That's great news, Simon. The policy configuration for mirrored queues and federation is exactly what I need!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 19, 2012 at 1:04 PM, Simon MacMullen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:simon@rabbitmq.com" target="_blank">simon@rabbitmq.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi everyone! We've just put in place a nightly build system for the RabbitMQ server and clients. You can download nightlies from <a href="http://www.rabbitmq.com/nightly-builds.html" target="_blank">http://www.rabbitmq.com/<u></u>nightly-builds.html</a><br>
<br>
We've also put documentation for what will be the next version of RabbitMQ at <a href="http://next.rabbitmq.com/documentation.html" target="_blank">http://next.rabbitmq.com/<u></u>documentation.html</a>.<br>
<br>
We're evolving towards a model where we have feature releases every few months, with bugfix releases in between. It's possible there will be a 2.8.8 bugfix release, but that's not what the current nightlies are - they represent what will be RabbitMQ 3.0.<br>
<br>
So with some caveats in place:<br>
<br>
* Obviously we do not suggest running nightlies on production systems.<br>
<br>
* We don't always guarantee upgrades from one nightly to another will<br>
work - you may have to reset everything and start again sometimes.<br>
<br>
* You would also have to reset everything and start again to revert to<br>
a stable release from a nightly.<br>
<br>
...I'd invite you to have a look at what's coming, and tell use what you think.<br>
<br>
I'm going to write more on the subject as we get closer to the release, but some of the major new features include:<br>
<br>
* HA queues are configured dynamically by a new policy mechanism,<br>
rather than by declaring them with "x-ha-policy". HA-ness<br>
can be changed at any time. HA queues are also much faster.<br>
<br>
* Federated exchanges are now normal exchanges, with federation<br>
similarly configured dynamically by policy. The "x-federation"<br>
exchange type is no more.<br>
<br>
* Clustering commands in rabbitmqctl have been rewritten to make<br>
clustering easier and more robust.<br>
<br>
* Web-STOMP and MQTT plugins are included.<br>
<br>
* Lots of other smaller new features and bug fixes.<br>
<br>
The network protocol hasn't changed; you can run 2.x clients against 3.x server and vice versa.<br>
<br>
So please try it out, and talk to us!<br>
<br>
Cheers, Simon<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
