release-notes/3.11.3.md
RabbitMQ 3.11.3 is a maintenance release in the 3.11.x release series.
Please refer to the upgrade section from v3.11.0 release notes if upgrading from a version prior to 3.11.0.
This release requires Erlang 25. RabbitMQ and Erlang/OTP Compatibility Matrix has more details on Erlang version requirements for RabbitMQ.
As of 3.11.0, RabbitMQ requires Erlang 25. Nodes will fail to start on older Erlang releases.
Erlang 25 as our new baseline means much improved performance on ARM64 architectures, profiling with flame graphs across all architectures, and the most recent TLS 1.3 implementation available to all RabbitMQ 3.11 users.
Release notes can be found on GitHub at rabbitmq-server/release-notes.
Stream unsubscription leaked metric counters.
GitHub issue: #6325
Stream could become unavailable in certain node or network failure scenarios.
GitHub issue: #6179
It is now possible to pre-configure virtual host limits for groups of virtual hosts.
This is done using a set of new keys supported by rabbitmq.conf:
default_limits.vhosts.1.pattern = ^device
default_limits.vhosts.1.max_connections = 10
default_limits.vhosts.1.max_queues = 10
default_limits.vhosts.2.pattern = ^system
default_limits.vhosts.2.max_connections = 100
default_limits.vhosts.2.max_queues = -1
default_limits.vhosts.3.pattern = .*
default_limits.vhosts.3.max_connections = 20
default_limits.vhosts.3.max_queues = 20

GitHub issue: #4999
Quorum queue replicas no longer try to contact their unreachable peers for metrics. Previously this could result in a 30-40s delay for certain HTTP API requests that list queue metrics if one or more cluster members were down or stopped.
rabbitmq-diagnostics status now handles server responses where free disk space
is not yet computed. This is the case with nodes early in the boot process.
GitHub issue: #6303
When a plugin was enabled as a dependency (e.g. rabbitmq_shovel as a dependency of rabbitmq_shovel_management),
CLI tools previously did not discover commands in such plugins. Only explicitly enabled or pre-configured
plugins were scanned for commands.
This behavior was confusing. Now all enabled (explicitly or as a dependency) plugins are scanned.

GitHub issue: #6020
rabbitmq-diagnostics memory_breakdown now returns results much faster in environments with a large number
of quorum queues (say, tens or hundreds of thousands).
GitHub issue: #6390
Addition of a stream member could fail if the node being added was very early in its boot process (and doesn't have a certain stream-related components started).
GitHub issue: #6182
Support for "modified" disposition outcome used by some client libraries (such as QPid).
GitHub issue: #6243
Abruptly closed client connections resulted in incorrect updates of certain global metric counters.
GitHub issue: #5462
Management UI links now include "noopener" and "noreferrer" attributes to protect them against reverse tabnabbing. Note that since management UI only includes a small number of external links to trusted resources, reverse tabnabbing is unlikely to affect most users. However, it can show up in security scanner results and become an issue in environments where a modified version of RabbitMQ is offered as a service.

GitHub issue: #6211
Plugin could stop in environments where no static Shovels were defined and a specific sequence of events happens at the same time.
Contributed by @gomoripeti (CloudAMQP).
GitHub issue: #6286
Shovel now handles connection.blocked and connection.unblocked notifications
from remote destination nodes. This means fewer messages are kept in Shovel buffers when
a resource alarm goes into affect on the destination node.

GitHub issue: #6224
When installation directory was overridden, the plugins directory did not respect the updated base installation path.
