TL;DR

amqp gem 1.1.0 is released to rubygems.org.

This release includes a couple of usability improvements, internal code reorganization (amq-client is no longer used), amq-protocol update and more long time deprecated API elements removed.

All users are encouraged to upgrade.

Changes Between 1.0.0 and 1.1.0

amq-protocol Update

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

AMQ::Client is Removed

amq-client has been incorporated into amqp gem. AMQ::Client and related modules are no longer available.

AMQP::Channel#confirm_select is Now Delayed

AMQP::Channel#confirm_select is now delayed until after the channel is opened, making it possible to use it with the pseudo-synchronous code style.

RabbitMQ Extensions are Now in Core

amqp gem has been targeting RabbitMQ exclusively for a while now.

RabbitMQ extensions are now loaded by default and will be even more tightly integrated in the future.

AMQP::Channel.default is Removed

AMQP::Channel.default and method_missing-based operations on the default channel has been removed. They’ve been deprecated since 0.6.

AMQP::Channel#rpc is Removed

AMQP::RPC-related code has been removed. It has been deprecated since 0.7.

AMQP::Channel.on_error is Removed

Long time deprecated AMQP::Channel.on_error is removed.
