This chapter provides the following information for each release:
- A link to the full release notes which includes all issues resolved in the release.
- A brief list of "highlights" when applicable.
- If necessary, specific steps required when upgrading from the previous version.
- Note: If the upgrade spans multiple versions then the steps from each version need to be followed in order.
- Note: Follow the general upgrade procedure outlined in the Upgrading the Broker chapter in addition to any version-specific upgrade instructions outlined here.
2.25.0
Highlights:
- Improvement on Paging Flow Control
- Many other bug fixes and improvements
2.24.0
Highlights:
- Streamlined page caches and files are just read into queues without the need of soft caches.
Upgrading from older versions
-
Due to ARTEMIS-3851 the queue created for an MQTT 3.x subscriber using
CleanSession=1
is now non-durable rather than durable. This may impactsecurity-settings
for MQTT clients which previously only hadcreateDurableQueue
for their role. They will now needcreateNonDurableQueue
as well. Again, this only has potential impact for MQTT 3.x clients usingCleanSession=1
. -
Due to ARTEMIS-3892 the username assigned to queues will be based on the validated user rather than just the username submitted by the client application. This will impact use-cases like the following:
- When
login.config
is configured with theGuestLoginModule
which causes some users to be assigned a specific username and role during the authentication process. - When
login.config
is configured with theCertificateLoginModule
which causes users to be assigned a username and role corresponding to the subject DN from their SSL certificate.
In these kinds of situations the broker will use this assigned (i.e. validated) username for any queues created with the connection. In the past the queue's username would have been left blank.
- When
2.23.1
Highlights:
- ARTEMIS-3856 - Failed to change channel state to ReadyForWriting : java.util.ConcurrentModificationException
2.23.0
Highlights:
- management operations for the embedded web server.
- JakartaEE 10 Support
- BugFix: High cpu usage on ReadWrite locks
2.22.0
Highlights:
- The default
producer-window-size
oncluster-connection
was changed to 1MB to mitigate potential OutOfMemoryErrors in environments with with high latency networking.
2.21.0
Highlights:
- MQTT 5 is now supported.
- A new set of performance tools are now available to evaluate throughput and Response Under Load performance of Artemis
- Diverts now support multiple addresses
- Runtime configuration reloading now supports bridges.
- Paging can now be configured by message count.
Upgrading from older versions
-
Due to XML schema changes to correct an inaccurate domain name 2 files will need to be updated:
etc/bootstrap.xml
etc/management.xml
In both files change the XML namespace from
activemq.org
toactivemq.apache.org
, e.g. inbootsrap.xml
use:<broker xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/schema">
And in
management.xml
use:<management-context xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/schema">
-
If you're using JDBC persistence then due to the changes in ARTEMIS-3679 you'll need to update your database. The column
HOLDER_EXPIRATION_TIME
on theNODE_MANAGER_STORE
changed from aTIMESTAMP
to aBIGINT
(orNUMBER(19)
on Oracle). You will have to stop any broker that is accessing that table and either drop it or execute the properALTER TABLE
statement for your database. If you drop the table then it will be automatically recreated when broker restarts and repopulated with a new, auto-generated node ID.
2.20.0
Highlights:
- Java 11 is now required.
2.19.0
Highlights:
- New ability to replay retained journal records via the management API.
- New environment/system property to set the "key" for masked passwords when using the default codec.
- Ability to disable message-load-balancing and still allow redistribution
via the new
OFF_WITH_REDISTRIBUTION
type. - MQTT session state can now be cleaned up automatically to avoid excessive accumulation in situations where client's don't clean up their own sessions.
- Distribute full Jakarta Messaging 3.0 client in the
lib/client
directory along with a new example of how to use it inexamples/features/standard/queue-jakarta
.
2.18.0
Highlights:
- Dual Mirror support improving capabilities on AMQP Mirror for Disaster Recovery
- Journal Retention
- Replication integrated with Zookeeper
- Connection Routers
- Concurrency configuration for core bridges.
- XPath filter expressions (for parity with ActiveMQ "Classic").
