Could you tell us more about what is not working? Does the logfile
contain anything relevant? Can you send a sample program that
illustrates the problem?

1335986940645: <Tracer-0> ch#0 ->
{#method<connection.start-ok>(client-properties={product=Pika Python
AMQP Client Library}, mechanism=PLAIN, response=
[ ... missing content ... ]
1335986940646: <Tracer-0> ch#0 <-
{#method<connection.tune>(channel-max=0, frame-max=131072, heartbeat=0),
null, ""}

Except for the line above the trace output looks normal. Did you edit
the output before sending? How does this output differ from what you see
with v2.8.1 ?

That entry will correspond to a client closing a connection without
sending an AMQP close method first - a harmless event.

No problems specific to release 2.8.2 have been reported. The latest
version is considered stable and releases are tested on Ubuntu.

The RabbitMQ bugtracker is not public at this time and the mailing list
is the correct place to report bugs.
