RabbitMQ 3.12.0
This release includes several new features, optimizations, and graduates (makes mandatory) a number of feature flags.
The user-facing areas that have seen the biggest improvements in this release are
*Optimizations for both quorum and classic queues: improved throughput, lower throughput variability, lower latency, lower memory footprint
*More mature and efficient implementation of (non-mirrored) classic queues v2 (CQv2)
*Classic queue lazy and non-lazy modes no longer apply: classic queues v2 always behave very similarly
to the lazy mode in earlier release series: moving data to disk aggressively and only keeping a subset of data in memory
*Significantly reduced MQTT and Web MQTT memory footprint per connection
*OAuth 2, OIDC, IDP support
*Even more configurability of the OAuth 2 plugin
