Spring AMQP 4.2.0-M2 Available

Releases | Glenn Renfro | September 24, 2026 | 1 min read | ...

On behalf of the team and everyone who contributed, I am pleased to announce the next milestone for the new Spring AMQP 4.2 minor version. The second milestone has made it to Maven Central.

Some notable changes in 4.2.0-M2:

  • Optimized target connection factory validation in AbstractRoutingConnectionFactory.
  • Exposed RetryListener configuration options on StatelessRetryOperationsInterceptor and RetryInterceptorBuilder.stateless() to allow tracking retry lifecycle and exhaustion events.
  • The @RabbitListener now emit an observation for replies, including asynchronous.
  • Reject deliveries individually to preserve the x-delivery-count logic with RabbitMQ 4.3.
  • Updated managed dependencies to their latest major and minor releases.

See What's New in 4.2 for more details.

We are heading now to code freeze in Release Candidate 1. Don't hesitate to reach us out in GitHub issues for the project with any feedback!

Cheers,
Glenn
