RHBA-2011:0771 - qpid-cpp bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

qpid-cpp bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated qpid-cpp packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Description

The qpid-cpp packages provide a message broker daemon that receives, stores and routes messages using the open AMQP messaging protocol along with run-time libraries for AMQP client applications developed using Qpid C++. Clients exchange messages with an AMQP message broker using the AMQP protocol

The qpid-cpp package has been upgraded to upstream version 0.10, which provides numerous improvements over the previous version. (BZ#675821, BZ#631002)

These updated qpid-cpp packages provide fixes for the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, qpid-cpp man pages were generated using the help2man package. However, if the package was not installed on the system, the man pages were built incorrectly. With this update, man pages are now correctly generated without the help2man package. (BZ#615000)

  • A qmf agent caused a running broker to crash when the message queue limits were exceeded. This was due to the corruption of various lists/maps in the broker's management agent. This update modifies all the corrupted lists/maps and a qmf agent no longer crashes a broker. (BZ#617260)

In addition, these updated packages provide the following enhancements:

  • The QMFv2 C++ library and the QMFv2 Ruby binding have been added to the qpid-cpp component. (BZ#659098)

  • QMFv1 now supports multiple brokers for a QMF namespace. (BZ#662826)

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated qpid-cpp packages, which resolve these issues and add these enhancements.
