## Changes between Bunny 1.1.0.rc1 and 1.1.0.rc2 ### Synchronized Session#create_channel and Session#close_channel Full bodies of `Bunny::Session#create_channel` and `Bunny::Session#close_channel` are now synchronized, which makes sure concurrent `channel.open` and subsequent operations (e.g. `exchange.declare`) do not result in connection-level exceptions (incorrect connection state transitions). ### Corrected Recovery Log Message Bunny will now use actual recovery interval in the log. Contributed by Chad Fowler. ## Changes between Bunny 1.1.0.pre2 and 1.1.0.rc1 ### Full Channel State Recovery Channel recovery now involves recovery of publisher confirms and transaction modes. ### TLS Without Peer Verification Bunny now successfully performs TLS upgrade when peer verification is disabled. Contributed by Jordan Curzon. ### Bunny::Session#with_channel Ensures the Channel is Closed `Bunny::Session#with_channel` now makes sure the channel is closed even if provided block raises an exception Contributed by Carl Hoerberg. ### Channel Number = 0 is Rejected `Bunny::Session#create_channel` will now reject channel number 0. ### Single Threaded Mode Fixes Single threaded mode no longer fails with ``` undefined method `event_loop' ``` ## Changes between Bunny 1.1.0.pre1 and 1.1.0.pre2 ### connection.tune.channel_max No Longer Overflows `connection.tune.channel_max` could previously be configured to values greater than 2^16 - 1 (65535). This would result in a silent overflow during serialization. The issue was harmless in practice but is still a bug that can be quite confusing. Bunny now caps max number of channels to 65535. This allows it to be forward compatible with future RabbitMQ versions that may allow limiting total # of open channels via server configuration. ### amq-protocol Update Minimum `amq-protocol` version is now `1.9.0` which includes bug fixes and performance improvements for channel ID allocator. ### Thread Leaks Fixes Bunny will now correctly release heartbeat sender when allocating a new one (usually happens only when connection recovers from a network failure). ## Changes between Bunny 1.0.0 and 1.1.0.pre1 ### Versioned Delivery Tag Fix Versioned delivery tag now ensures all the arguments it operates (original delivery tag, atomic fixnum instances, etc) are coerced to `Integer` before comparison. GitHub issues: #171. ### User-Provided Loggers Bunny now can use any logger that provides the same API as Ruby standard library's `Logger`: ``` ruby require "logger" require "stringio" io = StringIO.new # will log to `io` Bunny.new(:logger => Logger.new(io)) ``` ### Default CA's Paths Are Disabled on JRuby Bunny uses OpenSSL provided CA certificate paths. This caused problems on some platforms on JRuby (see [jruby/jruby#155](https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/1055)). To avoid these issues, Bunny no longer uses default CA certificate paths on JRuby (there are no changes for other Rubies), so it's necessary to provide CA certificate explicitly. ### Fixes CPU Burn on JRuby Bunny now uses slightly different ways of continuously reading from the socket on CRuby and JRuby, to prevent abnormally high CPU usage on JRuby after a certain period of time (the frequency of `EWOULDBLOCK` being raised spiked sharply). ## Changes between Bunny 1.0.0.rc2 and 1.0.0.rc3 ### [Authentication Failure Notification](http://www.rabbitmq.com/auth-notification.html) Support `Bunny::AuthenticationFailureError` is a new auth failure exception that subclasses `Bunny::PossibleAuthenticationFailureError` for backwards compatibility. As such, `Bunny::PossibleAuthenticationFailureError`'s error message has changed. This extension is available in RabbitMQ 3.2+. ### Bunny::Session#exchange_exists? `Bunny::Session#exchange_exists?` is a new predicate that makes it easier to check if a exchange exists. It uses a one-off channel and `exchange.declare` with `passive` set to true under the hood. ### Bunny::Session#queue_exists? `Bunny::Session#queue_exists?