherwise you can set the value of TB_GW_RATE_LIMITS to 10000:1. Rate limits will be received automatically in future releases

Fixes:

1. Modbus connector fixes
2. OPC-UA connector fixes
3. MQTT connector fixes
4. General service fixes
