ANN RabbitMQ Java Client 4.0.0 Release Candidate 1 is released

[Arnaud Cogoluegnes]

On behalf of the RabbitMQ team I'm happy to announce that the RabbitMQ Java Client library 4.0.0 Release Candidate 1, a preview release, is available for community testing. This preview release is likely to be the last before a GA release in the next couple of weeks.

Here's a list of the main changes:

  - The release cycle is now decoupled from the server's.

  - Integration of the SLF4J logging library.

  - Support for runtime metrics through Dropwizard Metrics, with several

metrics backends (JMX, Ganglia, Graphite, etc).

  - Experimental support for Java NIO.

Please see the "next" version of the RabbitMQ website for the documentation [1].
