Upcoming​

  • a9s Messaging: End of Support: Terminate support, starting from anynines deployment v65.0.0 (expected end of September 2025), for the following deprecated a9s Data Service versions:

    • a9s Messaging 3.12: RabbitMQ 3.12 is end-of-life by their vendor since June 2024
    • a9s Messaging 3.13: RabbitMQ 3.13 is end-of-life by their vendor since Sept 2024

    The creation of new a9s Data Service Instances for these deprecated versions will be disabled by default in the a9s Data Service Bundle and we will not provide regular support for these versions. The corresponding documentation will also be removed. Although we will not intentionally break running Service Instances of these unsupported versions, it cannot be guaranteed that they still work as expected after an update to v65.0.0.
