Changes between 2.8.0 and 2.9.0 (Aug 26, 2026)

amq-protocol Now Requires Ruby 3.2

Ruby 3.0 and 3.1 are end of life. The URI parser now uses
URI.decode_uri_component, which Ruby 3.2 provides.

URI Components Are Percent-Decoded, Not Form-Decoded

AMQ::URI.parse decoded the username, password and virtual host with
CGI.unescape, so a password such as pa+ss was parsed as pa ss and failed
to authenticate. They are now percent-decoded; use %20 where a + used to
mean a space.

Changes between 2.7.0 and 2.8.0 (Apr 25, 2026)

Performance Improvements in Frame Decoding and Encoding

Replacing x == nil with x.nil? in the frame layer hot path yields a consistent +15–18% throughput improvement in Frame.decode_header (called on every received frame) and +12–14% in HeartbeatFrame.encode, across Ruby 3.3, 3.4, and 4.0.

See benchmarks/BENCHMARKS.md for instructions on how to reproduce these numbers on your machine.

Changes between 2.5.1 and 2.6.0 (Mar 30, 2026)

Channel.Close Predicate Methods

Channel::Close now provides predicate methods for identifying common
channel closure reasons by reply code and text:

• #delivery_ack_timeout?: consumer delivery acknowledgement timeout
• #unknown_delivery_tag?: unknown delivery tag (e.g. double ack)
• #message_too_large?: message exceeded the configured max size

Windows Installation Fixes

2.4.0 and 2.5.0 versions unintentionally included files that were
symlinks, which caused installation on Windows to fail.

Changes between 2.3.4 and 2.4.0 (Dec 30, 2025)

Performance Improvements

Optimized encoding and decoding hot paths:

• Built-in Q>/q> packing/unpacking directives are 6-7x faster than the original implementation (that originally targeted Ruby 1.8.x)
• Switched to unpack1 instead of unpack().first throughout
• Use byteslice instead of slice for binary string operations
• Use getbyte for single byte access (4x faster than alternatives)
• Adopted frozen_string_literal pragma

The improvements on Ruby 3.4 are very meaningful:

• AMQ::Pack.pack_uint64_big_endian: about 6.6x faster
• AMQ::Pack.unpack_uint64_big_endian: about 7.2x faster
• Basic.Deliver.decode: about 1.7x faster
• Basic.Ack/Nack/Reject.encode: about 2.5x faster
