RabbitMQ 3.7.13

RabbitMQ 3.7.13 is a maintenance release. It focuses on bug fixes and
minor usability improvements. This release requires Erlang/OTP 20.3 or later.

Erlang/OTP Compatibility Notes

Per the new Erlang version support policy in effect starting with January 2019,
this release no longer supports Erlang/OTP 19.3.
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 20.3.x and 21.x.

Compatibility Notes

Minimum Required Erlang Version

This release requires Erlang/OTP 20.3 or later.

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.

Changes

Core Server

Bug Fixes

• Binding and unbinding operations could fail with a NOT_FOUND channel exception if binding tables
  got out of sync.

  GitHub issues: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1873, rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1878, rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1884

• Eliminated an accumulating inefficiency around topic-based authorization (only topic
  exchanges are affected).

  Contributed by Ayanda Dube.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1886

• TCP connections could accumulate when Proxy protocol
  was enabled and proxy's TCP connections were closed before Proxy protocol header was received and parsed.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1901

• When a queue was deleted, internal events
  about consumer cancellation (consumer.deleted) were not emitted.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1892

• Connection tracking subsystem failed and logged an exception when connection was closed before it could
  be registered.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1898

Enhancements

• Exclusive queue property mismatch during queue declaration now produces a more helpful
  error message.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#1887

• Erlang 22 forward compatibility: support more cipher suites for config value encryption.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-common#307

CLI Tools

Enhancements

• rabbitmqctl shutdown in --wait mode now uses node names instead of gethostname(2) when inferring
  if target node is remote. This is more reliable as it takes explicitly set node names and ERL_INETRC
  settings into account. In addition, it treats all nodes that have @localhost in the name as local
  (running on the same host).

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli#327.

• rabbitmqctl forget_cluster_node produces a more helpful error message when asked to remove a node with running
  RabbitMQ application.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli#323

• New command, rabbitmqctl force_gc, that requests fullsweep GC for all processes on the target node.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli#319

• All RabbitMQ CLI tools now support --version as well as version as a command.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli#314

Management Plugin

Bug Fixes

• rabbitmqadmin's' declare vhost_limit and delete vhost_limit did not support the vhost
  parameter.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management#667

• PUT /api/vhost-limits/{vhost}/{limit} documentation was incorrect and used confusing language.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management#667

Debian and RPM Packages

Bug Fixes

• Debian and RPM packages no longer source /etc/profile in post installation scripts.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server-release#93

Federation Plugin

Bug Fixes

• Federation links could fail to start with an {error, already_started} .

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-federation#84

Shovel Plugin

Bug Fixes

• AMQP 1.0 endpoint URIs could fail to parse.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-amqp1.0-client#23

HTTP AuthN/AuthZ Backend Plugin

Enhnanceements

• User tags are now passed to virtual host, resource and topic authorization check endpoints as a space-separated string.

  Contributed by romerod.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-auth-backend-http#79

Trust Store Plugin

Bug Fixes

• HTTP provider did not correctly update If-Modified-Since request header when certificates
  (and thus their Last-Modified response header) were updated.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-trust-store#68
