Nov 1, 2025

November 2025 performance-focused milestone across ThingsBoard Gateway. The team delivered meaningful performance and reliability enhancements across core connectors and the client SDK. The Modbus connector now supports batch reads across wide address ranges with an asyncio-based refactor, delivering higher throughput and robust data validation. MQTT RPC reliability improved under high load with enhanced exception handling and logging, reducing failure rates in peak demand. The FTP connector gained clearer processing logs and data integrity checks (size and hash validations). A proprietary BACnet extension was added to broaden device interoperability. The tb-mqtt-client SDK was upgraded and the release version bumped to reflect compatibility and new features, and the API surface was streamlined by removing the legacy wait_for_publish argument from send_telemetry and send_attributes. These changes collectively enhance throughput, reliability, observability, and API cleanliness, delivering tangible business value such as faster data ingestion, more predictable RPC behavior, and stronger data integrity across deployments.
