| 1 | +## RabbitMQ 3.13.0 |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +RabbitMQ `3.12.0` is a new feature release. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Highlights |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +This release includes several new features, optimizations, and graduates (makes mandatory) a number of feature flags. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +The user-facing areas that have seen the biggest improvements in this release are |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +* Classic queues use version 2 of the format format. This should significantly improve performance. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +This release also features many internal API improvements in preparation to 4.0 |
| 14 | +with [Khepri](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huT-zmXvfuM). |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +See Compatibility Notes below to learn about breaking or potentially breaking changes in this release. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## Release Artifacts |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +RabbitMQ releases are distributed via [GitHub](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases). |
| 21 | +[Debian](https://rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html) and [RPM packages](https://rabbitmq.com/install-rpm.html) are available via Cloudsmith mirrors, as well as [PackageCloud](https://packagecloud.io/rabbitmq). |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +[Community Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/_/rabbitmq/), [Chocolatey package](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/rabbitmq), and the [Homebrew formula](https://rabbitmq.com/install-homebrew.html) |
| 24 | +are other installation options. They are updated with a delay (usually a few days). |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Erlang/OTP Compatibility Notes |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +This release [requires Erlang 25.0](https://www.rabbitmq.com/which-erlang.html) or later. |
| 30 | +This introduces feature parity for x86- and ARM64-based CPUs: Erlang 25 offers the JIT and |
| 31 | +[modern Flame Graph profiling](https://blog.rabbitmq.com/posts/2022/05/flame-graphs/) tooling |
| 32 | +for both of those major CPU architectures. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +[Provisioning Latest Erlang Releases](https://www.rabbitmq.com/which-erlang.html#erlang-repositories) explains |
| 35 | +what package repositories and tools can be used to provision latest patch versions of Erlang 25.x. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## Upgrading to 3.13 |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### Documentation guides on upgrades |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +See the [Upgrading guide](https://www.rabbitmq.com/upgrade.html) for documentation on upgrades and [RabbitMQ change log](https://www.rabbitmq.com/changelog.html) |
| 42 | +for release notes of other releases. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +### Required Feature Flags |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +### Mixed version cluster compatibility |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +RabbitMQ 3.13.0 nodes can run alongside `3.12.x` nodes. `3.12.x`-specific features can only be made available when all nodes in the cluster |
| 50 | +upgrade to 3.13.0 or any other patch release in the new series. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +While operating in mixed version mode, some aspects of the system may not behave as expected. The list of known behavior changes is covered below. |
| 53 | +Once all nodes are upgraded to 3.13.0, these irregularities will go away. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Mixed version clusters are a mechanism that allows rolling upgrade and are not meant to be run for extended |
| 56 | +periods of time (no more than a few hours). |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +## Compatibility Notes |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +### More Feature Flags Gratuate to Core Features ("Always Enabled") |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +### Minimum Supported Erlang Version |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Starting with this release, RabbitMQ requires Erlang 25.0 or later versions. Nodes **will fail to start** |
| 68 | +on older Erlang releases. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +Erlang 25 as our new baseline means much improved performance on ARM64 architectures, [profiling with flame graphs](https://blog.rabbitmq.com/posts/2022/05/flame-graphs/) |
| 71 | +across all architectures, and the most recent TLS 1.3 implementation available to all RabbitMQ 3.11 users. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +### Client Library Compatibility |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +Client libraries that were compatible with RabbitMQ `3.12.x` will be compatible with `3.13.0`. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | + |

| 84 | +## Changes Worth Mentioning |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +Release notes are kept under [rabbitmq-server/release-notes](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/tree/v3.11.x/release-notes). |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +### Core Server |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +#### Enhancements |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | + * Reduced memory footprint, improved memory use predictability and throughput of classic queues (version 2, or CQv2). |
| 93 | + This particularly benefits classic queues with longer backlogs. |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | + Classic queue v2 (CQv2) storage implementation **is now the default**. It is possible to switch |
| 96 | + the default back to CQv1 using `rabbitmq.conf`: |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | + ``` ini |
| 99 | + # uses CQv1 by default |
| 100 | + classic_queue.default_version = 1 |
| 101 | + ``` |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | + Individual queues can be declared by passing `x-queue-version` argument and/or through a `queue-version` policy. |
