HiveMQ Community Edition 2020.5 is released

The HiveMQ team is pleased to announce the availability of HiveMQ CE 2020.5.

This feature release provides plenty of great new features and improvements:

🌟 Features

• Embedded API for extension which allows you to load a HiveMQ extension directly from any Java application

✨ Improvements

• Sending more DISCONNECT and CONNACK reason codes and reason strings
• Listeners accept connections only after all extension start methods have completed before

🐞 Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where sending of queued messages to subscribers in a shared subscription could be discontinued
• MQTT 3.x clients are now not allowed to connect with an empty client identifier if this is disallowed in the HiveMQ config
• Ensure that negative CONNACKs are always sent when a connection is refused
• The configured max-keep-alive is now correctly used if the client specifies a greater keep alive value
• The configured max-topic-length is now correctly enforced
• Retained messages with a child level topic now correctly match multi-level wildcard subscriptions

ℹ️ Misc

• Added javadoc badge to the GitHub readme so you can find the javadoc easier
