 ## Changelog
 
+**2.6.1** - 2024-01-11
+  - decoupled name of the client used locally from the name used when connecting to the broker to ensure independent clients using this library can use the same names locally   
+
+**2.6.0** - 2024-01-10
+  - added the classmethod "client_names()" to client to retrieve the name of all instances
+  - the classmethod "get(username)" of the client raises the "ChildNotFoundError" if there is no instance having the specified username
+
 **2.5.4** - 2023-04-18
   - fixed usage of a randomized client_id, so that the same credentials can be used for multiple clients in parallel
