release-notes/3.7.24.md
RabbitMQ 3.7.24 is a maintenance release.
RabbitMQ 3.7.x series is supported through March 2020.
Per the new Erlang version support policy in effect starting with January 2019, this release no longer supports Erlang/OTP 20.3. Make sure a supported Erlang version is used before upgrading.
Provisioning Latest Erlang Releases explains
what package repositories and tools can be used to provision latest patch versions of Erlang 21.3.x and 22.x.
When upgrading to this release and upgrading Erlang to 21.x or later 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 or later, RabbitMQ must be upgraded before Erlang.
See 3.7.0 release notes upgrade and compatibility notes first 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.
Any questions about this release, upgrades or RabbitMQ in general are welcome on the RabbitMQ mailing list.
Autoheal could fail to finish if one of its state transitions initiated by a remote node timed out.

Reduced scheduled GC activity in connection socket writer to one run per 1 GiB of data transferred, with an option to change the value or disable scheduled run entirely. More frequent binary heap GC runs seem unneccesary on Erlang 22.

GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#2044
RabbitMQ nodes will now gracefully shutdown when receiving a SIGTERM or SIGQUIT signals.
Previously the runtime would invoke a default handler that terminates the VM giving
RabbitMQ no chance to execute its shutdown steps.
In addition, SIGUSER1 and SIGUSR2 signals are ignored.
GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#2222
Some proxy protocol errors are now logged at debug level. This reduces log noise in environments where TCP load balancers and proxies perform health checks by opening a TCP connection but never sending any data.

A new POST /login endpoint can be used by custom management UI login forms to authenticate the user
and set the cookie.
