Upgrading ThingsBoard CE to latest 4.3.x (4.3.1)
NOTE:
These upgrade steps are applicable for ThingsBoard version 4.2.1+. In order to upgrade to 4.3.1 you need to upgrade to 4.2.1.x first.
This release includes a framework upgrade (Angular 18 → 20). The core platform remains fully backward compatible and no upgrade scripts are required. However, custom UI code (widgets or custom CSS) that relies on internal component structure or CSS variable names may break. This can affect up to ~1% of users with heavy customizations. We recommend testing custom UI in a staging environment before upgrading.
