Signal K Server version 2.8.0
- https://github.com/SignalK/signalk-server/releases/tag/v2.8.0
- the main new feature is the ability to add & edit metadata: add units, displayName etc
- zones handling is now built in to the server: notifications are raised based on zone definitions in metadata. If you have zone definitions in the zones plugin you need to eventually move them over to the server's configuration, as new installations will not have zones plugin
