- Fix for LoRa Network Settings defaulted on upgrade from version <= 1.7.4.
- Fix two race conditions in LoRa Network Sever, one blocked MQTT output, the
  other would cause a crash on uplink.
- Disable Node-Red logging to /var/log/app/node-red.log, log was not rotating
  correctly causing RAM to be filled.

Known Differences since 5.0.0:
- No Known Differences.

Known Behavior in 5.0.1:
- User must be at version 1.6.4 (or newer) before upgrading to 5.0.1.
- Although not recommended, downgrading to a version before 5.0.0 will require a
  hard reset back to factory default settings.
- A Hard Reset (or Factory Default) will force 5.0.1 firmware into Commissioning
  Mode to create a new Administrative Username and Password.
- On LVW2, certain newer Verizon SIMs do not support SMS. Contact Verizon.
- On LVW2, received SMSs greater than 140 characters may be truncated to 140.
- Command AT+WS46 reverts to default after a power cycle which may affect a user
  that sets a non-default value.
- SMS Command API ignores 6 character password limit, does not fail if SMS is
  longer than 160 characters, has issues depending on location of spaces and can
  not view/delete inbox/outbox.
- Nofications API can delete existing alerts, add new alerts, modify with
  non-existing group, add two groups with same name and generate email with
  bad characters.
- DHCP API can set invalid Gateway.
- With SMS Commands, the Whitelisted numbers may need to be updated to include a +,
  a 1 or full phone number. Send a test SMS to the device to confirm.
- Version 1 API call (/api/v1/whoami) does not respond.
- Connecting OpenVPN Tunnels, user is unable to open WebUI of remote device.
- Firmware upgrade may revert LoRa Network settings to default. Network Mode set to
  Private LoRAWAN may change to Public LoRaWAN. Rx2 Datarate to 8 for 915 cards and
  0 for 868 cards. Rx1 Delay to 1. Join Delay to 1 for Private MTS or 5 for Public
  LoRaWAN. Additional Channels setting for KR920 and AS923 to 922.9 or 922.6,
  respectively. MaxEIRP and DwellTime Up/Down for AS923 to 0.
  WorkAround is to modify /var/config/db.json "__v": 1 setting in "loraNetwork"
  collection to "__v": 18 before the upgrade to avoid reverting. Otherwise modify
  the above settings after the upgrade.
- If using Remote Management and you perform a manual check in to Device HQ, your
  device may show two check in's based on your Check In Interval.
