Release notes

2022-10-31-preview

The preview release of Azure IoT Central REST Data Plane API on October 31, 2022 delivers a series of improvements to existing endpoints and adds several new endpoints to enable the following key capabilities.

• The property query feature of the current Query API is no longer supported and has limited the rate to one request per minute.

  Note

  This feature will be removed by June 30, 2023.

• Support for creating and managing the lifecycle for 'Microsoft Edge Deployment Manifests'.

  Note

  These manifests have now been decoupled from the device templates and can be managed independently.

  Note

  This update is a breaking change behavior from the previous 2022-06-30-preview release.

• Support for a new 'iotEdge' type has been added to the 'Device' entity as a 'type: string[]'. This field enables the user to identify a device as an IoT Edge enabled device. This field is an optional type and you can continue creating and managing device instances without it.

  
  {
  
      "type": ["iotEdge"]
  
  }
  
  

• Support for a new applyDeploymentManifest route to Device. This operation enables you to associate an IoT Edge Deployment Manifest to a device instance.

• Support for new optional field readAccess to FileUpload configuration.
