1.1.0-rc6

This release upgrades Grafana to v11.

DO NOT UPGRADE TO THIS RELEASE UNLESS YOU HAVE FIXED YOUR GRAFANA ALERTS:

WARNING: Grafana v11 removes support for "legacy alerting". If you are using alerting,
it's likely that it is of the legacy variety. GRAFANA v11 WILL NOT EVEN START IF YOU HAVE LEGACY
ALERTS DEFINED.

To handle this:

1. If you haven't yet done this, upgrade to CHORDS v1.1.0-rc5. This will upgrade to Grafana v10.
2. Change your alerts to the newer method, or just delete them entirely.
3. Then upgrade to CHORDS v1.1.0-rc6.

You can read more about this situation in the Grafana release notes.

Full Changelog: 1.1.0-rc4...1.1.0-rc5

1.1.0-rc4

Release Notes:

• Fixed more bugs in the Live Chart
• Fixed git URL reference in chords_control

Installation Notes:

• chords_control: Docker Hub introduced a breaking change to its API. To work around this, you need to download the current chords_control script:

curl -O -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/earthcubeprojects-chords/chords/1.1.0-rc4/chords_control

• Python sh: The python sh module, used by chords_control, introduced a breaking change in version 2. If your version was
  automatically updated, it will break chords_control. Use pip to check on the version, and downgrade if necessary:

pip3 show sh        
Name: sh
Version: 2.0.0
...

pip3 install sh==1.14.3
...
Successfully installed sh-1.14.3

1.1.0-rc3

Release Notes:

• Many Rails security updates.
• Bugs fixed in the instrument live chart.
• Status icons on the map display now ignore inactive instruments.
• chords_control script fixed to handle a breaking change in the Docker Hub API. This
  requires a manual download of the chords_control script from GitHub, since you won't be able
  to run the old one with the --renew option.
