[rabbitmq-discuss] [announcement] amqp gem 0.9.0 is released

[Michael Klishin]

amqp gem 0.9.0 is released to rubygems.org [1]. There were no changes between 0.9.0.pre3 and 0.9.0 final.
This release is completely backwards compatible with 0.8.x releases, all users are encouraged to upgrade.

== Bug fixes

* :default_routing_key value is now respected by AMQP::Exchange#initialize and AMQP::Exchange#publish. This is a rarely used feature but we saw one project relying on it, so it is now supported again.


== New features

* Automatic recovery mode [2] now works for publishers, see [3] and [4] for examples.


== CI status

Passing against every Ruby under the sun:

http://travis-ci.org/#!/ruby-amqp/amqp/builds/507046
http://travis-ci.org/#!/ruby-amqp/amq-client/builds/506918
http://travis-ci.org/#!/ruby-amqp/amq-protocol/builds/506862


== Next version

Next version will be 1.0. Here's what we have in mind for it:

 * Separate publisher entities that will automatically use publisher confirms.
 * Exchange to exchange binding support (the only RabbitMQ-specific extension amqp gem still does not support)
 * Finish and document Ruby on Rails integration.
 * Documentation guide updates (see http://rubyamqp.info)
 * Features and public API methods deprecated in 0.8.0 will be *removed completely*.
 * Automated interoperability test suite (at least with Java and JVM-based clients like Hot Bunnies [5] and Langohr [6])