Upgrading from older versions
-
Due to ARTEMIS-3367 the default setting for
verifyHost
on core connectors has been changed fromfalse
totrue
. This means that core clients will now expect theCN
or Subject Alternative Name values of the broker's SSL certificate to match the hostname in the client's URL.This impacts all core-based clients including core JMS clients and core connections between cluster nodes. Although this is a "breaking" change, not performing hostname verification is a security risk (e.g. due to man-in-the-middle attacks). Enabling it by default aligns core client behavior with industry standards. To deal with this you can do one of the following:
- Update your SSL certificates to use a hostname which matches the hostname in the client's URL. This is the recommended option with regard to security.
- Update any connector using
sslEnabled=true
to also useverifyHost=false
. Using this option means that you won't get the extra security of hostname verification, but no certificates will need to change. This essentially restores the previous default behavior.
For additional details about please refer to section 3.1 of RFC 2818 "HTTP over TLS".
-
Due to ARTEMIS-3117 SSL keystore and truststores are no longer reloaded automatically. Previously an instance of
javax.net.ssl.SSLContext
was created for every connection. This would implicitly pick up any changes to the keystore and truststore for any new connection. However, this was grossly inefficient and therefore didn't scale well with lots of connections. The behavior was changed so that just onejavax.net.ssl.SSLContext
is created for eachacceptor
. However, one can still reload keystores & truststores from disk without restarting the broker. Simply use thereload
management operation on theacceptor
. This is available via JMX, the web console, Jolokia, etc.Here's an example
curl
command you can use with Jolokia to invoke theartemis
acceptor'sreload
operation:curl --user admin:admin --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request POST --data '{"type":"exec", "mbean":"org.apache.activemq.artemis:broker=\"0.0.0.0\",component=acceptors,name=\"artemis\"", "operation":"reload"}' http://localhost:8161/console/jolokia/exec
Of course you'll want to adjust the username & password as well as the broker and acceptor names for your environment.
-
The "rate" metric for queues was removed from the web console via ARTEMIS-3397. This was a follow-up from ARTEMIS-2909 in 2.16.0 (referenced in the upgrade instructions below). The "rate" metric mistakenly left visible on the web console after it was removed from the management API.
-
Due to ARTEMIS-3141, ARTEMIS-3128, & ARTEMIS-3175 the data returned for any "list" or "browse" management method which return message data, including those exposed via the web console, will have their return data truncated by default. This is done to avoid adverse conditions with large volumes of message data which could potentially negatively impact broker stability. The
management-message-attribute-size-limit
address-setting controls this behavior. If you wish to restore the previous (and potentially dangerous behavior) then you can specify-1
for this. It is256
by default.
2.17.0
Highlights:
- Message-level authorization similar to ActiveMQ 5.x.
- A count of addresses and queues is now available from the management API.
- You can now reload the broker's configuration from disk via the management API rather than waiting for the periodic disk scan to pick it up
- Performance improvements on libaio journal.
- New command-line option to transfer messages.
- Performance improvements for the wildcard address manager.
- JDBC datasource property values can now be masked.
- Lots of usability improvements to the Hawtio 2 based web console introduced in 2.16.0
- New management method to create a core bridge using JSON-based configuration input.
- Jakarta Messaging 2.0 & 3.0 artifacts for Jakarta EE 8 & 9 respectively.
2.16.0
Highlights:
- Configurable namespace for temporary queues
- AMQP Server Connectivity
- "Basic"
SecurityManager
implementation that supports replication - Consumer window size support for individual STOMP clients
- Improved JDBC connection management
- New web console based on Hawtio 2
- Performance optimizations (i.e. caching) for authentication and authorization
- Support for admin objects in the JCA resource adapter to facilitate deployment into 3rd-party Java EE application servers
- Ability to prevent an acceptor from automatically starting
Upgrading from older versions
-
Due to ARTEMIS-2893 the fundamental way user management was implemented had to change to avoid data integrity issues related to concurrent modification. From a user's perspective two main things changed:
-
User management is no longer possible using the
artemis user
commands when the broker is offline. Of course users are still free to modify the properties files directly in this situation. -
The parameters of the
artemis user
commands changed. Instead of using something like this:./artemis user add --user guest --password guest --role admin
Use this instead:
./artemis user add --user-command-user guest --user-command-password guest --role admin
In short, use
user-command-user
in lieu ofuser
anduser-command-password
in lieu ofpassword
. Bothuser
andpassword
parameters now apply to the connection used to send the command to the broker.For additional details see ARTEMIS-2893 and ARTEMIS-3010
-
-
Due to ARTEMIS-2909 the "rate" metric was removed from the management API for queues. In short, the
org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server.Queue#getRate
method is for slow-consumer detection and is designed for internal use only.Furthermore, it's too opaque to be trusted by a remote user as it only returns the number of message added to the queue since the last time it was called. The problem here is that the user calling it doesn't know when it was invoked last. Therefore, they could be getting the rate of messages added for the last 5 minutes or the last 5 milliseconds. This can lead to inconsistent and misleading results.