` is a new predicate that makes it easier to check if a queue exists. It uses a one-off channel and `queue.declare` with `passive` set to true under the hood. ### Inline TLS Certificates and Keys It is now possible to provide inline client certificate and private key (as strings) instead of filesystem paths. The options are the same: * `:tls` which, when set to `true`, will set SSL context up and switch to TLS port (5671) * `:tls_cert` which now can be a client certificate (public key) in PEM format * `:tls_key` which now can be a client key (private key) in PEM format * `:tls_ca_certificates` which is an array of string paths to CA certificates in PEM format For example: ``` ruby conn = Bunny.new(:tls => true, :tls_cert => ENV["TLS_CERTIFICATE"], :tls_key => ENV["TLS_PRIVATE_KEY"], :tls_ca_certificates => ["./examples/tls/cacert.pem"]) ``` ## Changes between Bunny 1.0.0.rc1 and 1.0.0.rc2 ### Ruby 1.8.7 Compatibility Fixes Ruby 1.8.7 compatibility fixes around timeouts. ## Changes between Bunny 1.0.0.pre6 and 1.0.0.rc1 ### amq-protocol Update Minimum `amq-protocol` version is now `1.8.0` which includes a bug fix for messages exactly 128 Kb in size. ### Add timeout Bunny::ConsumerWorkPool#join `Bunny::ConsumerWorkPool#join` now accepts an optional timeout argument. ## Changes between Bunny 1.0.0.pre5 and 1.0.0.pre6 ### Respect RABBITMQ_URL value `RABBITMQ_URL` env variable will now have effect even if Bunny.new is invoked without arguments. ## Changes between Bunny 1.0.0.pre4 and 1.0.0.pre5 ### Ruby 1.8 Compatibility Bunny is Ruby 1.8-compatible again and no longer references `RUBY_ENGINE`. ### Bunny::Session.parse_uri `Bunny::Session.parse_uri` is a new method that parses connection URIs into hashes that `Bunny::Session#initialize` accepts. ``` ruby Bunny::Session.parse_uri("amqp://user:pwd@broker.eng.megacorp.local/myapp_qa") ``` ### Default Paths for TLS/SSL CA's on All OS'es Bunny now uses OpenSSL to detect default TLS/SSL CA's paths, extending this feature to OS'es other than Linux. Contributed by Jingwen Owen Ou. ## Changes between Bunny 1.0.0.pre3 and 1.0.0.pre4 ### Default Paths for TLS/SSL CA's on Linux Bunny now will use the following TLS/SSL CA's paths on Linux by default: * `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt` on Ubuntu/Debian * `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt` on Amazon Linux * `/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem` on OpenSUSE * `/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt` on Fedora/RHEL and will log a warning if no CA files are available via default paths or `:tls_ca_certificates`. Contributed by Carl HoĢˆrberg. ### Consumers Can Be Re-Registered From Bunny::Consumer#handle_cancellation It is now possible to re-register a consumer (and use any other synchronous methods) from `Bunny::Consumer#handle_cancellation`, which is now invoked in the channel's thread pool. ### Bunny::Session#close Fixed for Single Threaded Connections `Bunny::Session#close` with single threaded connections no longer fails with a nil pointer exception. ## Changes between Bunny 1.0.0.pre2 and 1.0.0.pre3 This release has **breaking API changes**. ### Safe[r] basic.ack, basic.nack and basic.reject implementation Previously if a channel was recovered (reopened) by automatic connection recovery before a message was acknowledged or rejected, it would cause any operation on the channel that uses delivery tags to fail and cause the channel to be closed. To avoid this issue, every channel keeps a counter of how many times it has been reopened and marks delivery tags with them. Using a stale tag to ack or reject a message will produce no method sent to RabbitMQ. Note that unacknowledged messages will be requeued by RabbitMQ when connection goes down anyway. This involves an API change: `Bunny::DeliveryMetadata#delivery_tag` is now and instance of a class that responds to `#tag` and `#to_i` and is accepted by `Bunny::Channel#ack` and related methods. Integers are still accepted by the same methods. ## Changes between Bunny 1.0.0.pre1 and 1.0.0.pre2 ### Exclusivity Violation for Consumers Now Raises a Reasonable Exception When a second consumer is registered for the same queue on different channels, a reasonable exception (`Bunny::AccessRefused`) will be raised. ### Reentrant Mutex Implementation Bunny now allows mutex impl to be configurable, uses reentrant Monitor by default. Non-reentrant mutexes is a major PITA and may affect code that uses Bunny. Avg. publishing throughput with Monitor drops slightly from 5.73 Khz to 5.49 Khz (about 4% decrease), which is reasonable for Bunny. Apps that need these 4% can configure what mutex implementation is used on per-connection basis. ### Eliminated Race Condition in Bunny::Session#close `Bunny::Session#close` had a race condition that caused (non-deterministic) exceptions when connection transport was closed before connection reader loop was guaranteed to have stopped. ### connection.close Raises Exceptions on Connection Thread Connection-level exceptions (including when a connection is closed via management UI or `rabbitmqctl`) will now be raised on the connection thread so they * can be handled by applications * do not start connection recovery, which may be uncalled for ### Client TLS Certificates are Optional Bunny will no longer require client TLS certificates. Note that CA certificate list is still necessary. If RabbitMQ TLS configuration requires peer verification, client certificate and private key are mandatory. ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0 and 1.0.0.pre1 ### Publishing Over Closed Connections Publishing a message over a closed connection (during a network outage, before the connection is open) will now correctly result in an exception. Contributed by Matt Campbell. ### Reliability Improvement in Automatic Network Failure Recovery Bunny now ensures a new connection transport (socket) is initialized before any recovery is attempted. ### Reliability Improvement in Bunny::Session#create_channel `Bunny::Session#create_channel` now uses two separate mutexes to avoid a (very rare) issue when the previous implementation would try to re-acquire the same mutex and fail (Ruby mutexes are non-reentrant). ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0.rc1 and 0.9.0.rc2 ### Channel Now Properly Restarts Consumer Pool In a case when all consumers are cancelled, `Bunny::Channel` will shut down its consumer delivery thread pool. It will also now mark the pool as not running so that it can be started again successfully if new consumers are registered later. GH issue: #133. ### Bunny::Queue#pop_waiting is Removed A little bit of background: on MRI, the method raised `ThreadErrors` reliably. On JRuby, we used a different [internal] queue implementation from JDK so it wasn't an issue. `Timeout.timeout` uses `Thread#kill` and `Thread#join`, both of which eventually attempt to acquire a mutex used by Queue#pop, which Bunny currently uses for continuations. The mutex is already has an owner and so a ThreadError is raised. This is not a problem on JRuby because there we don't use Ruby's Timeout and Queue and instead rely on a JDK concurrency primitive which provides "poll with a timeout". [The issue with `Thread#kill` and `Thread#raise`](http://blog.headius.com/2008/02/ruby-threadraise-threadkill-timeoutrb.html) has been first investigated and blogged about by Ruby implementers in 2008. Finding a workaround will probably take a bit of time and may involve reimplementing standard library and core classes. We don't want this issue to block Bunny 0.9 release. Neither we want to ship a broken feature. So as a result, we will drop Bunny::Queue#pop_waiting since it cannot be reliably implemented in a reasonable amount of time on MRI. Per issue #131. ### More Flexible SSLContext Configuration Bunny will now upgrade connection to SSL in `Bunny::Session#start`, so it is possible to fine tune SSLContext and socket settings before that: ``` ruby require "bunny" conn = Bunny.new(:tls => true, :tls_cert => "examples/tls/client_cert.pem", :tls_key => "examples/tls/client_key.pem", :tls_ca_certificates => ["./examples/tls/cacert.pem"]) puts conn.transport.socket.inspect puts conn.transport.tls_context.inspect ``` This also means that `Bunny.new` will now open the socket. Previously it was only done when `Bunny::Session#start` was invoked. ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0.pre13 and 0.9.0.rc1 ### TLS Support Bunny 0.9 finally supports TLS. There are 3 new options `Bunny.new` takes: * `:tls` which, when set to `true`, will set SSL context up and switch to TLS port (5671) * `:tls_cert` which is a string path to the client certificate (public key) in PEM format * `:tls_key` which is a string path to the client key (private key) in PEM format * `:tls_ca_certificates` which is an array of string paths to CA certificates in PEM format An example: ``` ruby conn = Bunny.new(:tls => true, :tls_cert => "examples/tls/client_cert.pem", :tls_key => "examples/tls/client_key.pem", :tls_ca_certificates => ["./examples/tls/cacert.pem"]) ``` ### Bunny::Queue#pop_waiting **This function was removed in v0.9.0.rc2** `Bunny::Queue#pop_waiting` is a new function that mimics `Bunny::Queue#pop` but will wait until a message is available. It uses a `:timeout` option and will raise an exception if the timeout is hit: ``` ruby # given 1 message in the queue, # works exactly as Bunny::Queue#get q.pop_waiting # given no messages in the queue, will wait for up to 0.5 seconds # for a message to become available. Raises an exception if the timeout # is hit q.pop_waiting(:timeout => 0.5) ``` This method only makes sense for collecting Request/Reply ("RPC") replies. ### Bunny::InvalidCommand is now Bunny::CommandInvalid `Bunny::InvalidCommand` is now `Bunny::CommandInvalid` (follows the exception class naming convention based on response status name). ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0.pre12 and 0.9.0.pre13 ### Channels Without Consumers Now Tear Down Consumer Pools Channels without consumers left (when all consumers were cancelled) will now tear down their consumer work thread pools, thus making `HotBunnies::Queue#subscribe(:block => true)` calls unblock. This is typically the desired behavior. ### Consumer and Channel Available In Delivery Handlers Delivery handlers registered via `Bunny::Queue#subscribe` now will have access to the consumer and channel they are associated with via the `delivery_info` argument: ``` ruby q.subscribe do |delivery_info, properties, payload| delivery_info.consumer # => the consumer this delivery is for delivery_info.consumer # => the channel this delivery is on end ``` This allows using `Bunny::Queue#subscribe` for one-off consumers much easier, including when used with the `:block` option. ### Bunny::Exchange#wait_for_confirms `Bunny::Exchange#wait_for_confirms` is a convenience method on `Bunny::Exchange` that delegates to the method with the same name on exchange's channel. ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0.pre11 and 0.9.0.pre12 ### Ruby 1.8 Compatibility Regression Fix `Bunny::Socket` no longer uses Ruby 1.9-specific constants. ### Bunny::Channel#wait_for_confirms Return Value Regression Fix `Bunny::Channel#wait_for_confirms` returns `true` or `false` again. ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0.pre10 and 0.9.0.pre11 ### Bunny::Session#create_channel Now Accepts Consumer Work Pool Size `Bunny::Session#create_channel` now accepts consumer work pool size as the second argument: ``` ruby # nil means channel id will be allocated by Bunny. # 8 is the number of threads in the consumer work pool this channel will use. ch = conn.create_channel(nil, 8) ``` ### Heartbeat Fix For Long Running Consumers Long running consumers that don't send any data will no longer suffer from connections closed by RabbitMQ because of skipped heartbeats. Activity tracking now takes sent frames into account. ### Time-bound continuations If a network loop exception causes "main" session thread to never receive a response, methods such as `Bunny::Channel#queue` will simply time out and raise Timeout::Error now, which can be handled. It will not start automatic recovery for two reasons: * It will be started in the network activity loop anyway * It may do more damage than good Kicking off network recovery manually is a matter of calling `Bunny::Session#handle_network_failure`. The main benefit of this implementation is that it will never block the main app/session thread forever, and it is really efficient on JRuby thanks to a j.u.c. blocking queue. Fixes #112. ### Logging Support Every Bunny connection now has a logger. By default, Bunny will use STDOUT as logging device. This is configurable using the `:log_file` option: ``` ruby require "bunny" conn = Bunny.new(:log_level => :warn) ``` or the `BUNNY_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable that can take one of the following values: * `debug` (very verbose) * `info` * `warn` * `error` * `fatal` (least verbose) Severity is set to `warn` by default. To disable logging completely, set the level to `fatal`. To redirect logging to a file or any other object that can act as an I/O entity, pass it to the `:log_file` option. ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0.pre9 and 0.9.0.pre10 This release contains a **breaking API change**. ### Concurrency Improvements On JRuby On JRuby, Bunny now will use `java.util.concurrent`-backed implementations of some of the concurrency primitives. This both improves client stability (JDK concurrency primitives has been around for 9 years and have well-defined, documented semantics) and opens the door to solving some tricky failure handling problems in the future. ### Explicitly Closed Sockets Bunny now will correctly close the socket previous connection had when recovering from network issues. ### Bunny::Exception Now Extends StandardError `Bunny::Exception` now inherits from `StandardError` and not `Exception`. Naked rescue like this ``` ruby begin # ... rescue => e # ... end ``` catches only descendents of `StandardError`. Most people don't know this and this is a very counter-intuitive practice, but apparently there is code out there that can't be changed that depends on this behavior. This is a **breaking API change**. ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0.pre8 and 0.9.0.pre9 ### Bunny::Session#start Now Returns a Session `Bunny::Session#start` now returns a session instead of the default channel (which wasn't intentional, default channel is a backwards-compatibility implementation detail). `Bunny::Session#start` also no longer leaves dead threads behind if called multiple times on the same connection. ### More Reliable Heartbeat Sender Heartbeat sender no longer slips into an infinite loop if it encounters an exception. Instead, it will just stop (and presumably re-started when the network error recovery kicks in or the app reconnects manually). ### Network Recovery After Delay Network reconnection now kicks in after a delay to avoid aggressive reconnections in situations when we don't want to endlessly reconnect (e.g. when the connection was closed via the Management UI). The `:network_recovery_interval` option passed to `Bunny::Session#initialize` and `Bunny.new` controls the interval. Default is 5 seconds. ### Default Heartbeat Value Is Now Server-Defined Bunny will now use heartbeat value provided by RabbitMQ by default. ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0.pre7 and 0.9.0.pre8 ### Stability Improvements Several stability improvements in the network layer, connection error handling, and concurrency hazards. ### Automatic Connection Recovery Can Be Disabled Automatic connection recovery now can be disabled by passing the `:automatically_recover => false` option to `Bunny#initialize`). When the recovery is disabled, network I/O-related exceptions will cause an exception to be raised in thee thread the connection was started on. ### No Timeout Control For Publishing `Bunny::Exchange#publish` and `Bunny::Channel#basic_publish` no longer perform timeout control (using the timeout module) which roughly increases throughput for flood publishing by 350%. Apps that need delivery guarantees should use publisher confirms. ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0.pre6 and 0.9.0.pre7 ### Bunny::Channel#on_error `Bunny::Channel#on_error` is a new method that lets you define handlers for channel errors that are caused by methods that have no responses in the protocol (`basic.ack`, `basic.reject`, and `basic.nack`). This is rarely necessary but helps make sure no error goes unnoticed. Example: ``` ruby channel.on_error |ch, channel_close| puts channel_close.inspect end ``` ### Fixed Framing of Larger Messages With Unicode Characters Larger (over 128K) messages with non-ASCII characters are now always encoded correctly with amq-protocol `1.2.0`. ### Efficiency Improvements Publishing of large messages is now done more efficiently. Contributed by Greg Brockman. ### API Reference [Bunny API reference](http://reference.rubybunny.info) is now up online. ### Bunny::Channel#basic_publish Support For :persistent `Bunny::Channel#basic_publish` now supports both `:delivery_mode` and `:persistent` options. ### Bunny::Channel#nacked_set `Bunny::Channel#nacked_set` is a counter-part to `Bunny::Channel#unacked_set` that contains `basic.nack`-ed (rejected) delivery tags. ### Single-threaded Network Activity Mode Passing `:threaded => false` to `Bunny.new` now will use the same thread for publisher confirmations (may be useful for retry logic implementation). Contributed by Greg Brockman. ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0.pre5 and 0.9.0.pre6 ### Automatic Network Failure Recovery Automatic Network Failure Recovery is a new Bunny feature that was earlier impemented and vetted out in [amqp gem](http://rubyamqp.info). What it does is, when a network activity loop detects an issue, it will try to periodically recover [first TCP, then] AMQP 0.9.1 connection, reopen all channels, recover all exchanges, queues, bindings and consumers on those channels (to be clear: this only includes entities and consumers added via Bunny). Publishers and consumers will continue operating shortly after the network connection recovers. Learn more in the [Error Handling and Recovery](http://rubybunny.info/articles/error_handling.html) documentation guide. ### Confirms