3.7.10

RabbitMQ 3.7.10

RabbitMQ 3.7.10 is a maintenance release. It focuses on bug fixes and minor usability improvements.

Compatibility Notes

rabbitmq-plugins in this release will produce an extra leading line of output, as they did in 3.6.x releases, when -q is not provided. Tools that parse rabbitmq-plugins output should use -q --no-table-headers to suppress all output meant for interactive use.

Erlang/OTP Compatibility Notes

This is the last release to support Erlang/OTP 19.3. Users are highly encouraged to upgrade to a more recent supported Erlang version.

Upgrading to Erlang 21.x

When upgrading to this release and upgrading Erlang to 21.x at the same time, extra care has to be taken. Since CLI tools from RabbitMQ releases older than 3.7.7 will fail on Erlang 21, RabbitMQ must be upgraded before Erlang.

Documentation Guides and Change Log

See 3.7.0 release notes upgrade and compatibility notes if upgrading from an earlier release.

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

Changes

Core Server

Bug Fixes

• Channel stats emission performed some operations without a timeout, so listing channels or running a node health check could block and potentially cause temporary process accumulation on the node.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1783

• Virtual host process memory usage was higher than necessary.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1770

• Node could run into a failed assertion after a partial partition.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1682

• Topic authorisation could fail with an exception if connection terminated (cleanly or abruptly) concurrently.

  GitHub issues: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-common#290, rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1538

• Pointing RABBITMQ_SERVER_CODE_PATH at a HiPE-precompiled code directory didn't result in HiPE-compiled modules being loaded.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1777

Enhancements

• kernel.inet_dist_listen_min and kernel.inet_dist_listen_max could not be configured via new style config.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1784

CLI Tools

Bug Fixes

• rabbitmqctl list_consumers only listed consumers on queues that had leader replica hosted on the target node. Instead consumers of all queues in the virtual host should have been listed.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli#284

• A combination of RABBITMQ_NODENAME and RABBITMQ_USE_LONGNAME now works the same way for CLI tools as prior to 3.7.0.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli#278

• New command: rabbitmq-diagnostics tls_versions, that lists TLS versions available in the runtime on the target nodes.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli#289

• rabbitmqadmin declare user now supports providing a password hash and algorithm instead of a password.

  Contributed by John W. Higgings.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management#641

• -q was hardcoded for rabbitmq-plugins

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1781

Enhancements

• rabbitmqctl set_log_level is a new command that changes effective log level of a node at runtime.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli#276

• rabbitmq-diagnostics runtime_thread_stats is a new command that outputs runtime thread state stats.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli#282

• rabbitmq-plugins directories is a new command that outputs effective plugin directories.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli#261

• --silent is a new flag that combines --quiet and --no-table-headers (where applicable).

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli#274

• Improved error messages for several common issues that can make rabbitmq-plugins commands fail.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli#283

Management and Management Agent Plugins

Bug Fixes

• Exported definitions for an individual virtual host were missing runtime parameters.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management#628

• Filter inputs now escape incomplete HTML tags from their values. Previously they only stripped complete and valid tags. Note that the inputs are not populated from request parameters and have to be manually populated by the user.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management#646

• Exclusive queue owner connection now again can be navigated to using a link on the queue page.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management#467

Enhancements

• More TLS options, including cipher suites, now can be configured using new style config format.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management#643

• Metric chart ranges now only list options for which enough data is retained.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management#635

STOMP Plugin

Enhancements

• TCP listener options now can be configured using new style configuration format.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-stomp#129

Shovel Plugin

Bug Fixes

• Backported several stability improvements for interaction with AMQP 1.0 endpoints from the 3.8 development branch (master).

  Changes: one, two

• Shovels now can be created with blank publish properties.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-shovel#46

Consistent Hash Exchange Plugin

Bug Fixes

• The plugin relied on a non-deterministic ordering behavior when bindings were removed (e.g. because a queue was deleted). This could lead to inconsistent hash ring state and affect routing behavior.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-consistent-hash-exchange#40

Web STOMP Plugin

Bug Fixes

• When web_mqtt.ssl.listener is set, TLS certificate, key and other TLS settings were ignored.

  GitHub: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-web-stomp#104

Enhancements

• Proxy protocol support.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-web-stomp#84

• TCP (as in, non-TLS) listener now can be disabled.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-web-stomp#100

• More TLS options, including cipher suites, now can be configured using new style config format.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-web-stomp#101

• Proxy protocol now can be enabled via new style config format.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-web-stomp#99

• Resource-driven flow control support.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-web-stomp#40

Web MQTT Plugin

Bug Fixes

• When web_mqtt.ssl.listener is set, TLS certificate, key and other TLS settings were ignored.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-web-mqtt#48
