What's New in HiveMQ 4.4?

We are pleased to announce the release of HiveMQ 4.4. HiveMQ 4.4 is the result of our customer’s feedback and comes with a bunch of new features. In summary, this new version enables you to automate the operation and gain finer-grained observability of your HiveMQ deployment as well as easier integration into third-party applications.

Here are the Highlights of our HiveMQ 4.4 release:

  • A new REST API enables you to programmatically interact with your HiveMQ broker.
  • The Client Event History offers you a historical view of all client events to analyze client behavioral patterns or diagnose problems at a later time.
  • Two new MQTT topics to help you understand why and when messages expire or drop for easier reporting and analysis of expired or dropped messages.
  • To simplify deployment and operation of HiveMQ on Kubernetes, we are including the new HiveMQ Kubernetes Operator in this release. Our new operator lets you benefit from all our knowledge on how to optimally deploy and operate HiveMQ clusters and extensions on Kubernetes.
  • Significant improvements of existing Enterprise Extensions and a brand new Bridge Extension that allows HiveMQ to bridge to another MQTT broker for scalable, reliable and bi-directional exchange of MQTT message streams.

You can learn about all features, new products, and tools below or watch the summary in this short YouTube video or on our blog.

HiveMQ 4.4 is a drop-in replacement for version 4.3 and supports rolling upgrade with zero downtime. To learn more, see our HiveMQ Upgrade Guide.
