     <description>MQTTnet is a high performance .NET library for MQTT based communication. It provides a MQTT client and a MQTT server (broker) and supports v3.1.0, v3.1.1 and v5.0.0 of the MQTT protocol.</description>
     <releaseNotes>
 * [Core] Added support for TLS 1.3 (requires .NET Core 3.1+) (thanks to @Dvergatal).
+* [RpcClient] Moved the RPC topic validation to the topic generation strategy.
+* [RcpClient] Added interface for _MqttRpcClient_.
 * [Server] Reduced async tasks count by moving dedicated keep alive tasks per connection to shared one.
 * [Server] Session takeover and keep alive timeout are now properly set in DISCONNECT packet.
 * [Server] Performance improvements.
