TL;DR

Machine Head is a small Clojure MQTT client.

1.0.0-beta9 is a development milestone that introduces one breaking API change.

Changes Between 1.0.0-beta8 and 1.0.0-beta9

Subscription API Change

Previously clojurewerkz.machine-head.client/subscribe accepted a list of topics and optionally a list of QoS levels:

1
2
3

(mh/subscribe c ["mh/topics/#" "mh/alt.topics/+"]
                  (fn [^String topic meta ^bytes payload])
                  {:qos [0 1]})

This turns out to be a fairly confusing API.

We’ve changed it to accept a map of topics to QoS levels. While a bit more verbose, this API make it very clear what topic will use what QoS:

1
2

(mh/subscribe c {"mh/topics/#" 0 "mh/alt.topics/+" 1}
                  (fn [^String topic meta ^bytes payload] ))

Changes Between 1.0.0-beta7 and 1.0.0-beta8

Clojure 1.6 By Default

The project now depends on org.clojure/clojure version 1.6.0. It is still compatible with Clojure 1.4 and if your project.clj depends on a different version, it will be used, but 1.6 is the default now.

We encourage all users to upgrade to 1.6, it is a drop-in replacement for the majority of projects out there.

Changes Between 1.0.0-beta6 and 1.0.0-beta7

Retain Default Change

When publishing, retain now defaults to false, which is a much more sensible default.