There are three main ways for users to track rates of message production and consumption (in recommended order):
-
Use a metrics plugin. This is the most feature-rich and flexible way to track broker metrics, although it requires tools (e.g. Prometheus) to store the metrics and display them (e.g. Grafana).
-
Invoke the
getMessageCount()
andgetMessagesAdded()
management methods and store the returned values along with the time they were retrieved. A time-series database is a great tool for this job. This is exactly what tools like Prometheus do. That data can then be used to create informative graphs, etc. using tools like Grafana. Of course, one can skip all the tools and just do some simple math to calculate rates based on the last time the counts were retrieved. -
Use the broker's message counters. Message counters are the broker's simple way of providing historical information about the queue. They provide similar results to the previous solutions, but with less flexibility since they only track data while the broker is up and there's not really any good options for graphing.
-
2.15.0
Highlights:
- Ability to use FQQN syntax for both
security-settings
and JNDI lookup - Support pausing dispatch during group rebalance (to avoid potential out-of-order consumption)
- Socks5h support
2.14.0
Highlights:
- Management methods to update diverts
- Ability to "disable" a queue so that messages are not routed to it
- Support JVM GC & thread metrics
- Support for resetting queue properties by unsetting them in
broker.xml
- Undeploy diverts by removing them from
broker.xml
- Add
addressMemoryUsagePercentage
andaddressSize
as metrics
Upgrading from older versions
This is likely a rare situation, but it's worth mentioning here anyway. Prior
to 2.14.0 if you configured a parameter on a queue
in broker.xml
(e.g.
max-consumers
) and then later removed that setting the configured value you
set would remain. This has changed in 2.14.0 via ARTEMIS-2797. Any value that
is not explicitly set in broker.xml
will be set back to either the static
default or the dynamic default configured in the address-settings (e.g. via
default-max-consumers
in this example). Therefore, ensure any existing queues
have all the needed parameters set in broker.xml
values before upgrading.
2.13.0
Highlights:
- Management methods for an address' duplicate ID cache to check the cache's size and clear it
- Support for min/max expiry-delay

check
tool for checking the health of a broker - Support disabling metrics per address via the
enable-metrics
address setting - Improvements to the audit logging
- Speed optimizations for the
HierarchicalObjectRepository
, an internal object used to store address and security settings
Upgrading from older versions
Version 2.13.0 added new audit logging
which is logged at INFO
level and can be very verbose. The
logging.properties
shipped with this new version is set up to filter this out
by default. If your logging.properties
isn't updated appropriately this audit
logging will likely appear in your console and artemis.log
file assuming
you're using a logging configuration close to the default. Add this to your
logging.properties
:
# to enable audit change the level to INFO
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.base.level=ERROR
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.base.handlers=AUDIT_FILE
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.base.useParentHandlers=false
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.resource.level=ERROR
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.resource.handlers=AUDIT_FILE
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.resource.useParentHandlers=false
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.message.level=ERROR

frame to be disabled - Support disk store used percentage as an exportable metric (e.g. to be monitored by tools like Prometheus, etc.)
- Ability to configure a "customizer" for the embedded web server
- Improved logging for errors when starting an
acceptor
to more easily identify theacceptor
which has the problem. - The CLI will now read the
broker.xml
to find the defaultconnector

2.10.0
This was mainly a bug-fix release with a notable dependency change impacting version upgrade.
Upgrading from 2.9.0
Due to the WildFly dependency upgrade the broker start scripts/configuration need to be adjusted after upgrading.
