RabbitMQ 4.1 is just around the corner and, as usual, apart from new features, we have made some internal changes that should provide better performance.

There are at least 4 notable changes:

1. Lower and more stable memory usage for quorum queues
2. Much better performance when consuming a long quorum queue
3. Better performance for Websocket connections
4. Lower memory usage and/or higher throughput for TCP connections

RabbitMQ 4.1 includes a completely redesigned peer discovery plugin for Kubernetes. No configuration changes should be needed when upgrading to 4.1, so if you want, you can just stop reading here. If you are interested in the details, read on. This blog post explains the peer discovery subsystem in general and the changes to rabbitmq_peer_discovery_k8s in particular.

Team RabbitMQ has two updates related to our Debian and RPM repositories:

1. On August 18, 2024, Team RabbitMQ's PackageCloud account will be discontinued
2. Cloudsmith mirror repositories now use *.rabbitmq.com domains, please update your repository definition files

Effective June 1st, the RabbitMQ community support and release policies will change for the open source distributions of RabbitMQ. The goal of these changes is to ensure that the RabbitMQ team has time to focus on developing new features for the Open Source and commercial versions of RabbitMQ.

Erlang/OTP 27.0 was released on May 20th, 2024. While it contains a lot of exciting features and improvements, unfortunately RabbitMQ currently doesn't work well with this version.

RabbitMQ 3.13 is now available with support for MQTTv5, stream filtering and significant improvements to classic queue performance, especially for larger messages.

Read dedicated blog posts for more details about these changes:

• support for version 5 of the MQTT protocol
• support for stream filtering
• performance improvements

RabbitMQ 3.13 is the final minor release in the 3.x series. The next release will be 4.0!

RabbitMQ now has an official Discord server started by the core team. If you prefer Discord to Slack, feel free to join it and discuss all things RabbitMQ!

RabbitMQ 3.10 has recently been released and has some major new features which focus on optimizations, performance, and stability.

Release notes page includes information about the specific changes in this version as well as various installation assets. See our upgrade guide for more information about upgrading to 3.10.0.

Let's have a tour!

RabbitMQ is not affected by the Log4j vulnerability, read below for more details.

In RabbitMQ 4.0, we intend to remove some RabbitMQ features to:

• Increase the resiliency of the core broker
• Decrease the number of suboptimal configurations available
• Remove technical surface area (maintaining old code) from the team
• Reduce the support burden

We continually innovate to meet and exceed our users’ expectations. Removal of older functionality that no longer meets these expectations, or serves our users, means we can focus on our mission to provide a stable, performant, and flexible messaging system.
