Broker

• The broker no longer ignores the auth_plugin_init() return value.
• Accept SSLv2/SSLv3 HELLOs when using TLSv1, whilst keeping SSLv2 and SSLv3 disabled. This increases client compatibility without sacrificing security.
• The $SYS tree can now be disabled at runtime as well as at compile time.
• When remapping bridged topics, only check for matches when the message direction is correct. This allows two identical topics to be remapped differently for both in and out.
• Change $SYS/broker/heap/current size to $SYS/broker/heap/current for easier parsing.
• Change $SYS/broker/heap/maximum size to $SYS/broker/heap/maximum for easier parsing.
• Topics are no longer normalised from e.g a///topic to a/topic. This matches the behaviour as clarified by the Oasis MQTT spec. This will lead to unexpected behaviour if you were using topics of this form.
• Log when outgoing messages for a client begin to drop off the end of the queue.
• Bridge clients are recognised as bridges even after reloading from persistence.
• Basic support for MQTT v3.1.1. This does not include being able to bridge to an MQTT v3.1.1 broker.
• Username is displayed in log if present when a client connects.
• Support for 0 length client ids (v3.1.1 only) that result in automatically generated client ids on the broker (see option allow_zero_length_clientid).
• Ability to set the prefix of automatically generated client ids (see option auto_id_prefix).
• Add support for TLS session resumption.
• When using TLS, the server now chooses the cipher to use when negotiating with the client.
• Weak TLS ciphers are now disabled by default.

Client library

• Fix support for Python 2.6, 3.0, 3.1.
• Add support for un/subscribing to multiple topics at once in un/subscribe().
• Clients now close their socket after sending DISCONNECT.
• Python client now contains its version number.
• C library mosquitto_want_write() now supports TLS clients.
• Fix possible memory leak in C/C++ library when communicating with a broker that doesn't follow the spec.
• Return strerror() through mosquitto_strerror() to make error printing easier.
• Topics are no longer normalised from e.g a///topic to a/topic. This matches the behaviour as clarified by the Oasis MQTT spec. This will lead to unexpected behaviour if you were using topics of this form.
• Add support for SRV lookups.
• Break out of select() on publish(), subscribe() etc. when using the threaded interface. Fixes bug #1270062.
• Handle incoming and outgoing messages separately. Fixes bug #1263172.
• Don't terminate threads on mosquitto_destroy() when a client is not using the threaded interface but does use their own thread. Fixes bug #1291473.

Clients

• Add --ciphers to allow specifying which TLS ciphers to support.
• Add support for SRV lookups.
• Add -N to sub client to suppress printing of EOL after the payload.
• Add -T to sub client to suppress printing of a topic hierarchy.
