GPX Tracker Plugin v1.1.0

⚠ Upcoming Breaking Change
Starting with the next version, you’ll need to explicitly configure tracked devices. For now, the plugin defaults to logging all devices (allowed_device_ids: ["*"]) for compatibility, but this will change in future releases.

• What changed?

  • In the previous release, all devices in the network were tracked by default as no filtering mechanism existed.
  • Now, users must define allowed_device_ids in the configuration file to specify which devices should be logged.

• Impact on existing users:

  • Users who update to this version without modifying their configuration file will find that no data is being logged unless allowed_device_ids is defined.

• Action required:

  • Update your configuration file to include the allowed_device_ids option with the IDs of the devices you want to track.
