Versions
This chapter provides the following information for each release:
- A link to the full release notes which includes all issues resolved in the release.
- A brief list of "highlights" when applicable.
- If necessary, specific steps required when upgrading from the previous version.
- Note: If the upgrade spans multiple versions then the steps from each version need to be followed in order.
- Note: Follow the general upgrade procedure outlined in the Upgrading the Broker chapter in addition to any version-specific upgrade instructions outlined here.
2.14.0
Highlights:
- Management methods to update diverts
- Ability to "disabled" a queue so that messages are not routed to it
- Support JVM GC & thread metrics
- Support for resetting queue properties by unsetting them in
broker.xml
- Undeploy diverts by removing them from
broker.xml
- Add
addressMemoryUsagePercentage
andaddressSize

values before upgrading.
2.13.0

, an internal object used to store address and security settings
Upgrading from older versions
Version 2.13.0 added new audit logging
which is logged at INFO
level and can be very verbose. The
logging.properties
shipped with this new version is set up to filter this out
by default. If your logging.properties
isn't updated appropriately this audit
logging will likely appear in your console and artemis.log
file assuming
you're using a logging configuration close to the default. Add this to your
logging.properties
:
# to enable audit change the level to INFO
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.base.level=ERROR
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.base.handlers=AUDIT_FILE
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.base.useParentHandlers=false
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.resource.level=ERROR
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.resource.handlers=AUDIT_FILE
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.resource.useParentHandlers=false
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.message.level=ERROR
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.message.handlers=AUDIT_FILE
logger.org.apache.activemq.audit.message.useParentHandlers=false
...
#Audit logger
handler.AUDIT_FILE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.PeriodicRotatingFileHandler
handler.AUDIT_FILE.level=INFO
handler.AUDIT_FILE.properties=suffix,append,autoFlush,fileName
handler.AUDIT_FILE.suffix=.yyyy-MM-dd
handler.AUDIT_FILE.append=true
handler.AUDIT_FILE.autoFlush=true

formatter.AUDIT_PATTERN=org.jboss.logmanager.formatters.PatternFormatter
formatter.AUDIT_PATTERN.properties=pattern
formatter.AUDIT_PATTERN.pattern=%d [AUDIT](%t) %s%E%n

- Ability to configure a "customizer" for the embedded web server
- Improved logging for errors when starting an
acceptor
to more easily identify theacceptor
which has the problem. - The CLI will now read the
broker.xml
to find the defaultconnector

2.10.0
This was mainly a bug-fix release with a notable dependency change impacting version upgrade.
Upgrading from 2.9.0
Due to the WildFly dependency upgrade the broker start scripts/configuration need to be adjusted after upgrading.
On *nix
Locate this statement in bin/artemis
:
WILDFLY_COMMON="$ARTEMIS_HOME/lib/wildfly-common-1.5.1.Final.jar"
This needs to be replaced with this:
WILDFLY_COMMON="$ARTEMIS_HOME/lib/wildfly-common-1.5.2.Final.jar"
On Windows
Locate this part of JAVA_ARGS
in etc/artemis.profile.cmd
respectively bin/artemis-service.xml
:
%ARTEMIS_HOME%\lib\wildfly-common-1.5.1.Final.jar
This needs to be replaced with this:
%ARTEMIS_HOME%\lib\wildfly-common-1.5.2.Final.jar
2.9.0
This was a light release. It included a handful of bug fixes, a few improvements, and one major new feature.
Highlights:
- Support exporting metrics.
2.8.1
This was mainly a bug-fix release with a notable dependency change impacting version upgrade.
Upgrading from 2.8.0
Due to the dependency upgrade made on ARTEMIS-2319 the broker start scripts need to be adjusted after upgrading.
On *nix
Locate this if
statement in bin/artemis
:
if [ -z "$LOG_MANAGER" ] ; then
# this is the one found when the server was created
LOG_MANAGER="$ARTEMIS_HOME/lib/jboss-logmanager-2.0.3.Final.jar"
fi
This needs to be replaced with this block:
if [ -z "$LOG_MANAGER" ] ; then
# this is the one found when the server was created
LOG_MANAGER="$ARTEMIS_HOME/lib/jboss-logmanager-2.1.10.Final.jar"
fi
WILDFLY_COMMON=`ls $ARTEMIS_HOME/lib/wildfly-common*jar 2>/dev/null`
if [ -z "$WILDFLY_COMMON" ] ; then
# this is the one found when the server was created
WILDFLY_COMMON="$ARTEMIS_HOME/lib/wildfly-common-1.5.1.Final.jar"
fi
Notice that the jboss-logmanager
version has changed and there is also a new wildfly-common
library.
Not much further down there is this line:
-Xbootclasspath/a:"$LOG_MANAGER" \
This line should be changed to be:
-Xbootclasspath/a:"$LOG_MANAGER:$WILDFLY_COMMON" \
On Windows
Locate this part of JAVA_ARGS
in etc/artemis.profile.cmd
respectively bin/artemis-service.xml
:
-Xbootclasspath/a:%ARTEMIS_HOME%\lib\jboss-logmanager-2.1.10.Final.jar
This needs to be replaced with this:
-Xbootclasspath/a:%ARTEMIS_HOME%\lib\jboss-logmanager-2.1.10.Final.jar;%ARTEMIS_HOME%\lib\wildfly-common-1.5.1.Final.jar

