TL;DR

Bunny 1.0.0.rc1 is released to rubygems.org.

This is a release candidate for 1.0, a major milestone for Bunny. It is 100% backwards compatible with 0.10.x.

Changes between Bunny 1.0.0.pre6 and 1.0.0.rc1

amq-protocol Update

Minimum amq-protocol version is now 1.8.0 which includes a bug fix for messages exactly 128 Kb in size.

Add timeout Bunny::ConsumerWorkPool#join

Bunny::ConsumerWorkPool#join now accepts an optional timeout argument.

Plans for 1.0.0 Final

We plan to release Bunny 1.0.0 on October 29th, 2013. The library has had its soaking period in the last few months and several issues were fixed during 0.10.x releases.

It has being adopted by many commercial users and fairly mature open source projects, such as Hutch.

Now is a good time to give Bunny a try, help us improve the documentation and report any usability issues you may find.
