-* [Core] Fixed not working removal of event handlers from async events (#1479).
-* [Client] Added support for passing the local endpoint (network card) which should be used (#1311).
-* [Client] Exposed _PackageIdentifier_ in _MqttApplicationMessageReceivedEventArgs_ (thanks to @koepalex, #1466).
-* [Server] Added a new event (_ClientAcknowledgedPublishPacketAsync_) which is fired whenever a client acknowledges a PUBLISH packet (QoS 1 and 2, #487).
-* [Server] Exposed channel adapter (HTTP context etc.) in connection validation (#1125).
-* [Server] The event _InterceptingPublishAsync_ is now also called for injected application messages (#Jeanot-Zubler).
-* [Server] Exposed session items in multipe events (#1291).
+* [Core] Fixed several dead locks by implementing a new async signal (#1552)
+* [Client] All waiting tasks will now fail when the client connection gets closed. This fixes several freezes (#1561)
+* [ManagedClient] The topic is no longer declared as invalid if a topic alias is used (#1395)
+* [Server] Fixed duplicated invocation of the event _ClientAcknowledgedPublishPacketAsync_ for QoS level 2 (#1550)
+* [Server] Fixed issue in upgrading and downgrading of QoS levels for subscriptions and retained messages (#1560)
+* [Server] Fixed memory leak when old sessions are discarded (#1553)
+* [Server] When using MQTTv5 the reason code _NoMatchingSubscribers_ is returned when no client is subscribed to a published topic (#802)
+* [Server] Fix sending of duplicate messages with QoS > 0 when session is recovered and session is reused (#1546)
