## RabbitMQ 3.7.20
RabbitMQ `3.7.20` is a maintenance release that focuses on bug fixes.
RabbitMQ `3.7.x` series is supported [through March 2020](https://www.rabbitmq.com/versions.html).
### Erlang/OTP Compatibility Notes
Per the new Erlang version support policy in effect starting with January 2019,
this release [**no longer supports Erlang/OTP 20.3**](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rabbitmq-users/G4UJ9zbIYHs/qCeyjkjyCQAJ).
Make sure a [supported Erlang version](https://www.rabbitmq.com/which-erlang.html) is used before upgrading.
[Provisioning Latest Erlang Releases](https://www.rabbitmq.com/which-erlang.html#erlang-repositories) explains
what package repositories and tools can be used to provision latest patch versions of Erlang `21.3.x` and `22.x`.
### Compatibility Notes
#### Upgrading to Erlang 21.x or Later Versions
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**.
#### Upgrade Doc Guides and Change Log
See [3.7.0 release notes](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/tag/v3.7.0) upgrade
and compatibility notes first if upgrading from an earlier release.
See the [Upgrading guide](https://www.rabbitmq.com/upgrade.html) for general documentation on upgrades
and [RabbitMQ change log](https://www.rabbitmq.com/changelog.html) for release notes of other releases.

## Changes
### Core Server
#### Bug Fixes
* Rolling cluster upgrade could fail if new versions were deployed to all cluster nodes at once instead
of a rolling upgrade-then-restart for each node individually.
GitHub issue: [rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#2132](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/2132)
* Improved error handling in a module that continuously registers the node with [epmd](https://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html) avoids
log noise.
GitHub issue: [rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#2130](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/2130)
### CLI Tools
#### Bug Fixes
* `rabbitmqctl await_startup` failed with an exception when effective timeout was set to `infinity`.
GitHub issue: [rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#2144](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/2144)
* `rabbitmq-diagnostics check_port_connectivity` produced a false positive in an IPv6-only environment.
Contributed by Gabriele Santomaggio.
GitHub issue: [rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli#385](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli/pull/385)
* `rabbitmq-diagnostics status`, `rabbitmq-diagnostics cluster_status`, `rabbitmq-diagnostics listeners` now support
`--formatter=erlang` (raw Erlang data structure output)
GitHub issue: [rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli#383](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli/issues/383)
### Kubernetes Peer Discovery Plugin
#### Bug Fixes
* Requests to Kubernetes API endpoints failed with an `nxdomain` (domain name resolution failure)
in an IPv6-only environment. Now the plugin will configure its HTTP[S] client to use IPv6 if
the [inetrc file](http://erlang.org/doc/apps/erts/inet_cfg.html) tells it to.
See [Using IPv6 for Inter-node Communication (and CLI Tools)](https://www.rabbitmq.com/networking.html#distribution-ipv6) to learn more.

the [inetrc file](http://erlang.org/doc/apps/erts/inet_cfg.html) tells it to.

### Consul Peer Discovery Plugin
#### Enhancements
* It is now possible to specify service metadata values:
``` ini
cluster_formation.consul.svc_meta.key1 = value1
cluster_formation.consul.svc_meta.key2 = value2
```
GitHub issue: [rabbitmq/rabbitmq-peer-discovery-consul#34](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-peer-discovery-consul/issues/34)
