Ekuiper

eKuiper 1.7.1 is a maintainance version that fixes several issues and add some properties to stabilize the product.
For EdgeX, it supports nats message bus by default. For time window function, will always triggered by time even no events incoming.
For docker images, the tag `1.7.1` is set to `alpine` image and previous development docker image is set to `1.7.1-dev`. It also includes fixing for connectionSelector regression problem and other bugs fixes.

**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper/compare/1.7.0...1.7.1

Overview

eKuiper 1.7.0 continue to improve the expressiveness of the rules by providing lookup table, updatable sink, more SQL syntax and functions. We also enrich the sources/sinks and adapt them to the new runtimes. Moreover, we improve the usability by refactoring the connection configure APIs to unify the configuration of source/sink and do connection testing when editing the configurations. We have made the etc folder readonly so that it is easier to deploy eKuiper by Kubernetes. At the same time, ruleset can import/export now and provision at startup to help migration of eKuiper instance. Please check the full change list below.

Most importantly, fix the instability connection issue with neuron, now neuron do not need to start before eKuiper.
For eKuiper cannot run directly in old linux distribution(ubuntu-18.04 centos-7) because of glibc compatibility issue,
now build eKuiper using old glibc. For the prebuilt native plugins, now they can run in alpine docker images. For documents, provide
protobuf tutorial, upload management api and correct outdated message.

**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper/compare/1.6.0...1.6.1

Overview

eKuiper 1.6.0 provides graph API as an alternative way to create rule in addition to SQL. It is friendly as the backend for a drag and drop UI and also more expressive then SQL. Beside this, we also highlight on enhancing SQL by adding more expressions and functions; on enhancing external connection by supporting protobuf format and enhancing various source/sink.

Incompatible changes

During rework of sink cache mechanism, we delete some properties from `etc/kuiper.yaml` and sink properties. Please update your rules which are dependant of these properties and try to migrate to the [new properties](https://ekuiper.org/docs/en/latest/rules/sinks/overview.html#configuration).

Remove from `etc/kuiper.yaml`: cacheThreshold, cacheTriggerCount, disableCache
Remove from sink properties: retryInterval, retryCount, cacheLength, cacheSaveInterval
