RabbitMQ Server Files

RabbitMQ 4.1.5 is a maintenance release in the 4.1.x release series.

It is strongly recommended that you read 4.1.0 release notes in detail if upgrading from a version prior to 4.1.0.

Minimum Supported Erlang Version

RabbitMQ and Erlang/OTP Compatibility Matrix has more details on Erlang version requirements for RabbitMQ.

Nodes will fail to start on older Erlang releases.

Core Server

Bug Fixes

• Classic queues could run into a rare message store exception that resuulted in a loss of a few messages.

Special kudos to the contributors who have spent a very significant amount of time reproducing and debugging the issue: @lhoguin @lukebakken @trvrnrth @gomoripeti

GitHub issues: #14181, #14576

• Messages routed to quorum queues during or immediately before a network partition, in some cases were not re-republished internally in certain cases.

GitHub issue: #14589

• Quorum queues with disabled poison message handling (an unlimited number of redeliveries, which is not a recommended practice) could accumulate a significant number of Raft log segment files.

GitHub issues: #14202, #14458

Streams

Bug Fixes

• Streams declaration response was missing a leader field when the stream was declared via AMQP 1.0 or 0.9.1 (that is, not the RabbitMQ Stream Protocol).

CLI Tools

Bug Fixes

• Fixes JSON formatting of cluster nodes produced by rabbitmq-diagnostics status --formatter json

GitHub issue: #14509
