What’s new in HiveMQ Edge 2025.8

HiveMQ Edge 2025.8 is a maintenance release focused on fixes and reliability improvements, in this release we’ve also deprecated the automated legacy configuration migration that was released with version 2024.8.

Deprecation of Configuration Migration

Version 2024.8 introduced southbound connectivity, which required a migration script for versions earlier than 2024.8 to be upgraded with no loss of configuration.

Today we’re deprecating that functionality to improve the maintenance capability of HiveMQ Edge, therefore if you’re needing to upgrade to version 2025.8 or beyond from a version prior to 2024.8. Then you must upgrade to an interim version to preserve your configuration.

This is detailed further in our migration guide.

Additional Improvements

• Migrated to the newly released HiveMQ MTConnect protocol library for improved integration and compatibility.
• Dropped support for configurations created before HiveMQ Edge 2024.8 making configuration file creation much simpler.
