3.6.x Series Support Timeline

Please read this node on RabbitMQ 3.6.x series support
timeline.

Core Server

Bug Fixes

• Avoid infinite loop when dropping entries in the GM.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq-server#1431

• Various changes to the OCF scripts.

  Github issues: rabbitmq-server-release#66,
  rabbitmq-server-release#67,
  rabbitmq-server-release#73

Enhancements

• Internal authN backend will now prohibit logins with a blank passwords. Such attempts
  are usually made by mistake because a passwordless user that was meant to authenticate
  using x509 (TLS) certificates was not configured to use the correct authentication
  mechanism.

  Note that the same behavior can already be achieved using a credential validator,
  so this is just an extra safety measure.
