0.18 Release Notes
The full list of changes in the Qpid 0.18 release incorporates both the issues worked on during the 0.17 development stream and any final touches made during the 0.18 release process. A list of these JIRA issues can be found below.
Note: This release addresses CVE-2012-3467. See QPID-3849.
Note: Late in the 0.18 release process, we discovered a scenario where the negotiate-timeout feature (QPID-2518) of the Qpid C++ broker can be triggered by the Java client on some platforms. This issue is under investigation. If you are affected, the workaround is to increase the negotiate timeout value.
