 * Add `cert_common_name` and `cert_subject` placeholder support for authz_http and authz_mongo.[#8973](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/8973)
 * Use milliseconds internally in emqx_delayed to store the publish time, improving precision.[#9060](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9060)
 * More rigorous checking of flapping to improve stability of the system. [#9136](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9136)
+* No message(s) echo for the message publish APIs [#9155](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9155)
+  Prior to this fix, the message publish APIs (`api/v5/publish` and `api/v5/publish/bulk`) echos the message back to the client in HTTP body.
+  This change fixed it to only send back the message ID.
