0.8.0

0.8.0 is minor feature release. It targets RabbitMQ 3.6.x. For 3.7.0 (including preview releases), see individual cluster formation plugins.

General Changes

• Locking support in discovery backends. This is an alternative solution to randomized startup delay.
  Both strive to address the natural race condition during initial cluster formation. Backends
  are not required to implement locking support, just like they are not required to support node registration.

AWS Backend

• The AWS library used by this backend no longer tries to fetch instance metadata
  when it is first loaded. Previously it was happening even if a backend different from AWS was used.
