MQTT X July Newsletter 2022

Welcome to the July 2022 edition of the MQTT X newsletter. This month, we're excited to share some new updates and features that we've been working on.

Automatic Updates

One of the most requested features from our users has been automatic updates. We're happy to announce that MQTT X desktop will now automatically check for and install updates. This means that you'll always have the latest version of MQTT X with the latest features and bug fixes.

To enable automatic updates, simply go to the "Preferences" tab in MQTT X desktop and select the "Check for updates automatically" checkbox.

MQTT X CLI Support for MQTT 5.0

We're also excited to announce that MQTT X CLI now supports MQTT 5.0. This means that you can now use MQTT X CLI to connect to and communicate with MQTT 5.0 brokers.

To use MQTT X CLI with MQTT 5.0, simply specify the --protocol flag when connecting to a broker. For example:

mqttx-cli connect --host localhost --port 1883 --protocol mqttv5

New conn Command

We've also added a new conn command to MQTT X CLI. This command allows you to quickly and easily connect to a broker.

To use the conn command, simply specify the host, port, and protocol of the broker. For example:

mqttx-cli conn localhost 1883 mqttv5

The conn command will connect to the broker and print the connection status. You can then use other MQTT X CLI commands to publish and subscribe to messages.

MQTT X Web Improvements

We've also made some improvements to the MQTT X web UI. These improvements include:

A new, more user-friendly design
Improved performance
Support for dark mode
A new "Topics" tab that allows you to view and manage topics
A new "Sessions" tab that allows you to view and manage sessions

We hope you enjoy these new updates and features. As always, we appreciate your feedback. Please let us know what you think by emailing us at mqttx@eclipse.org.
