The HiveMQ team is pleased to announce the availability of HiveMQ MQTT Client 1.1.

This feature release comes with the following improvements:

New features

  • Reconnect Handling:
    • Automatic reconnect with exponential backoff strategy and random delays
    • Customizable reconnect handling: customizable delay, connect message and transport configuration
    • Message redelivery: pending and queued publish, subscribe and unsubscribe messages are resent after reconnect
  • Lifecycle listeners:
    • Connected listeners that are notified when the client is connected
    • Disconnected listeners that are notified when the client is disconnected
  • Reusable authentication/authorization related data, as well as Will publish values can now be set on the client. They will be reused if the client reconnects.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed mixed ordering of messages when publishing in a very high rate with the AsyncClient
