-* [Core] Added net7.0 builds (#1635, thanks to @YAJeff).
-* [Core] Added support for payload segments (#1585, thanks to @xljiulang)
-* [Client] Added support for passing MQTT v5 options (User properties etc.) for disconnects.
-* [Client] An internal exception is no longer caught silently when calling _DisconnectAsync_ to indicate that the disconnect is not clean (BREAKING CHANGE).
-* [Client] MQTTv5 features are now checked and an exception is thrown if they are used when using protocol version 3.1.1 and lower. These checks can be disabled in client options. (BREAKING CHANGE!).
-* [Client] Added support for disabling packet fragmentation (required for i.e. AWS, #1690, thanks to @logicaloud).
-* [Client] Added new overloads for options builder.
-* [Client] Renamed _InspectPackage_ to _InspectPacketAsync_ (BREAKING CHANGE).
-* [ManagedClient] Exposed added and removed topics in _ManagedProcessFailedEventArgs_ (#1678, thanks to @scottbrogden-iheartmedia).
-* [Server] Exposed MQTT v5 sent properties from the affected client in _ClientDisconnectedAsync_ event.
-* [Server] Fixed wrong client ID passed to _InterceptingUnsubscriptionEventArgs_ (#1631, thanks to @ghord).
-* [Server] Exposed socket settings for TCP keep alive in TCP options (#1544).
-* [Server] Exposed server session items at server level and allow custom session items for injected application messages (#1638).
-* [Server] Improved performance for retained message handling when subscribing using "DoNotSendOnSubscribe" or "SendAtSubscribeIfNewSubscriptionOnly" (#1661, thanks to @Int32Overflow).
-* [Server] Added support for changing the used TLS certificate while the server is running (#1652, thanks to @YAJeff). The certificate provider will now be invoked for every new connection!
-* [Server] Added a new API method which allows reading a single retained message without the need to processing the entire set of retained messages (#1659).
-* [Server] Added a new event (InterceptingClientEnqueueAsync) which allows intercepting when an application message is enqueued for a client (#1648).
-* [Server] Fixed race condition when handling connections which leads to stopped message transfers (#1677, thanks to @RazvanEmilR).
-* [Server] Fixed not delivered packets to other sessions if the _InterceptingClientEnqueueEvent_ is used and accepting the packet is denied (#1685, thanks to @RossHNPC).
-* [Server] Added missing user properties to subscribe and unsubscribe interceptor (#1702).
+* Core: Fixed issue when parsing AUTH packet with 0 length body (#2039).
+* nuget: Changed code signing and nuget certificate (**BREAKING CHANGE**).
+* TopicTemplates: Updated samples, parameter validation (#2022).
+* ManagedClient: Switch SubscribeAsync/UnsubscribeAsync to IEnumerable<string> (#2026).
+* Server: Fix _LoadingRetainedMessageAsync_ not executed (#2025).

+# MQTTNet.Extensions.TopicTemplate
+
+Provides mqtt topic templating logic to support dispatch, routing and
+similar functionality based on the well known moustache syntax, aka
+AsyncAPI dynamic channel address.
+
+Generating and parsing MQTT topics and topic filters is often done in
+an ad-hoc fashion, leading to error-prone code and subtly introduced
+showstoppers like forgetting to strip a slash from a parameter.  To
+remedy, this extension aids you write safe, maintainable logic
+for topic generation, routing and dispatch.
+
+
+## How it works
+
+The package lets you write MQTTNet code like:
+```csharp
+var template = new MqttTopicTemplate("App/v1/{sender}/message");
+
+var filter = new MqttTopicFilterBuilder()
+    .WithTopicTemplate(template) // (1)
+    .WithAtLeastOnceQoS()
+    .WithNoLocal()
+    .Build();
+
+// filter.Topic == "App/v1/+/message"
+
+var myTopic = template
+    .WithParameter("sender", "me, myself & i"); // (2)
+
+var message = new MqttApplicationMessageBuilder()
+    .WithTopicTemplate(  // (3)
+        myTopic)
+    .WithPayload("Hello!")
+    .Build();
+
+// message.Topic == "App/v1/me, myself & i/message"
+
+Assert.IsTrue(message.MatchesTopicTemplate(template)); // (4)
+```
+
+At (1), the parameter "sender" was automatically replaced by a plus sign
+(single level wildcard) because the caller is creating a topic filter.
+
+Using the same template (they are immutable), you can send
+a message. At (2), we replace the parameter with a known value.
+If that value contained a level separator or topic filter only
+characters, we'd get an ArgumentException. If we forgot to replace
+the parameter "sender" (e.g. when placing template not myTopic),
+we would be prevented from sending at (3).
+
+On the receiving side, a message can be matched to a template
+using code like at (4).
+
+These daily tasks become much safer and easier to code than 
+string.Format() and Split() allow for. More elaborate computation is supported
+too. You could extract the sender using the template or route
+messages based on topic content.
+
+## Features
+
+- Safe handling of topic parameters in moustache syntax
+- Simplifies topic generation and parsing logic
+- Match topics and extract the values of their parameters
+- Translate between topic templates to ease dynamic routing
+- Derive a canonical topic filter from a bunch of templates
+- Integrates with MQTTNet message, subscription and filter builders
+- Extension method friendly (sealed class with one public ctor)
+
+## Additional documentation
+
+- Some of the [unit tests](https://github.com/dotnet/MQTTnet/blob/master/Source/MQTTnet.Tests/Extensions/MqttTopicTemplate_Tests.cs) are instructive
+- Some examples feature the extension, e.g. TopicGenerator, Client_Subscribe_Samples
