Support Policy
In January 2023, the term general support was replaced with community support to avoid confusion with the VMware terminology related to the support lifecycle policy.
Community Support
As a result of feedback from the community and those with a commercial license, RabbitMQ patch releases are produced regularly. Community support is provided by community resources. Refer to the previous table for end dates for this support.
Extended Commercial Support
Extended Commercial Support is included in VMware’s Commercial Open Source RabbitMQ Support. RabbitMQ patches are produced for security and high severity issues that are reported by users with a commercial license. If you already have a license, go to paid commercial support enquiries. Refer to the previous table for end dates for this support.
The Next Release
RabbitMQ 4.0 is next, it is expected to be released later in 2024.
