RabbitMQ 3.13.2

RabbitMQ 3.13.2 is a maintenance release in the 3.13.x release series.
This series is covered by community support through Feb 28, 2025 and extended commercial support through Aug 31, 2025.

Please refer to the upgrade section from the 3.13.0 release notes
if upgrading from a version prior to 3.13.0.

This release requires Erlang 26 and supports Erlang versions up to 26.2.x.
RabbitMQ and Erlang/OTP Compatibility Matrix has more details on
Erlang version requirements for RabbitMQ.

Minimum Supported Erlang Version

As of 3.13.0, RabbitMQ requires Erlang 26. Nodes will fail to start on older Erlang releases.

Users upgrading from 3.12.x (or older releases) on Erlang 25 to 3.13.x on Erlang 26
(both RabbitMQ and Erlang are upgraded at the same time) must consult
the v3.12.0 release notes and v3.13.0 release notes first.

  cluster_formation.k8s.tls.keyfile = /path/to/client/tls/private_key.pem
