##	Changelog
2021-01-21 V4.2.7

* 1.Only upgraded for RAK2287, added EU433 and CN470 for RAK2287.

2020-11-25 V4.2.6

* 1.Added support for RAK7248C.
* 2.Added support for class B in global_conf.json, but it is disabled by default. When needed, you can enable it in `/opt/ttn-gateway/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/global_conf.json`.

2020-09-01 V4.2.5

* 1.Add AS920_923.
* 2.EU433 changed to 8 consecutive channels.

2020-07-20 V4.2.4

* 1.Add other region global_conf.json for RAK2287.
* 2.Modify sx1302 tx power param.
* 3.Add RAK2285 support.

2020-07-09 V4.2.3

* 1.Some naming changes.

2020-06-28 V4.2.2

* 1.Fix a display issue with gateway-config.
* 2.Delete the temperature printing of RAK2287.

2020-05-02 V4.2.1

* 1.Added support for RAK2287 spi version.

2020-02-14 V4.2.0

* 1.Added support for RAK2246 spi version.
* 2.Fix the bug that the internet cannot be accessed after ppp0 redial.
* 3.install.sh can pass --help parameter to see more installation information.
* 4.Install the latest version of chirpstack by default.
* 5.gateway-version print more information.
* 6.gateway-config and gateway-version show the actual gateway_id.
* 7.Create a rak_ap file in the /boot directory to restore to ap mode.
* 8.Modify the global_conf.json file of 7246 to make the transmit power more accurate.
* 9.When there is no match for tx power, the nearest smaller power will be used.[Semtech UDP (legacy) packet forwarder](https://github.com/Lora-net/packet_forwarder/blob/master/lora_pkt_fwd/src/lora_pkt_fwd.c#L2517-L2527) 
* 10.Delete default DNS(8.8.8.8, 223.5.5.5), the gateway will use the DNS assigned by the router to which it is connected.
