What is RabbitMQ?

Two parallel trains, and the 'maintenance' label is now hiding real feature work

RabbitMQ is maintaining 4.2.x and 4.3.x side by side, cutting matching patches into both on the same day, and both trains raised their floor to Erlang/OTP 27. Most of the window is correctness work in the Raft-backed subsystems — quorum queues losing metrics after a restart, leaders committing log entries too optimistically, classic queue index paths accumulating slashes, topic bindings with empty routing keys matching everything. The newest 4.3.5, however, is labelled a maintenance release while carrying encrypted management-UI login tokens, a new authentication logging category, ETag support on the definitions endpoint, and a self-deleting Shovel TTL.

What is Zoho Creator?

HDS certification opens French healthcare to Zoho Creator's EU stack

The only recent product-state signal for Zoho Creator is the HDS (Hébergeur de Données de Santé) certification announced May 22, running on Zoho-owned and -operated EU data centres. The rest of the visible feed is older marketing and analyst-relations content stretching back to 2019, making short-term release cadence hard to read from this surface alone.

Two parallel trains, and the 'maintenance' label is now hiding real feature work

◆ Current state

RabbitMQ is maintaining 4.2.x and 4.3.x side by side, cutting matching patches into both on the same day, and both trains raised their floor to Erlang/OTP 27. Most of the window is correctness work in the Raft-backed subsystems — quorum queues losing metrics after a restart, leaders committing log entries too optimistically, classic queue index paths accumulating slashes, topic bindings with empty routing keys matching everything. The newest 4.3.5, however, is labelled a maintenance release while carrying encrypted management-UI login tokens, a new authentication logging category, ETag support on the definitions endpoint, and a self-deleting Shovel TTL.

◆ Where it's heading

The bug pattern remains the tell: nearly every fix is in quorum queues, Khepri or Raft, which is where RabbitMQ moved its metadata and durability story after 4.3.0 removed Mnesia and partition-handling strategies outright. Layered on top is a steady tightening of the operational perimeter — protocol parsers rejecting malformed input strictly across AMQP 1.0, MQTT 5.0 and STOMP, pre-authentication frame limits on stream connections, HTTP API endpoints validating node membership, and headers that stop disclosing supported methods. Feature work is arriving inside patch releases rather than waiting for a minor.

◆ Prediction

Expect the 4.2.x train to slow toward end-of-life while 4.3.x patches keep absorbing both Khepri edge cases and security-surface work. The encrypted login token, currently opt-in behind a shared cluster secret, is the kind of setting that gets promoted to a default once rolling-upgrade friction is behind it.

HDS certification opens French healthcare to Zoho Creator's EU stack

◆ Current state

The only recent product-state signal for Zoho Creator is the HDS (Hébergeur de Données de Santé) certification announced May 22, running on Zoho-owned and -operated EU data centres. The rest of the visible feed is older marketing and analyst-relations content stretching back to 2019, making short-term release cadence hard to read from this surface alone.

◆ Where it's heading

Zoho is leaning on its sovereign EU infrastructure as the competitive lever — owning and operating the data centres and stacking country-specific certifications that SaaS-only low-code competitors (Mendix, OutSystems, Microsoft Power Apps) cannot match cleanly. Outside this compliance push, the changelog provides almost no signal: an AI-plus-low-code marketing post from March 2025 is the most recent item besides the cert.

◆ Prediction

Expect more jurisdiction-specific compliance certifications on the same EU-self-hosted stack — additional healthcare or public-sector attestations are the obvious next steps. The lack of release cadence visible in this feed suggests Creator's product news lives in a different channel; what surfaces here is likely to keep being market-access milestones rather than feature shipments.
