Core Server

Enhancements

• Quorum queues: better forward compatibility with (currently in preview) RabbitMQ 3.10.

  GitHub issue: #4560

• Significantly faster queue re-import from definitions
  on subsequent node restarts. Initial definition import still takes
  the same amount of time as before.

  GitHub issue: #4538

• Significantly faster exchange re-import from definitions
  on subsequent node restarts. Initial definition import still takes
  the same amount of time as before.

  GitHub issue: #4585

• RabbitMQ nodes will now filter out certain log messages related to
  connections, channels, and queue leader replicas receiving internal protocol messages
  sent to this node before a restart. These messages usually raise more questions
  and cause confusion than help.

  It is still possible to detect relevant underlying events (node or connection failures)
  from other log messages.

  GitHub issue: #4557

Bug Fixes

• rabbitmq-upgrade await_online_synchronized_mirror is now a no-op in single node
  clusters

  GitHub issue: #4570

Prometheus Plugin

Bug Fixes

• One metric that was exposed via CLI tools and management plugin's HTTP API
  was not exposed via Prometheus scraping API.
