## whats new
- Forced node deletions, if a host doesn't not receive message to delete a node, you can forcefully remove it by deleting it twice from UI/CLI  
  - Allows user to remove orpahned Nodes + Hosts easier
- EMQX ACLs, if using EMQX as broker, ACLs per host will be created, enhancing security around messages
