ESA NanoSat MO Framework - Release Notes

These Release Notes include a short summary of the updates done for each version. The different versions and respective updates are the following:

Upgrades to CCSDS MO services v14.2
Adds the Swarms mission: a constellation of NMF satellites
Adds the Raspberry Pi mission: merging its separate repository into the main one
Splits the spacecraft simulator into two missions, simulator-lite (analytic orbit) and simulator-orekit (Orekit-propagated)
Adds a Celestia visualisation of the simulated spacecraft: live position and attitude, NASA Earth textures, and a whole constellation in one window
Ships the NMF core software baseline as an NMF Package
Generates the space filesystem of every mission in the repository through the filesystem generator
Renames the Parameters, Actions and Alerts to the dotted lowercase convention
Completes the Javadoc of the public API, the core services, the Consumer Test Tool, the CLI tool and the example apps
Binds each App's own storage directory in the bubblewrap and Docker isolation modes, and detects BusyBox when setting up linux-userspace isolation
CTT: Adds direct button to connect to a running App from the Apps Launcher service
Removes the SFTP browser and the SSH client from the Consumer Test Tool
Removes the commons-exec dependency
Adds testbeds for the framework upgrade and rollback path
Fixes many smaller defects: files left open after being written, Delete in the Consumer Test Tool not reaching the COM Archive, separators lost from dumped values, and dead code throughout

Simplifies the APIs, especially the M&C (removal of the identity model and removal of the concept of Groups)
Adds the nmf-mission-barebone for simple testing
Merges all NMF Composites into one single project
Migrates all COM timestamps from FineTime to Time (millisecond precision)
Merges the Common services (Directory, Login) into the COM, removing the separate Common area
Removes the ActivityTracking service from COM; action execution progress is now tracked via the Action service's monitorExecution PUB-SUB operation and ExecutionStatus COM objects
Adds the NMF Bootloader: a primary → secondary → factory baseline fallback ladder with integrity checks
Adds a Docker image build for the barebone mission
Upgrades to CCSDS MO services v14.1
Merges all service implementations (COM, MC, SM, Platform) and the environment helpers into a single nmf-services-impl module
Adds app isolation modes: none, linux-userspace, bubblewrap, and docker-containers
Adds a comprehensive testbed suite (MC/COM area, end-to-end, performance)
Reworks the app lifecycle: AppStarted/AppStopped COM objects and monitorEvents replace COM Events
Replaces the Clock Platform service with a Heartbeat getTime operation
Adds live command output streaming to the CommandExecutor service (monitorOutput PUB-SUB)
