v1.6.1 - 2021-10-21
===================

- Fix Python 2.7 compatilibity.


v1.6.0 - 2021-10-20
===================

- Changed default TLS version to 1.2 instead of 1.0.
- Fix incoming MQTT v5 messages with overall property length > 127 bytes being
  incorrectly decoded. Closes #541.
- MQTTMessageInfo.wait_for_publish() and MQTTMessageInfo.is_published() will
  now raise exceptions if called when the publish call produced an error.
  Closes #550.
- Remove periodic retry checks for outgoing messages with QoS>0. This means
  that outgoing messages will only be retried on the client reconnecting to
  the server. They will *not* be retried when the client is still connected.
- The `rc` parameter in the `on_disconnect` callback now has meaningful values
  in the case of an error. Closes #441.
- Callbacks can now be applied to client instances using decorators.
- PUBACK messages are now sent to the broker only after the on_message
  callback has returned.
- Raise exceptions when attempting to set MQTT v5 properties to forbidden
  values. Closes #586.
- Callbacks can now be updated from within a callback.
- Remove _out_packet_mutex and _current_out_packet_mutex and convert the
  _out_packet queue use to thread safe.
- Add basic MQTT v5 support to the subscribe and publish helper functions.
  Closes #575.
- Fix on_disconnect() sometimes calling the MQTT v3.x callback when it should
  call the MQTT v5 callback. Closes #570.
- Big performance improvement when receiving large payloads, particularly for
  SSL. Closes #571,
- Fix connecting with MQTT v5 to a broker that doesn't support MQTT v5.
  Closes #566.
- Removed ancient Mosquitto compatibility class.
- Fix exception on calling Client(client_id="", clean_session=False).
  Closes #520.
- Experimental support for Websockets continuation frames. Closes #500.
  Closes #89.
- `Properties.json()` now converts Correlation Data bytes() objects to hex.
  Closes #555.
- Only use the internal sockpair wakeup when running with loop_start() or
  loop(). This removes problems when running with an external event loop.
- Drain all of sockpairR bytes to avoid unnecessary wakeups and possible
  timeouts. Closes #563.
- Add timeout to MQTTMessageInfo:wait_for_publish().


v1.5.1 - 2020-09-22
===================

- Exceptions that occur in callbacks are no longer suppressed by default. They
  can optionally be suppressed by setting `client.suppress_exceptions = True`.
  Closes #365.
- Fix PUBREL remaining length of > 2 not being accepted for MQTT v5 message
  flows. Closes #481.
- Fix MQTT v5 properties not being sent on retried or queued messages.
- Fix errors related to detection of MQTT v5 first connections.
- Fix for changes related to Python 3.9.

  current limitation of paho-mqtt.
- Fix reconnection loop when a clean_session=True client reconnect while Qos2

- **BREAKING** tls_insecure_set() must now be called *after* tls_set()
- Allow username and password to be zero length (as opposed to not being
  present). Closes #80.

  Closes #15, #16.
- Allow arbitrary Websocket headers and path.

v1.2.3 - 2017-04-20
===================

- Fix possible hang of TLS connection during handshake.
  Closes #3.
- Fix issue with publish helper with TLS connection.
  Closes #180.
- Fix installation issue on non-UTF-8 system.

  Closes #182.

v1.2.2 - 2017-04-11
===================

  Closes #172.

v1.2.1 - 2017-04-03
===================

- Handle unicode username and passwords correctly. Closes #79.
- Fix handling of invalid UTF-8 topics on incoming messages - the library now
  does not attempt to decode the topic - this will happen when the user
  accesses msg.topic in the on_message callback. If the topic is not valid
  UTF-8, an exception will be raised. Closes #75.
- Fix issue with WebSocket connection in case of network issue (timeout or
  connection broken). Closes #105.
- Fix issue with SSL connection, where latest incoming message may be delayed
  or never processed. Closes #131.
- Fix possible message lost with publish.single and publish.multiple. Closes
  #119.


v1.2 - 2016-06-03
=================

- Client.publish() now returns an MQTTMessageInfo object. The MQTTMessageInfo
  object behaves like a tuple of (rc, mid) for backwards compatibility but
  also provides two functions: is_published() and wait_for_published().
  This allows a client to determine whether any given message has been
  published without need for a callback, and also allows the client to block
  waiting until the message has been sent.
- Further fix for Client constructor for the case where "localhost" is
  unresolvable.
- Add paho.mqtt.subscribe module, with simple() and callback() helper
  functions.
- Allow ^C to interrupt client loop.
- Fix for keepalive=0 causing an infinite disconnect/reconnect loop. Closes
  #42.
- Modify callbacks definition/structure to allow classical inheritence. Closes
  #53, #54.
- Add websockets support.
- Default MQTT version is again changed to v3.1.1.
- Client.subscribe() now accepts unicode type topic inputs on Python 2. Closes
  #16.
- paho.mqtt.publish() now raises an MQTTException on a CONNECT failure, rather
  than blindly continuing. Closes #6.
- Don't block on TLS sockets on Python 3. Closes #2.
- Client.publish() now accepts bytes() payloads on Python 3. Closes #1.
- Don't attempt to join() own thread. Closes #14.
- Allow the use of Client.message_callback_add() from inside callbacks. Closes
  #12.
- Use a monotonic time source for keeping track of time, if available. Closes
  #56.


v1.1 - 2015-01-30
=================

- Add support for wildcard certificates. Closes #440547.
- Default connection behaviour has been reverted to MQTT v3.1 instead of
  v3.1.1. There is as yet insufficient support for v3.1.1 to rely on, and
  current v3.1 implementations do not return the correct CONNACK code to allow
  detection of the fault. Closes #451735.
- Fix incorrect handling of queued messages after reconnecting. Closes
  #452672.
- Fix possible race condition if the connection in loop_start() does not
  complete before loop_stop() is called, meaning the network thread never
  ends. Closes #448428. Thanks to Kees Bakker.


v1.0.2 - 2014-09-13
===================

- Fix "protocol" not being used in publish.single()
- Fix Client constructor for the case where "localhost" is unresolvable.
  Closes #439277.
- Don't attempt to encode topic to utf-8 twice. Thanks to Luc Milland.
- Handle "unicode" type payloads on Python 2.7. Thanks to Luc Milland.
- Fix reconnecting after sending more QoS>0 messages than inflight messages is
  set to, whilst connecting.  Closes #443935. Thanks to Hiram van Paassen.
- Fix possible race condition when connecting with TLS and publishing at the
  same time, which could lead to PUBLISH data being sent before any other
  messages and unencrypted. Closes #443964. Thanks to Hiram van Paassen.
- Handle exceptions from select() in client loop() function. Closes #443881.
  Thanks to Jeff Jasper.
