On behalf of the RabbitMQ team I'm happy to announce that Lyra 0.5.5 is available. Lyra [1] is an automatic recovery wrapper around RabbitMQ Java Client.
Lyra 0.5.5 is backward compatible with 0.5.4, all users are encouraged to upgrade to this new version.
Here is the list of changes for this release:
* Pass in connection name to underlying AMQP connection
* Use a connection factory with automatic recovery disabled by default
* Add useDaemonThreads option to allow JVM to shutdown
