RHBA-2011:0771 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated qpid-cpp packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are
now available.

Description

The qpid-cpp packages provide a message broker daemon that receives, stores and
routes messages using the open AMQP messaging protocol along with run-time
libraries for AMQP client applications developed using Qpid C++. Clients
exchange messages with an AMQP message broker using the AMQP protocol

The qpid-cpp package has been upgraded to upstream version 0.10, which provides
numerous improvements over the previous version. (BZ#675821, BZ#631002)

These updated qpid-cpp packages provide fixes for the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, qpid-cpp man pages were generated using the help2man

package. However, if the package was not installed on the system, the man pages
were built incorrectly. With this update, man pages are now correctly generated
without the help2man package. (BZ#615000)

• A qmf agent caused a running broker to crash when the message queue limits

were exceeded. This was due to the corruption of various lists/maps in the
broker's management agent. This update modifies all the corrupted lists/maps and
a qmf agent no longer crashes a broker. (BZ#617260)

In addition, these updated packages provide the following enhancements:

• The QMFv2 C++ library and the QMFv2 Ruby binding have been added to the

qpid-cpp component. (BZ#659098)

• QMFv1 now supports multiple brokers for a QMF namespace. (BZ#662826)

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated qpid-cpp packages, which resolve
these issues and add these enhancements.