CLI command. - Support reload logging configuration at runtime.
2.6.3

2.6.1
This was a bug-fix release with no substantial new features or improvements.
2.6.0
Highlights:
- Support regular expressions for matching client certificates.
- Support
SASL_EXTERNAL
for AMQP clients. - New examples showing virtual topic mapping and exclusive queue features.
2.5.0
Highlights:
- Exclusive consumers.
- Equivalent ActiveMQ 5.x Virtual Topic naming abilities.
- SSL Certificate revocation list.
- Last-value queue support for OpenWire.
- Support masked passwords in bootstrap.xm and login.config
- Configurable broker plugin implementation for logging various broker events (i.e.
LoggingActiveMQServerPlugin
). - Option to use OpenSSL provider for Netty via the
sslProvider
URL parameter. - Enable splitting of broker.xml into multiple files.
- Enhanced message count and size metrics for queues.
Upgrading from 2.4.0
- Due to changes from ARTEMIS-1644 any
acceptor
that needs to be compatible with HornetQ and/or Artemis 1.x clients needs to haveanycastPrefix=jms.queue.;multicastPrefix=jms.topic.
in theacceptor
url. This prefix used to be configured automatically behind the scenes when the broker detected these old types of clients, but that broke certain use-cases with no possible work-around. See ARTEMIS-1644 for more details.
2.4.0
Highlights:
- JMX configuration via XML rather than having to use system properties via command line or start script.
- Configuration of max frame payload length for STOMP web-socket.
- Ability to configure HA using JDBC persistence.
- Implement role-based access control for management objects.
Upgrading from 2.3.0
- Create
<ARTEMIS_INSTANCE>/etc/management.xml
. At the very least, the file must contain this:
This configures role based authorisation for JMX. Read more in the Management documentation.<management-context xmlns="http://activemq.org/schema"/>
If configured, remove the Jolokia war file from the
web
element in<ARTEMIS_INSTANCE>/etc/bootstrap.xml
:<app url="jolokia" war="jolokia.war"/>
This is no longer required as the Jolokia REST interface is now integrated into the console web application.
If the following is absent and you desire to deploy the web console then add:
<app url="console" war="console.war"/>
Note: the Jolokia REST interface URL will now be at
http://<host>:<port>/console/jolokia
2.3.0
Highlights:
- Web admin console!
- Critical Analysis and deadlock detection on broker
- Support Netty native kqueue on Mac.
- Last-value queue for AMQP
Upgrading from 2.2.0
- If you desire to deploy the web console then add the following to the
web
element in<ARTEMIS_INSTANCE>/etc/bootstrap.xml
:<app url="console" war="console.war"/>

- Scheduled messages with the STOMP protocol.
- Support for JNDIReferenceFactory and JNDIStorable.

2.1.0
Highlights:
- Broker plugin support.
- Support Netty native epoll on Linux.
- Ability to configure arbitrary security role mappings.

2.0.0
Highlights:
- Huge update involving a significant refactoring of the addressing model yielding the following benefits:

- Support for additional messaging use-cases.
- Eliminates confusing JMS-specific queue naming conventions (i.e. "jms.queue." & "jms.topic." prefixes).
