Versions

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.

2.16.0

Full release notes.

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

2.15.0

Full release notes.

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

Full release notes.

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 and addressSize 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

Full release notes.

Highlights:

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
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.message.handlers=AUDIT_FILE
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.message.useParentHandlers=false

...

#Audit logger
handler.AUDIT_FILE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.PeriodicRotatingFileHandler
handler.AUDIT_FILE.level=INFO
handler.AUDIT_FILE.properties=suffix,append,autoFlush,fileName
handler.AUDIT_FILE.suffix=.yyyy-MM-dd
handler.AUDIT_FILE.append=true
handler.AUDIT_FILE.autoFlush=true
handler.AUDIT_FILE.fileName=${artemis.instance}/log/audit.log
handler.AUDIT_FILE.formatter=AUDIT_PATTERN

formatter.AUDIT_PATTERN=org.jboss.logmanager.formatters.PatternFormatter
formatter.AUDIT_PATTERN.properties=pattern
formatter.AUDIT_PATTERN.pattern=%d [AUDIT](%t) %s%E%n

2.12.0

Full release notes.

  • Automatic creation of expiry resources
  • Improved API for queue creation
  • Allow users to override JAVA_ARGS via environment variable
  • Reduce heap usage during journal loading during broker start-up
  • Allow server header in STOMP CONNECTED 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 the acceptor which has the problem.
  • The CLI will now read the broker.xml to find the default connector URL for commands which require it (e.g. consumer, producer, etc.)

2.11.0

Full release notes.

Highlights:

2.10.0

Full release notes.

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

Full release notes.

This was a light release. It included a handful of bug fixes, a few improvements, and one major new feature.

Highlights:

2.8.1

Full release notes.

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" \
On Windows

Locate this part of JAVA_ARGS in etc/artemis.profile.cmd respectively bin/artemis-service.xml:

-Xbootclasspath/a:%ARTEMIS_HOME%\lib\jboss-logmanager-2.1.10.Final.jar

This needs to be replaced with this:

-Xbootclasspath/a:%ARTEMIS_HOME%\lib\jboss-logmanager-2.1.10.Final.jar;%ARTEMIS_HOME%\lib\wildfly-common-1.5.1.Final.jar

2.6.0

Full release notes.

Highlights:

2.5.0

Full release notes.

Highlights:

Upgrading from 2.4.0

  1. Due to changes from ARTEMIS-1644 any acceptor that needs to be compatible with HornetQ and/or Artemis 1.x clients needs to have anycastPrefix=jms.queue.;multicastPrefix=jms.topic. in the acceptor 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.

2.4.0

Full release notes.

Highlights:

Upgrading from 2.3.0

  1. Create <ARTEMIS_INSTANCE>/etc/management.xml. At the very least, the file must contain this:

    <management-context xmlns="http://activemq.org/schema"/>
    

    This configures role based authorisation for JMX. Read more in the Management documentation.

  2. 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

Full release notes.

Highlights:

Upgrading from 2.2.0

  1. 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
