The HiveMQ team is pleased to announce the availability of HiveMQ 3.1.6. This is a maintenance release and brings the following improvements:

• Fixed an issue that prevented HiveMQ to stop under rare circumstances if custom plugins throw Exceptions while bootstrapping
• Fixed the use of plugin metric annotations for classes with non-public constructors
• Fixed a build date warning when using HiveMQ as Windows Service
• Improved stability for rare edge cases that violate the protocol specification
• Fixed cosmetic errors that could occur when stopping HiveMQ under high load
• Fixed an issue that could lead to high memory usage when using the cluster and nodes join with old state
• Improved the performance when clients are subscribing to a high amount of topics in the same SUBSCRIBE message
• Silenced a cosmetic log message that occurred when a client disconnected while receiving retained messages

You can download the new HiveMQ version here.

We recommend to upgrade if you are an HiveMQ 3.1.x user.

Have a great day, The HiveMQ Team
