NServiceBus.RabbitMQ 4.4.1 - Patch release available

Announcements
1

Hi everyone,

We’ve just released NServiceBus.RabbitMQ 4.4.1.

Fixed bugs

  • #463 Minimum RabbitMQ.Client version throws NullReferenceException in HeartbeatReadTimerCallback
  • #458 New x-first-death headers are not removed before processing an incoming message
  • #456 Lazily creating publish connection prevents endpoint from sending messages

How to know if you are affected

  • You are affected by #463 if you are using version 4.1.0 of the RabbitMQ client.
  • You are affected by #458 if you are using version 3.7.0 or later of the RabbitMQ broker.
  • All users are potentially affected by #456, though using send-only endpoints puts you at greater risk.

Symptoms

  • A NullReferenceException is thrown at various points during an endpoint’s startup and shutdown, and RabbitMQ.Client.Framing.Impl.Connection.HeartbeatReadTimerCallback is in the exception’s call stack.
  • A message has x-first-death headers and the values contain incorrect information.
  • A BrokerUnreachableException is thrown when sending a message despite the broker actually being available.
  • A send-only endpoint starts successfully but does not create a connection to the broker.

Should you upgrade immediately

If you are affected, you should upgrade.
