TL;DR

Hutch 0.7.0 is released to rubygems.org.

This release introduces several minor new features.

Changes Between 0.6.0 and 0.7.0

Optional HTTP API Use

It is now possible to make Hutch not use RabbitMQ HTTP API (e.g. when the RabbitMQ management plugin that provides it is not available).

Extra Arguments for Hutch::Broker#publish

Extra options passed to Hutch::Broker#publish will now be propagated.

Content-Type for Messages

Messages published with Hutch now have content type set to application/json.

Greater Heartbeat Interval

Hutch now uses heartbeat interval of 30, so heartbeats won’t interfere with transfers of large messages over high latency networks (e.g. between AWS availability regions).

Custom Queue Names

It is now possible to specify an optional queue name:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

class FailedPaymentConsumer
  include Hutch::Consumer
  consume 'gc.ps.payment.failed'
  queue_name 'failed_payments'

  def process(message)
    mark_payment_as_failed(message[:id])
  end
end

Global Properties for Publishers

Global properties can now be specified for publishing:

1
2
3

Hutch.global_properties = proc {
  { app_id: 'api', headers: { request_id: RequestId.request_id } }
}

Full change log can be found on GitHub.
