>    space (in previous versions it was bounded by memory)
>  - rabbit optimises memory usage by paging messages out to / in from
>    disk as needed
>  - consistently high performance regardless of retained message

>    persisted message volume grew)
>  - consistently fast startup regardless of volume of persisted data
>    (previous versions would require time proportional to the amount
>    of data)
>  - better performance for concurrent transactions (in previous
>    version the rate at which queues could handle transactions
>    involving persistent messages was fixed)
> - implement AMQP 0-9-1, in addition to 0-8 - see
>  http://www.rabbitmq.com/specification.html
> - instrumentation for asynchronous statistics events, emitting more
>  stats than currently available and laying the foundation for
>  monitoring a busy broker without crippling performance -
>  see
> http://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2010/08/06/management-monitoring-and-statistics/
> - more effective flow control mechanism that does not require
>  cooperation from clients and reacts quickly to prevent the broker
>  from exhausing memory - see
> http://www.rabbitmq.com/extensions.html#memsup
> - implement basic.reject - see
>
> http://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2010/08/03/well-ill-let-you-go-basicreject-in-rabbitmq/
> - simplify plugin activation by moving it into the server startup
> - permit upgrades of Erlang w/o breaking rabbit servers with activated
>  plugins
> - introduce support for queue leases - see
> http://www.rabbitmq.com/extensions.html#queue-leases
> - improve the setting of permissions, making it easer to use and
>  introducing a way to grant no permissions at all - see
> http://www.rabbitmq.com/admin-guide.html#management
> - delete exclusive queues synchronously on server-initiated connection
>  close (rather than just client-initiated)
>
> java client
> -----------

>  arisen due to spurios thread wake-ups
>
> enhancements
> - switch to AMQP 0-9-1 - see

>  closed with an error.
> - make SSL connections work in Mono

> enhancements
> - implement AMQP 0-9-1, in addition to 0-8 and 0-9 - see
>  http://www.rabbitmq.com/specification.html
> - simplify the Subscription class and make it more versatile
> - improve documentation
>
> building & packaging
> --------------------
> bug fixes
> - correct location of rabbitmq.config file under macports - it now

> - "make docs_all" now works on more platforms

> enhancements
> - portable, binary plugin releases to simplify plugin installation -
>  see http://www.rabbitmq.com/plugins.html

>  installation
>
> Upgrading
> =========
> The database schema and the format in which persistent messages are
> stored have both changed since the last release (1.8.1). When
> starting, the RabbitMQ server will detect the existence of an old
> database and will move it to a backup location, before creating a
> fresh, empty database, and will log a warning. If your RabbitMQ
> installation contains important data then we recommend you contact
> support at rabbitmq.com for assistance with the upgrade.
