## RabbitMQ 3.7.26
RabbitMQ `3.7.26` is a maintenance release. It focuses on bug fixes and usability
improvements.
RabbitMQ `3.7.x` series are out of general support and covered by the [limited extended support](https://www.rabbitmq.com/versions.html) policy.
Please consider [upgrading](https://www.rabbitmq.com/upgrade.html) to [RabbitMQ `3.8.x`](https://www.rabbitmq.com/changelog.html).
### Erlang/OTP Compatibility Notes
This release [**no longer supports Erlang/OTP 20.3**](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rabbitmq-users/G4UJ9zbIYHs/qCeyjkjyCQAJ).
Previously recent `3.7.x` nodes could start on Erlang 20.3 and to some extent tested on it despite
the Erlang `21.3+` requirements in release notes and documentation.
Starting with this release, `21.3+` is a **hard requirement** enforced in the code
to [ensure forward compatibility with Erlang 23](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/2269).
Make sure a [supported Erlang version](https://www.rabbitmq.com/which-erlang.html) is used before upgrading.
[Provisioning Latest Erlang Releases](https://www.rabbitmq.com/which-erlang.html#erlang-repositories) explains
what package repositories and tools can be used to provision latest patch versions of Erlang `21.3.x` and `22.x`.
### Compatibility Notes
#### Upgrading to Erlang 21.x or Later Versions
When upgrading to this release **and upgrading Erlang to 21.x or later** at the same time, extra care has to be taken.
Since CLI tools from RabbitMQ releases older than 3.7.7 will fail on Erlang 21 or later,
RabbitMQ **must be upgraded before Erlang**.
#### Upgrade Doc Guides and Change Log
See [3.7.0 release notes](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/tag/v3.7.0) upgrade
and compatibility notes first if upgrading from an earlier release.
See the [Upgrading guide](https://www.rabbitmq.com/upgrade.html) for general documentation on upgrades
and [RabbitMQ change log](https://www.rabbitmq.com/changelog.html) for release notes of other releases.
### Getting Help
Any questions about this release, upgrades or RabbitMQ in general are welcome on the
[RabbitMQ mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rabbitmq-users).
## Changes
### Federation Plugin
#### Enhancements
* "Command" operations such as binding propagation now use a separate channel for all links, preventing latency
spikes for asynchronous operations (such as message publishing) (a head-of-line blocking problem).

GitHub issue: [rabbitmq/rabbitmq-federation#97](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-federation/pull/97)
### Management Plugin
#### Bug Fixes
* `rabbitmqadmin` failed with an exception on Python 3 when `-f pretty_json` flag was used.
GitHub issue: [rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management#794](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management/issues/794)
### Shovel Plugin
#### Bug Fixes
* AMQP 1.0 client used by Shovel now correctly encodes Erlang atoms.
GitHub issue: [rabbitmq/rabbitmq-amqp1.0-client#45](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-amqp1.0-client/issues/45)
