I am pleased to announce that I am being paid to work on Mosquitto by Cedalo AG.
|
||
I will be leaving my current job at the end of June this year, but have already
|
||
started work for Cedalo on a limited basis.
|
||
|
||
The press release for this change is below:
|
||
|
||
# New 1.5 release, MQTT 5.0 roadmap and commercial sponsor for Open-Source Eclipse Mosquitto MQTT Broker
|
||
|
||
Open-Source MQTT Broker Version 1.5 released – Estimate for availability of
|
||
MQTT 5.0 compliant version – German based Cedalo AG becomes commercial sponsor
|
||
for future Mosquitto Open Source development
|
||
|
||
A new version of the open source Eclipse Mosquitto MQTT broker is available on
|
||
the Mosquitto website at [mosquitto.org](https://mosquitto.org). Mosquitto version 1.5 brings a
|
||
host of changes to the broker, including performance improvements and more
|
||
flexible authentication and access control, as well as numerous bug fixes. The
|
||
client library has added some helper functions to allow the creation of
|
||
extremely simple MQTT clients.
|
||
|
||
The initiator and core developer of the Mosquitto project is now employed by
|
||
the German based company Cedalo AG ([www.cedalo.com](https://www.cedalo.com)). Cedalo has hired Roger
|
||
Light to sponsor the further development of Mosquitto and to accelerate the
|
||
public availability of a powerful MQTT broker. Cedalo is the creator of the
|
||
end-user oriented IoT modelling tool “Streamsheets”.
|
||
|
||
With the new sponsorship the project is now able to accelerate the path towards
|
||
new releases. The next version of Mosquitto will add support for MQTT version
|
||
5, which is the most substantial revision of the protocol since the first
|
||
public specification was released. MQTT v5 adds error reporting, enhancements
|
||
for scalability at the server side, features to help resource constrained
|
||
clients, and extensible metadata - which is used amongst other things to
|
||
introduce support for a request/response capability.
|
||
|
||
The MQTT v5 compliant release is planned for the end of August 2018.
