On behalf of the team and everyone who contributed, I am pleased to announce the first (and hopefully last) Release Candidate for 4.0.0 of Spring AMQP.

The patch versions 3.2.8 also has been released with bug fixes and dependency upgrades.

This Release Candidate comes with some internal imporvements, bug fixes and dependency upgrades to their latest major and minor versions.

See the Release Notes and What's New for more information.

This is the last chance to reach us out in GitHub issues with any feddback, so possible fixes would make it into GA release in November!

Cheers, 
Artem

What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?
