Roadmap: Plans regarding MQTTv5?

[flxo]

Hello,

I haven't found much regarding the roadmap of rumqtt - especially v5.
In #19 there's a mention. Would be great if @tekjar could give a short summary what are the current activities or plans? I can add this afterwards to the readme.

thanks!

@flxo Unfortunately mqtt 5 work hasn't started yet as we've prioritized other stuff. Serialization and deserialization is done though. A lot of work is happening in private repos as we couldn't keep up with opensource support. We are in the process of hiring and this should improve soon.

OTOH, what do you need now? Mqtt 5 broker or client? I'll try to escalate this internally

Thanks for your reply. I'm mainly interested in the the broker part since the client libs we use have v5 support (C and Java).

Cool. Can you let me know the features that are important to you in mqtt 5? (E.g. topic aliases)

[flxo]

The feature that is most used in our scenario are user properties and auth.

Do you have any update on that ?
We are migrating projects to rust and are looking for a mqtt broker in rust, opensource, that we could contribute to.
For us, the main use-case for v5 is the request-response pattern.
We would eagerly contribute to a rust implementation to make that feature available.

Hey @yguel, we are working on this with #351. We'd love to get any insights that you'd have for us.

Closing this issue in favor of the above mentioned issue. Thank you!
