| We are currently using MQTT version 3.1.1. In future, if we consider to upgrade to MQTT version 5.0, which has introduced new features to address authentication, we will need to ensure that this proposal implements authentication and authorization support in a way that is compatible with both MQTT 3.1.1 and MQTT 5.0. |

Would it make sense to move to MQTT 5.0 now instead of thinking about implementation compatible with both versions? That way you can implement the things directly based on the features introduced in 5.0.

apart from not being a simple move, MQTT v3.1.1 is still the most used protocol in the industry. I had a conversation with @ppatierno a long ago, and seemed that there's no such plan to move to MQTT v5

I'm definitely not an expert in MQTT, but I read that v5 is still compatible with previous versions, as it supports v3.1 and v3.1.1 features. As I said, I'm not expert, but I guess it means that even if the MQTT v3.1.1 is the most used protocol, the clients would work with MQTT Bridge having the v5 there, or?
And yeah I understand that it's not a simple move. But if there are other benefits and the versions are compatible, I think it's something we could consider?
But yeah, I'm leaving this for @ppatierno as you two were working on it :)

I agree. Let's see what @ppatierno has to say about this move.
Meanwhile, I added some technical details to the proposal.
