Core Server

Bug Fixes

  • TLS information delivered in Proxy protocol header is now attached to connection metrics as if it was provided by a non-proxying client.

    GitHub issue: #3175 contributed by @prefiks, sponsored by CloudAMQP

  • Classic queue shutdown now uses a much higher timeout (up to 10 minutes instead of 30 seconds).

    In environments with many queues (especially mirrored queues) and many consumers this means that the chance of queue indices rebuilding after node restart is now substantially lower.

    GitHub issue: #3409

  • Quorum queues no longer leak memory and disk space when a consumer is repeatedly added and cancelled on an empty queue.

    GitHub issue: #3445

Dependency Upgrades

  • observer_cli has been upgraded from 1.6.2 to 1.7.1
