[rabbitmq-discuss] Erlang client now works on default and has some(important) API changes

[Chris Chew]

Hello Everyone.

Thank you for the update, Vlad.

Just to confirm...is it still recommended for an erlang client that
works against broker 2.0.0 to update the public umbrella to the
rabbitmq_v2_0_0 tag and build from there?

Thanks!

Chris Chew

The Erlang client was broken on default recently. We have now fixed it 
and it works with the latest version of the broker on default.
We recommend people that were using branches bug22993 or bug23024 to use

the version on default instead (if you were using the latest broker 
version and not 2.0.0).

Please note that there have been some API changes as well:

- 
amqp_connection:{start_network,start_direct,start_network_link,start_dir
ect_link}/{0,1} 
functions have been replaced by amqp_connection:start/{1,2}. Example
usages:

     amqp_connection:start(network).
     amqp_connection:start(direct).
     amqp_connection:start(network, #amqp_params{heartbeat = 20}).

- amqp_connection:start/{0,1} functions do not return ConnectionPid. 
They return {ok, ConnectionPid} or {error, Error} instead:

     {ok, ConnectionPid} = amqp_connection:start(network).

- amqp_connection:open_channel/1 does not return ChannelPid. It returns 
{ok, ChannelPid} or {error, Error} instead:

     {ok, ChannelPid} = amqp_connection:open_channel(ConnectionPid).


The edoc is to be updated soon.
We hope that this will be the final version of the API, but cannot 
guarantee this until the Erlang client will become officially supported.


Cheers,
Vlad.
