We are pleased to announce that Spring AMQP for Java 1.0 RC2 is now available.

For details about the changes since RC1, please review the Release Notes here

In addition to a few bug fixes, this release provides the following:

• Support for Exchange-to-Exchange bindings as well as custom Exchange types
• Improved re-connection support
• Added ChannelListener callback
• Clarified Binding builder API semantics
• Added a MessageProperties conversion strategy interface
• Improved namespace coverage (e.g. <rabbit:template>)
• Upgraded to RabbitMQ client version 2.5.0

Since this is intended to be our final pre-GA release, please take some time to try it out. In fact if you have a chance, really try to push the limits so that we know we're ready for prime time.

Thanks!
The Spring AMQP Team
