The next release of mosquitto is approaching. There is currently only one
|
|
|
feature left on the todo list to complete and I've pencilled in the end of the
|
|
|
month as the release date. The date may slip a week or two after that depending
|
|
|
on any bugs reported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Despite the development being carried out in the 0.16 branch and the current
|
|
|
in-development version numbers being 0.15.90, this will be version 1.0 of
|
|
|
mosquitto. There has been significant API changes (now a lot more sane
|
|
|
hopefully) which means the client library interface version has been
|
|
|
incremented, and the number of changes involved in this release far outreach
|
|
|
any previous release, including SSL support, a pure Python client
|
|
|
implementation, a healthy start on tests and an associated improvement in
|
|
|
protocol compliance, and threaded client support. I think it is well worthy of
|
|
|
the version number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am, however, very keen that this be as bug free a release as possible. To
|
|
|
this end, if you're a mosquitto user I'd be very appreciative if you'd download
|
|
|
the current source code and give it a try. Maybe read through the documentation
|
|
|
and check it makes sense
|
|
|
|
|
|
The source for the current version is at either of these links (ignore the
|
|
|
"0.16", that is just the branch name):
|
|
|
|
|
|
* <https://bitbucket.org/oojah/mosquitto/get/0.16.zip>
|
|
|
* <https://bitbucket.org/oojah/mosquitto/get/0.16.bz2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to test but with a minimum amount of effort, please download the
|
|
|
source, run "make test" and report back any problems. This would be
|
|
|
particularly useful if you are using something other than a
|
|
|
Debian/Ubuntu/openSUSE based Linux. If you have any problems, bugs can be
|
|
|
reported at <https://launchpad.net/mosquitto>, by leaving a comment or by
|
|
|
getting in touch directly. I'm interested in anything, but would be especially
|
|
|
keen to hear from you if you think something to do with the client API needs
|
|
|
changing.

Thanks in advance!
