Hi everyone,
    I've updated the MQTT test broker and client
      (https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.testing) to the latest
      version of the MQTT V5.0 specification, for which a 2nd public
      review draft is now available.  Here is a section of the
      announcement:
    We are pleased to announce that MQTT Version 5.0 from the MQTT
        TC [1] is now available for public review and comment. This
        release has been updated based on feedback from the previous
        public review. The comments received in that review and their
        resolution can be found at http://docs.oasis-open.org/mqtt/mqtt/v5.0/csprd01/mqtt-v5.0-csprd01-comment-resolution-log.doc.
      
      
    The full announcement can be found here:
      https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/mqtt/201711/msg00000.html
    A major difference is the inclusion of properties for the will
      message in the connect packet.
    
    I've also started on an embedded C client implementation of the
      MQTT V5.0 here:
      https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.embedded-c/tree/mqttv5.  I
      hope to have a first pass of the MQTTPacket library ready in the
      next week or so.  After that, I intended to move on to adding V5.0
      support to the main Paho C client and the higher level
      embedded client libraries, probably in that order.  If you have
      any comments on or hopes for that work, you can respond to this
      post, or send me email or open an issue on the relevant repo.
    Thanks.
