ANN RabbitMQ Java Client 5.5.0 Release Candidate 1 is released

[Arnaud Cogoluègnes]

On behalf of the RabbitMQ team I'm happy to announce that the RabbitMQ
Java Client library 5.5.0 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 few days.

This is a pre-release for 5.5.0, a maintenance release with 2 new
features and a bug fix. It is compatible with 5.5.x. All users of the
5.x.x series are encouraged to test this version.

* Add traffic listener
* Connection recovery runs into timeouts when using NIO
* Provide factories to create NIO artefacts

Consult the release change for more details [1].
