What’s new in HiveMQ Edge 2025.12

HiveMQ Edge now has full reverse proxy support to enable more flexibility and scalability when deploying HiveMQ Edge, as well as enhanced security for web application access that meet more complex needs of enterprise IT methodologies.

This release also provides the capability to zip-compressed configurations Kubernetes Configmaps, ensuring complex configuration deployments don’t hit the 1MB limit set by k8s.

Reverse Proxy Support

What is it

HiveMQ Edge now supports reverse proxy requests which intercepts incoming client requests for the web application and forwards them to where Edge is actually deployed within your solution architecture. Ensuring users don’t need access to the local container or file system where HiveMQ Edge is deployed.

How does it help

• Provides more flexibility in terms of where Edge needs to be deployed and how users can access the web application.
• Enables enhanced security options with access control and IP filtering, and the ability to deploy Edge behind a Web Application Firewall to help prevent DDoS attacks.
• Provides greater performance with the ability to utilize caching and SSL acceleration through offloading the SSL termination to the proxy.

Zipped Configurations in HiveMQ Edge and the HiveMQ Edge Helm Charts

What it is

HiveMQ Edge and the HiveMQ Edge Helm chart now support ZIP-compressed and Base64-encoded configuration files through the configCompressed option.

Why it matters

Kubernetes imposes a 1MB size limit on ConfigMaps and similar resources. This enhancement enables you to compress and encode larger configuration files, such as those defining multiple protocol adapters, so they can be successfully deployed within Kubernetes environments.

Additional Improvements

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• Tag Editor: Fixed a bug causing incorrect behavior when editing tags.
• Bridge Configuration: Resolved an issue where modifying a bridge via the UI could result in a broken connection.
• UI Freezing: Redesigned the bridge configuration interface to align with other editors and fix a browser freezing issue.
• Protocol Adapter Wrapper: Addressed several race conditions to improve overall stability.
• OPC UA Monitoring: Fixed an issue where MonitoredItems were always enabled, regardless of configuration.

🚀 Improvements

• Adapter Start Behavior: Improved handling of adapter startup via the REST API.
• OPC UA Optimization: All tags are now grouped into a single subscription, reducing load and preventing subscription overload on OPC UA servers.

Deprecation Notice

HiveMQ Edge will soon be migrating to JDK v21 which will provide many enhancements and improvements to the efficiency and performance of HiveMQ Edge. This change will remove the capability to run HiveMQ Edge on 32Bit CPU architectures. An official date of change will be issued in the near future, this is just a preliminary warning for those operating HiveMQ Edge on 32Bit systems.
