RabbitMQ 3.12.11

on GitHub

RabbitMQ 3.12.11 is a maintenance release in the 3.12.x release series.

Please refer to the upgrade section from the 3.12.0 release notes
if upgrading from a version prior to 3.12.0.

This release requires Erlang 25 and supports Erlang versions up to 26.1.x.
RabbitMQ and Erlang/OTP Compatibility Matrix has more details on
Erlang version requirements for RabbitMQ.

Minimum Supported Erlang Version

As of 3.12.0, RabbitMQ requires Erlang 25. Nodes will fail to start on older Erlang releases.

Users upgrading from 3.11.x (or older releases) on Erlang 25 to 3.12.x on Erlang 26
(both RabbitMQ and Erlang are upgraded at the same time) must consult
the v3.12.0 release notes first.

Changes Worth Mentioning

Release notes can be found on GitHub at rabbitmq-server/release-notes.

Core Broker

Bug Fixes

• Quorum queue declared when one of cluster nodes was down could trigger
  connection exceptions.

  GitHub issue: #10007

• Avoids a rare exception that could stop TCP socket writes on a client connection.

  GitHub issues: #9991, #9803

• queue_deleted and queue_created internal events now include queue type as a module name,
  and not an inconsistent (with the other queue and stream types) value classic.

  GitHub issue: #10142

Enhancements

• Definition files that are virtual host-specific cannot be imported on boot. Such files will now be
  detected early and the import process will terminate after logging a more informative message.

  Previously the import process would run into an obscure exception.

  GitHub issues: #10068, #10085

AMQP 1.0 Plugin

Bug Fixes

• Several AMQP 1.0 application properties are now more correctly converted
  to AMQP 0-9-1 headers by cross-protocol Shovels.

  The priority property now populates an AMQP 1.0 header with the same name,
  per AMQP 1.0 spec.

  This is a potentially breaking change.

  GitHub issues: #10037, #7508

Prometheus Plugin

Enhancements

• Metric label values now escape certain non-ASCII characters.

  Contributed by @gomoripeti (CloudAMQP).

  GitHub issue: #10196

MQTT Plugin

Bug Fixes

• Avoids an exception when an MQTT client that used a QoS 0 subscription reconnects
  and its original connection node is down.

  GitHub issue: #10205

• Avoids an exception when an MQTT client connection was force-closed via the HTTP API.

  GitHub issue: #10140

CLI Tools

Bug Fixes

• Certain CLI commands could not be run in a shell script loop, unless the script explicitly
  redirected standard input.

  GitHub issue: #10131

Enhancements

• rabbitmq-diagnostics cluster_status now responds much quicker when a cluster node
  has gone down, were shut down, or otherwise has become unreachable by the rest of the cluster.

  GitHub issue: #10126

Management Plugin

Bug Fixes

• Reverted a change to DELETE /api/queues/{vhost}/{name} that allowed removal of
  exclusive queues and introduced unexpected side effects.

  GitHub issue: #10178

• DELETE /api/policies/{vhost}/{policy} returned a 500 response instead of a 404 one
  when target virtual host did not exist.

  GitHub issue: #9983

• Avoid log noise when an HTTP API request is issued against a booting
  or very freshly booted node.

  Contributed by @gomoripeti (CloudAMQP).

  GitHub issue: #10187

Enhancements

• HTTP API endpoints that involves contacting multiple nodes now respond much quicker when a cluster node
  has gone down, were shut down, or otherwise has become unreachable by the rest of the cluster

  GitHub issue: #10123

• Definition exported for just one virtual host cannot be imported at node boot time.
  Now such files are detected early with a clear log message and immediate node boot process termination.

  GitHub issues: #10068, #10072

AWS Peer Discovery Plugin

Enhancements

• Type spec and test corrections.

  Contributed by @illotum (AWS).

  GitHub issue: #10134
