The HiveMQ team is pleased to announce the availability of HiveMQ 4.4.1.

This maintenance release for the 4.4 series includes the following improvements:

• Increased efficiency of client event replication during a cluster topology change when numerous clients are connected to the broker.
• Improved handling of queued consumer messages after an ungraceful shutdown to ensure correct extension performance.
• Corrected an issue that could prevent proper negative CONNACK acknowledgment when the identifier of a client is not set.
• Refined process for accurate resumption of in-flight message publication to extensions after restart in a single-node deployment.
• Fixed an exceptional arithmetic condition that can intermittently throw an ArithmeticException when a message is queued for a shared subscription during a cluster merge.
• Adjusted behavior to ensure that publishing clients receive a PUBACK for all publishes during cluster topology changes.
• Fixed an issue that could prevent further publication of messages when a PublishOutBoundInterceptor is used to drop messages.
• Improved performance of clusters that undergo frequent topology changes around a consistent core.
• Resolved an issue where a low message rate could occasionally cause an extension to cease message publication.
• Improved handling of maximum keep alive for MQTT 5 clients.
• Adjusted handling of empty client IDs for MQTT 3 clients.
• Corrected enforcement of the maximum connection limit for clusters that use a CPU-based license.
• Adjusted implementation of maximum topic length to ensure correct application of the restriction.
• Fixed an issue where bridge clients did not provide correct credentials upon reconnect.
• Enhanced logging functionality in the HiveMQ Enterprise Bridge Extension.
• Fine-tuned HiveMQ startup behavior to wait for all extensions to load before accepting connections to ensure that all expected extension behavior can execute properly.
• Added small improvements in areas such as message handling to boost overall HiveMQ performance.
