Introduction to releases:

Qpid implements the AMQP Specification, and as the specification has progressed Qpid is keeping up with the updates. This means that different Qpid versions support different versions of AMQP. Here is a simple guide on what use.

• M1 Release is our first release and support AMQP 0-8. Not recommended anymore
• M2.x Release supports AMQP 0-9. The use of these versions are recommended. – download below
• Trunk (M3) supports AMQP 0-10 and some backwards compatibility with AMQP 0-9, the C++ Broker, Java, and Python Client support 0-10, The Java client support 0-9 & 0-10. Other clients and Java broker (will support both AMQP 0-9 and AMQP 0-10) to be updated. Recommended development tree, or running AMQP 0-10 – use svn Source Repository or download a clean build cruisecontrol builds

Development Releases

These releases are intended for testing and previewing new features. They have been tested and meet reasonable quality standards.

As Qpid tracks AMQP working group public work aggressively it might be worth mailing the dev list to check the state of svn trunk and if you want to use that to understand the current compatibility matrix.

RPMs for the builds of trunk that have passed all the tests get automatically posted and are available at cruisecontrol

Beta builds of M2.1 are available from http://people.apache.org/~aidan/qpid-M2.1-RC5/
