Upgrade and Compatibility Notes

Upgrade Doc Guides and Change Log

See 3.8.0 release notes upgrade and
compatibility notes first if upgrading from an earlier release series (e.g. 3.7.x).

See the Upgrading guide for general documentation on upgrades and
RabbitMQ change log for release notes of other releases.

Upgrading to Erlang 22.x or Later Versions

When upgrading to this release from 3.7.15 or an older version, extra care has to be taken.

Because older RabbitMQ CLI tools can be incompatible with Erlang 22+ releases,
RabbitMQ must be upgraded at the same time as Erlang.

Alternatively the node can be upgraded to 3.7.18 on Erlang 21.3 first,
then Erlang 22.x or 23.x, then RabbitMQ to the most recent 3.8.x release.

Any questions about this release, upgrades or RabbitMQ in general are welcome on the RabbitMQ mailing list
and RabbitMQ community Slack.

Changes Worth Mentioning

Prometheus Plugin

Bug Fixes

• AuthN authentication attempts metrics produced duplicate TYPE and HELP strings in
  the scraping API endpoint output.

  Some metrics were renamed to avoid duplication. The new names are auth_attempts_detailed_total,
  auth_attempts_detailed_succeeded_total, and auth_attempts_detailed_failed_total.

  This issue is specific to RabbitMQ 3.8.10 and 3.8.11.
