Installing Mosquitto for emoncms

[pb66 (Paul)]

I wonder why we are still using mosquitto-alpha? Anyone know?

@pb66

The last alpha version was 0.2.2 released 20 Mar 2014, Since then the mosquitto extension for PHP has passed to beta (v0.3.0 Sept 2015) and updated again to 0.4.0 13 March 2017.

I noted the linked emoncms guide for installing mosquitto has been revised for PHP7 to include the required symlinking, however, looking at the extension changelog, PHP 7.0 wasn’t officially supported until the last beta version (0.4.0 Mar 17) so I’m guessing “Stretch” users at the very least should be on the beta version?
