Project Updates

• RabbitMQ 3.8.4 was released in late May, the first release to feature Erlang 23 compatibility. Three weeks later 3.8.5 followed with complete Erlang 23 support.
• Docker community-maintained RabbitMQ image has adopted Erlang 23 in less than two weeks since its release
• rabbit-hole, the most popular Go RabbitMQ HTTP API client, has reached version 2.2.0
• Merged an impressive pull request from GitHub user @joseliber that fixed the generation of password-encrypted certificates in the tls-gen project. This project is used by RabbitMQ, its client libraries, and other projects to easily generate self-signed certificates.
