We are pleased to announce the second milestone of Spring AMQP 1.6 is available.

Additions since the first milestone include:

• The caching connection factory now exposes cache statistics

• @RabbitListener methods now communicate type information to the message converter for inbound messages. This means, for example, the Jackson2JsonMessageConverter no longer needs a custom class mapper when a message without type information in the headers is received (e.g. from a sender that is not a Spring AMQP app). Instead, the @RabbitListener method parameter type is used in the conversion. In addition, the Method and bean are also made available via message properties to custom converters.

I am pleased to announce that the spring-kafka (Spring for Apache Kafka) first milestone is now available (1.0.0.M1).

The existing spring-integration-kafka extension project - currently at version 1.3.0.RELEASE supports Kafka 0.8.x.x and is used in Spring XD (Kafka MessageBus) and Spring Cloud Stream (Kafka Binder).

This new project (spring-kafka) breaks out the core components into a separate project. It is based on the new 0.9.0.x pure Java Kafka clients.

spring-kafka brings the familiar Spring programming model to Apache Kafka for any Spring user, not just those using Spring Integration. An upcoming spring-integration-kafka release will be a complete rewrite, utilizing the spring-kafka…

We are pleased to announce the availability of the first milestone of the 1.6 version of Spring AMQP.

Some highlights of this release:

• A new jar spring-rabbit-test containing a test harness to help with testing @RabbitListener methods; see the testing chapter.

• Multiple @RabbitListener annotations on a method (when using Java 8) and the @RabbitListeners annotation (for pre-Java 8), each allowing the same method to be the listener method for multiple listener containers.

• Full support for the Delayed Message Exchange RabbitMQ plugin.

• An AsyncRabbitTemplate returning ListenableFuture<?> for request/reply messaging.

• An option to publish ApplicationEvents when listener containers go idle.

Metrics

We are pleased to announce that the release candidate for the 1.5 release (1.5.0.RC1) is now available.

New features and improvements in this release include:

Enhanced HA Queue Support

The high availability queue support has been enhanced in that you can configure a listener container to connect to the broker that is currently the master for the container's queue. If the connection is lost, the new master is determined and a connection to that broker is established.

RabbitTemplate Blocking Receive

It is now possible to use the the RabbitTemplate to receive ad-hoc messages. Previously, only a non-blocking receive()…

##Zookeeper Support

Several components have been added that use zookeeper, including a LockRegistry and MetadataStore but probably the most significant is the ability to assign endpoints to a leadership Role, with the endpoint lifecycle being controlled by the leadership status.
