Description

We use qpid_proton gem in RedHat CloudForms to capture events from ActiveMQ queue. Recently we discovered a blocking bug in this gem which results in client connection being disconnected every 2-3 minutes accompanied with file descriptor leakage bug as described here:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1782 and
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1791

Both issues are fixed by now and merged qpid_proton master branch, many thanks to aconway, astitcher, jdanek for amazing response time.

 

I'm opening this ticket to discuss release plans for the qpid_proton gem. CloudForms is about to be released first week in April and our initial plan was to monkey-patch the gem to include those fixes. It turns our, however, that changes modify gem's core to much to do the monkey-patching, hence we decided to wait for you guys to perform the next release.

 

Q: Do you happen to know specific date when releasing new gem version is supposed to happen? I remember we mentioned "within a couple of weeks" here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1782?focusedCommentId=16401841&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-16401841 , but we would need as good estimate as possible since we need to communicate to customers how long they need to wait

 

Thanks for your great work, looking forward to be hearing from you!
