What’s New

This version requires Spring Framework 7.0.

As many other Spring portfolio projects, Spring AMQP has been migrated to JSpecify annotations to declare the nullness of API. The NullAway Gradle plugin is used to check the consistency of null-safety declarations.

The new spring-rabbitmq-client module (with same artifact name) is introduced. This is an implementation of AMQP 1.0 protocol specific to RabbitMQ since 4.0 and based on the com.rabbitmq.client:amqp-client library.

See RabbitMQ AMQP 1.0 Support for more information.

The latest JUnit 4 release was 4.13.2 in February 2021 and the next JUnit 6 will be based on Java 17. There is no need to keep outdated utilities, and the recommendation is to migrate to respective tools for JUnit Jupiter.

The Jackson 2 has been deprecated for removal in the whole Spring portfolio. Respective new classes have been introduced to support Jackson 3.

See Message Converters for more information.

The SimpleMessageListenerContainer now awaits at most shutdownTimeout for pending replies from the provided RabbitTemplate listener on its shutdown.

The Spring Retry API and usage in the project have been replaced with similar API from spring-core module. The respective org.springframework.retry:spring-retry dependency has been removed. This is a breaking change, but reasonable for the current new major generation of the whole Spring portfolio. See new convenient classes: StatelessRetryOperationsInterceptor and StatefulRetryOperationsInterceptor. The SendRetryContextAccessor was removed in favor of the MessageRecoverer contract. The replyTo address of the failure could be obtained from the ReplyFailureException propagated after retry exhausted into the mentioned MessageRecoverer.
