This is a bugfix release.

Compatibility

The most recent version of libwebsockets (3.2.0) changed its behaviour and is not compatible with Mosquitto. This has been fixed for the next libwebsockets release. The 1.6.5 release refuses to compile with libwebsockets 3.2.0. All previous versions of Mosquitto that use websockets are affected by the change in behaviour.
