[rabbitmq-discuss] Support for AMQP 0.10 and 1.0 versions

[Gotthard, Petr]

Hello,

The trouble is that AMQP 1.0 and AMQP 0.9.1 are both called "AMQP". And since 0.9.1 < 1.0 many people think that AMQP 1.0 is the most advanced version. From this perspective it is hard to explain why the brand new RabbitMQ 3.0 still sticks to the "outdated" AMQP 0.9.1.

There is a slowly increasing fear that by sticking with RabbitMQ we become left in an isolated island of 0.9.1 in a world where everyone else will talk 1.0.

Eduardo,

Currently 0-9-1 has the best support across many clients and app
frameworks.  Any 1.0 support will be able to 'bridge' into this much
as you can with (eg) STOMP and MQTT today.  The point being that
using Rabbit right now, keeps you on a happy path.
