HiveMQ 1.4.1 released

We are pleased to announce the release of HiveMQ 1.4.1! This is a minor feature release and brings an update check mechanism and improvements in the Graphite integration.

Update Check

HiveMQ now automatically checks for updates on startup and once a day to ensure you don’t miss any important bugfix releases. This feature is enabled by default but can be disabled if you don’t need this feature. You can enable or disable this feature in the configuration.properties by setting the property global.checkForUpdates.

Graphite Prefixes

Many users requested a simple way to configure prefixes to use hosted Graphite solutions. This is perfect if you want to prefix an API Key of your Graphite hosting provider or if you want to distinguish HiveMQ cluster nodes from each other easily. The prefix can be configured via the property graphite.metricPrefix in you configuration.properties file.

Documentation update

We updated the documentation and added a chapter about running HiveMQ on different cloud providers like Amazon EC2 or Microsoft Windows Azure. Check it out if you want to run HiveMQ on a pay-as-you-go cloud solution.
