3.5.7 - Rabbitmq Server

RabbitMQ 3.5.7

RabbitMQ 3.5.7 is primarily a bug fix release.

Fix a race condition that could prevent nodes from stopping.

GitHub issue: rabbitmq-server#465
file_handle_cache:clear_read_cache/0 no longer silently fails.

The function is mean to be used with rabbitmqctl eval in environments where in-process buffering of file data is enabled.

Default RABBITMQ_PLUGINS_DIR value on Windows should be calculated as relative to RabbitMQ server installation directory, not RABBITMQ_BASE.