On *nix
Locate this statement in bin/artemis
:
WILDFLY_COMMON="$ARTEMIS_HOME/lib/wildfly-common-1.5.1.Final.jar"
This needs to be replaced with this:
WILDFLY_COMMON="$ARTEMIS_HOME/lib/wildfly-common-1.5.2.Final.jar"
On Windows
Locate this part of JAVA_ARGS
in etc/artemis.profile.cmd
respectively bin/artemis-service.xml
:
%ARTEMIS_HOME%\lib\wildfly-common-1.5.1.Final.jar
This needs to be replaced with this:
%ARTEMIS_HOME%\lib\wildfly-common-1.5.2.Final.jar
2.9.0
This was a light release. It included a handful of bug fixes, a few improvements, and one major new feature.
Highlights:
- Support exporting metrics.
2.8.1
This was mainly a bug-fix release with a notable dependency change impacting version upgrade.
Upgrading from 2.8.0
Due to the dependency upgrade made on ARTEMIS-2319 the broker start scripts need to be adjusted after upgrading.
On *nix
Locate this if
statement in bin/artemis
:
if [ -z "$LOG_MANAGER" ] ; then
# this is the one found when the server was created
LOG_MANAGER="$ARTEMIS_HOME/lib/jboss-logmanager-2.0.3.Final.jar"
fi
This needs to be replaced with this block:
if [ -z "$LOG_MANAGER" ] ; then
# this is the one found when the server was created
LOG_MANAGER="$ARTEMIS_HOME/lib/jboss-logmanager-2.1.10.Final.jar"
fi
WILDFLY_COMMON=`ls $ARTEMIS_HOME/lib/wildfly-common*jar 2>/dev/null`
if [ -z "$WILDFLY_COMMON" ] ; then
# this is the one found when the server was created
WILDFLY_COMMON="$ARTEMIS_HOME/lib/wildfly-common-1.5.1.Final.jar"
fi
Notice that the jboss-logmanager
version has changed and there is also a new wildfly-common
library.
Not much further down there is this line:
-Xbootclasspath/a:"$LOG_MANAGER" \
This line should be changed to be:
-Xbootclasspath/a:"$LOG_MANAGER:$WILDFLY_COMMON" \

- Enhanced message count and size metrics for queues.
Upgrading from 2.4.0
- Due to changes from ARTEMIS-1644 any
acceptor
that needs to be compatible with HornetQ and/or Artemis 1.x clients needs to haveanycastPrefix=jms.queue.;multicastPrefix=jms.topic.
in theacceptor
url. This prefix used to be configured automatically behind the scenes when the broker detected these old types of clients, but that broke certain use-cases with no possible work-around. See ARTEMIS-1644 for more details.

- JMX configuration via XML rather than having to use system properties via command line or start script.
- Configuration of max frame payload length for STOMP web-socket.
- Ability to configure HA using JDBC persistence.
- Implement role-based access control for management objects.
Upgrading from 2.3.0
-
Create
<ARTEMIS_INSTANCE>/etc/management.xml
. At the very least, the file must contain this:<management-context xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/schema"/>
This configures role based authorisation for JMX. Read more in the Management documentation.
-
If configured, remove the Jolokia war file from the
web
element in<ARTEMIS_INSTANCE>/etc/bootstrap.xml
:<app url="jolokia" war="jolokia.war"/>
This is no longer required as the Jolokia REST interface is now integrated into the console web application.
If the following is absent and you desire to deploy the web console then add:
<app url="console" war="console.war"/>
Note: the Jolokia REST interface URL will now be at
http://<host>:<port>/console/jolokia
2.3.0
Highlights:
- Web admin console!
- Critical Analysis and deadlock detection on broker
- Support Netty native kqueue on Mac.
- Last-value queue for AMQP
Upgrading from 2.2.0
- If you desire to deploy the web console then add the following to the
web
element in<ARTEMIS_INSTANCE>/etc/bootstrap.xml
:<app url="console" war="console.war"/>
2.2.0
Highlights:
- Scheduled messages with the STOMP protocol.
- Support for JNDIReferenceFactory and JNDIStorable.
