This HiveMQ Extension enables some of the MQTT 5 Features for MQTT 3 Clients.
MQTT 5 allows while connecting to send a CleanStart flag which says that the MQTT Broker should remove the existing session of the client before connecting it. The Client will like the name already suggests then have a fresh session. Combining this flag with the Session Expiry Interval lets the Client have an offline session after disconnecting from the Broker.
MQTT 3 has a similar flag called CleanSession which also lets the Broker remove the existing session. The difference to MQTT 5 however is that after setting this flag there is no way to have an offline session for this Client without reconnecting again with the flag disabled.
By enabling this Feature in the config of the Extension you can use the CleanSession flag of the older MQTT versions like the MQTT 5 CleanStart flag. This means that the session of the Client will not be removed when this flag is used. By default it will then use the max Session Expiry Interval for the Client which also can be configured.
