This is the second patch release for 4.2. It greatly improves the ingest speed for DART (100x), improves decom speed, reduces database size, and fixes some bugs. If you are using DART, please upgrade and follow the migration directions at the end of these release notes.

The highlight of COSMOS 4.2 is a new tool called the Data Archival and Retrieval Tool (DART). DART is a long term trending database built on top of the PostgreSql database. It integrates directly with TlmGrapher, TlmExtractor, CmdExtractor, DataViewer, and Replay, allowing you to do historical queries of logged telemetry (and commands) by specifying a time range. Queries are super fast and it performs automatic data reduction at minute/hour/day granularity. Consider setting it up for your project and start data mining today!
