RabbitMQ 3.7.7 a maintenance release. This release introduces compatibility with Erlang/OTP 21.

Upgrades and Compatibility

This release has no known incompatibilities with earlier 3.7.x releases.

Upgrading to Erlang 21.0

When upgrading to this release and upgrading Erlang to 21.0 at the same time, extra care has to be taken. Since CLI tools from any earlier RabbitMQ release will fail on Erlang 21, RabbitMQ must be upgraded before Erlang.
