RabbitMQ 3.12.12

RabbitMQ 3.12.12 is a maintenance release in the 3.12.x release series.

This release goes out of community support on June 1st, 2024.

Please refer to the upgrade section from the 3.12.0 release notes
if upgrading from a version prior to 3.12.0.

This release requires Erlang 25 and supports Erlang versions up to 26.2.x.
RabbitMQ and Erlang/OTP Compatibility Matrix has more details on
Erlang version requirements for RabbitMQ.

Minimum Supported Erlang Version

As of 3.12.0, RabbitMQ requires Erlang 25. Nodes will fail to start on older Erlang releases.

Users upgrading from 3.11.x (or older releases) on Erlang 25 to 3.12.x on Erlang 26
(both RabbitMQ and Erlang are upgraded at the same time) must consult
the v3.12.0 release notes first.

Changes Worth Mentioning

Release notes can be found on GitHub at rabbitmq-server/release-notes.

Core Broker

Bug Fixes

• Environments with a lot of quorum queues could experience a large Erlang process
  build-up. The build-up was temporary but with a sufficiently large number of
  quorum queues it could last until the next round of periodic operations,
  making it permanent and depriving the node of CPU resources.

  GitHub issue: #10242

• RabbitMQ core failed to propagate more authentication and authorization context, for example,
  MQTT client ID in case of MQTT connections, to authN and authZ backends. This was not intentional.

  GitHub issue: #10230

• Nodes now takes more precaution about persisting feature flag state
  (specifically the effects of in-flight changes) during node shutdown.

  GitHub issue: #10279
