MQTT version update

["Mr. Richard Coppen" <coppen@uk.ibm.com>]

Hi,

Following the discussion on last week's TC call re. version numbering, I've now reviewed the OASIS Naming Directive and spoken with Chet to clarify. In summary, the OASIS naming directive requires us to express the version of the standard in the format #.#. Our working title of "MQTT Version 5" will therefore be presented as "MQTT Version 5.0" in the work product templates and work product filenames will follow the convention using the prefix "mqtt-v5.0-".

More information on the naming directive can be found here >  http://docs.oasis-open.org/specGuidelines/ndr/namingDirectives.html < see Section 5 for specific instructions on versions.

Based on the majority view expressed at the meeting, I believe the best option is to move forward with the external version of 5.0 (in accordance with the directive) and flow 5 on the wire. We can review, as required, at our next TC call.


Best regards


Richard
