Today, we announce the availability of TMS MQTT 2.0 beta to all active TMS ALL-ACCESS users. As TMS ALL-ACCESS user, login on our website and from the "My Products" page after login on our website, you can obtain TMS MQTT 2.0 beta.
TMS MQTT v2.0 is a big step forward, introducing support for the latest MQTT v5.0 protocol. As most major MQTT brokers have meanwhile MQTT v5.0 support, now you can take advantage of the new MQTT v5.0 protocol features from our TMS MQTT client component. Note that at the same time, the TMS MQTT client is still compatible with v3.1.1 brokers. The desired MQTT protocol level can be selected via a property on the client component.
The new MQTT v5.0 protocol offers significant new features & capabilities such as:
- Shared subscriptions: share subscriptions to a broker between clients
- Topic aliases: shorten topic strings by using aliases
- User Properties: add a key-value property to the message header
- Payload format indicators: can indicate in the header what the MIME type of content is
