See important note if using LeafNode regarding domains.

JetStream

Overflow placement for streams. A stream can now be placed in the closest cluster from the origin request if it can be placed there.
Support for ephemeral Pull consumers (client libraries will need to be updated to allow those).
New consumer configuration options
- For Pull Consumers: MaxRequestBatch to limit the batch size any client can request MaxRequestExpires to limit the expiration any client can request
- For ephemeral consumers: InactiveThreshold duration that instructs the server to cleanup ephemeral consumers that are inactive for that long.
Ability to configure max_file_store and max_memory_store in the jetstream{} block as strings with the following suffixes K, M, G and T, for instance: max_file_store: "256M".
Support for the JWT field MaxBytesRequired, which defines a per-account maximum bytes for assets.

MQTT

Support for websocket protocol. MQTT clients must connect to the opened websocket port and add /mqtt to the URL path.

TLS

Ability to rate-limit the clients connections by adding the connection_rate_limit: <number of connections per seconds> in the tls{} top-level block.
