and [RabbitMQ community Slack](https://rabbitmq-slack.herokuapp.com/).
## Changes Worth Mentioning
### Core Server
#### Enhancements
* Binding recovery on node startup is now more efficient. This means in clusters with a lot of
queues and/or bindings, nodes start quicker.
GitHub issue: [#3137](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/3137)
* Plugin directory paths are now deduplicated, so if a single directory is specified
more than ones, the node won't complain about duplicate plugins.
GitHub issue: [#3155](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/3155)
* Startup banner and log entries now use path separators more consistently on Windows.
Thanks to Linda @LindaLawton Lawton for pointing out the inconsistency.
GitHub issue: [#3149](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/3149)
### Shovel Plugin
#### Bug Fixes
* When dynamic Shovels are started the plugin now acquires a distributed lock.
This is generally not necessary but helps avoid duplicate Shovels being started
via import of a definition file on every cluster node during cluster formation.
GitHub issue: [#3167](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/3167)