Listeners Bunny now supports listeners (callbacks) on ``` ruby ch.confirm_select do |delivery_tag, multiple, nack| # handle confirms (e.g. perform retries) here end ``` Contributed by Greg Brockman. ### Publisher Confirms Improvements Publisher confirms implementation now uses non-strict equality (`<=`) for cases when multiple messages are confirmed by RabbitMQ at once. `Bunny::Channel#unconfirmed_set` is now part of the public API that lets developers access unconfirmed delivery tags to perform retries and such. Contributed by Greg Brockman. ### Publisher Confirms Concurrency Fix `Bunny::Channel#wait_for_confirms` will now correctly block the calling thread until all pending confirms are received. ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0.pre4 and 0.9.0.pre5 ### Channel Errors Reset Channel error information is now properly reset when a channel is (re)opened. GH issue: #83. ### Bunny::Consumer#initial Default Change the default value of `Bunny::Consumer` noack argument changed from false to true for consistency. ### Bunny::Session#prefetch Removed Global prefetch is not implemented in RabbitMQ, so `Bunny::Session#prefetch` is gone from the API. ### Queue Redeclaration Bug Fix Fixed a problem when a queue was not declared after being deleted and redeclared GH issue: #80 ### Channel Cache Invalidation Channel queue and exchange caches are now properly invalidated when queues and exchanges are deleted. ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0.pre3 and 0.9.0.pre4 ### Heartbeats Support Fixes Heartbeats are now correctly sent at safe intervals (half of the configured interval). In addition, setting `:heartbeat => 0` (or `nil`) will disable heartbeats, just like in Bunny 0.8 and [amqp gem](http://rubyamqp.info). Default `:heartbeat` value is now `600` (seconds), the same as RabbitMQ 3.0 default. ### Eliminate Race Conditions When Registering Consumers Fixes a potential race condition between `basic.consume-ok` handler and delivery handler when a consumer is registered for a queue that has messages in it. GH issue: #78. ### Support for Alternative Authentication Mechanisms Bunny now supports two authentication mechanisms and can be extended to support more. The supported methods are `"PLAIN"` (username and password) and `"EXTERNAL"` (typically uses TLS, UNIX sockets or another mechanism that does not rely on username/challenge pairs). To use the `"EXTERNAL"` method, pass `:auth_mechanism => "EXTERNAL"` to `Bunny.new`: ``` ruby # uses the EXTERNAL authentication mechanism conn = Bunny.new(:auth_method => "EXTERNAL") conn.start ``` ### Bunny::Consumer#cancel A new high-level API method: `Bunny::Consumer#cancel`, can be used to cancel a consumer. `Bunny::Queue#subscribe` will now return consumer instances when the `:block` option is passed in as `false`. ### Bunny::Exchange#delete Behavior Change `Bunny::Exchange#delete` will no longer delete pre-declared exchanges that cannot be declared by Bunny (`amq.*` and the default exchange). ### Bunny::DeliveryInfo#redelivered? `Bunny::DeliveryInfo#redelivered?` is a new method that is an alias to `Bunny::DeliveryInfo#redelivered` but follows the Ruby community convention about predicate method names. ### Corrected Bunny::DeliveryInfo#delivery_tag Name `Bunny::DeliveryInfo#delivery_tag` had a typo which is now fixed. ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0.pre2 and 0.9.0.pre3 ### Client Capabilities Bunny now correctly lists RabbitMQ extensions it currently supports in client capabilities: * `basic.nack` * exchange-to-exchange bindings * consumer cancellation notifications * publisher confirms ### Publisher Confirms Support [Lightweight Publisher Confirms](http://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2011/02/10/introducing-publisher-confirms/) is a RabbitMQ feature that lets publishers keep track of message routing without adding noticeable throughput degradation as it is the case with AMQP 0.9.1 transactions. Bunny `0.9.0.pre3` supports publisher confirms. Publisher confirms are enabled per channel, using the `Bunny::Channel#confirm_select` method. `Bunny::Channel#wait_for_confirms` is a method that blocks current thread until the client gets confirmations for all unconfirmed published messages: ``` ruby ch = connection.create_channel ch.confirm_select ch.using_publisher_confirmations? # => true q = ch.queue("", :exclusive => true) x = ch.default_exchange 5000.times do x.publish("xyzzy", :routing_key => q.name) end ch.next_publish_seq_no.should == 5001 ch.wait_for_confirms # waits until all 5000 published messages are acknowledged by RabbitMQ ``` ### Consumers as Objects It is now possible to register a consumer as an object instead of a block. Consumers that are class instances support cancellation notifications (e.g. when a queue they're registered with is deleted). To support this, Bunny introduces two new methods: `Bunny::Channel#basic_consume_with` and `Bunny::Queue#subscribe_with`, that operate on consumer objects. Objects are supposed to respond to three selectors: * `:handle_delivery` with 3 arguments * `:handle_cancellation` with 1 argument * `:consumer_tag=` with 1 argument An example: ``` ruby class ExampleConsumer < Bunny::Consumer def cancelled? @cancelled end def handle_cancellation(_) @cancelled = true end end # "high-level" API ch1 = connection.create_channel q1 = ch1.queue("", :auto_delete => true) consumer = ExampleConsumer.new(ch1, q) q1.subscribe_with(consumer) # "low-level" API ch2 = connection.create_channel q1 = ch2.queue("", :auto_delete => true) consumer = ExampleConsumer.new(ch2, q) ch2.basic_consume_with.(consumer) ``` ### RABBITMQ_URL ENV variable support If `RABBITMQ_URL` environment variable is set, Bunny will assume it contains a valid amqp URI string and will use it. This is convenient with some PaaS technologies such as Heroku. ## Changes between Bunny 0.9.0.pre1 and 0.9.0.pre2 ### Change Bunny::Queue#pop default for :ack to false It makes more sense for beginners that way. ### Bunny::Queue#subscribe now support the new :block option `Bunny::Queue#subscribe` support the new `:block` option (a boolean). It controls whether the current thread will be blocked by `Bunny::Queue#subscribe`. ### Bunny::Exchange#publish now supports :key again `Bunny::Exchange#publish` now supports `:key` as an alias for `:routing_key`. ### Bunny::Session#queue et al. `Bunny::Session#queue`, `Bunny::Session#direct`, `Bunny::Session#fanout`, `Bunny::Session#topic`, and `Bunny::Session#headers` were added to simplify migration. They all delegate to their respective `Bunny::Channel` methods on the default channel every connection has. ### Bunny::Channel#exchange, Bunny::Session#exchange `Bunny::Channel#exchange` and `Bunny::Session#exchange` were added to simplify migration: ``` ruby b = Bunny.new b.start # uses default connection channel x = b.exchange("logs.events", :topic) ``` ### Bunny::Queue#subscribe now properly takes 3 arguments ``` ruby q.subscribe(:exclusive => false, :ack => false) do |delivery_info, properties, payload| # ... end ``` ## Changes between Bunny 0.8.x and 0.9.0.pre1 ### New convenience functions: Bunny::Channel#fanout, Bunny::Channel#topic `Bunny::Channel#fanout`, `Bunny::Channel#topic`, `Bunny::Channel#direct`, `Bunny::Channel#headers`, and`Bunny::Channel#default_exchange` are new convenience methods to instantiate exchanges: ``` ruby conn = Bunny.new conn.start ch = conn.create_channel x = ch.fanout("logging.events", :durable => true) ``` ### Bunny::Queue#pop and consumer handlers (Bunny::Queue#subscribe) signatures have changed Bunny `< 0.9.x` example: ``` ruby h = queue.pop puts h[:delivery_info], h[:header], h[:payload] ``` Bunny `>= 0.9.x` example: ``` ruby delivery_info, properties, payload = queue.pop ``` The improve is both in that Ruby has positional destructuring, e.g. ``` ruby delivery_info, _, content = q.pop ``` but not hash destructuring, like, say, Clojure does. In addition we return nil for content when it should be nil (basic.get-empty) and unify these arguments betwee * Bunny::Queue#pop * Consumer (Bunny::Queue#subscribe, etc) handlers * Returned message handlers The unification moment was the driving factor. ### Bunny::Client#write now raises Bunny::ConnectionError Bunny::Client#write now raises `Bunny::ConnectionError` instead of `Bunny::ServerDownError` when network I/O operations fail. ### Bunny::Client.create_channel now uses a bitset-based allocator Instead of reusing channel instances, `Bunny::Client.create_channel` now opens new channels and uses bitset-based allocator to keep track of used channel ids. This avoids situations when channels are reused or shared without developer's explicit intent but also work well for long running applications that aggressively open and release channels. This is also how amqp gem and RabbitMQ Java client manage channel ids. ### Bunny::ServerDownError is now Bunny::TCPConnectionFailed `Bunny::ServerDownError` is now an alias for `Bunny::TCPConnectionFailed`
