5.3.0.RC1

Changes between 5.2.0 and 5.3.0.RC1

Multi-threaded topology recovery

Automatic topology recovery can now be performed with an ExecutorService provided with ConnectionFactory#setTopologyRecoveryExecutor. This can speed up topology recovery for connections that have lots of queues and bindings. Early tests showed multi-threaded topology recovery can be 5 times faster than single-threaded topology recovery. Note single-threaded topology recovery is still the default.

Reduce default channel max to 2047

Max number of channels has been reduced from unlimited to 2048 as of RabbitMQ 3.7.5, to avoid leaking-channel applications starving broker resources. This client-side change is a safety measure for clients that would upgrade the server later.
