release-date:	2019-03-3 18:30 P.M UTC+3:00
release-by:	Omer Katz

• The Redis transport now supports a custom separator for keys.

  Previously when storing a key in Redis which represents a queue we used the hardcored value \x06\x16 separator to store different attributes of the queue in the queue's name.

  The separator is now configurable using the sep transport option:

  with Connection('redis://', transport_options={
          'sep': ':',
      }):
      # ...
      pass

  Contributed by Joris Beckers

• When the SQS server returns a timeout we ignore it and keep trying instead of raising an error.

  This will prevent Celery from raising an error and hanging.

• Avoid caching queues which are declared with a TTL.

  Queues that are declared with a TTL are now also be excluded from the in-memory cache in case they expire between publishes on the same channel.

  Contributed by Matt Yule-Bennett

• Added an index to the Message table for the SQLAlchemy transport.

  The index allows to effectively sorting the table by the message's timestamp.

  Note

  We do not provide migrations for this model yet. You will need to add the index manually if you are already using the SQLAlchemy transport.

  The syntax may vary between databases. Please refer to your database's documentation for instructions.

  Contributed by Mikhail Shcherbinin

• Added a timeout that limits the amount of time we retry to reconnect to a transport.

  Contributed by :github_user:`tothegump`

• :class:celery.asynchronous.hub.Hub is now reentrant.

  This allows calling :func:`celery.bin.celery.main` to revive a worker in the same process after rescuing from shutdown (:class:SystemExit).

• Queues now accept string exchange names as arguments as documented.

  Tests were added to avoid further regressions.

  Contributed by Antonio Gutierrez

• Specifying names for broadcast queues now work as expected.

  Previously, named broadcast queues did not create multiple queues per worker. They incorrectly declared the named queue which resulted in one queue per fanout exchange, thus missing the entire point of a fanout exchange. The behavior is now matched to unnamed broadcast queues.

  Contributed by Kuan Hsuan-Tso

• When initializing the Redis transport in conjunction with gevent restore all unacknowledged messages to queue.

  Contributed by Gal Cohen

• Allow :class:kombu.simple.SimpleQueue to pass queue_arguments to Queue object.

  This allows :class:kombu.simple.SimpleQueue to connect to RabbitMQ queues with custom arguments like 'x-queue-mode'='lazy'.

  Contributed by C Blue Neeh

• Add support for 'rediss' scheme for secure Redis connections.

  The rediss scheme defaults to the least secure form, as there is no suitable default location for ca_certs. The recommendation would still be to follow the documentation and specify broker_use_ssl if coming from celery.

  Contributed by Daniel Blair

• Added the Azure Storage Queues transport.

  The transport is implemented on top of Azure Storage Queues. This offers a simple but scalable and low-cost PaaS transport for Celery users in Azure. The transport is intended to be used in conjunction with the Azure Block Blob Storage backend.

4.0.2

release-date:	2016-12-15 03:31 P.M PST
release-by:	Ask Solem

• Now depends on :mod:`amqp` 2.1.4

  This new version takes advantage of TCP Keepalive settings on Linux, making it better at detecting closed connections, also in failover conditions.

• Redis: Priority was reversed so, e.g. priority 0 became priority 9.

4.0.1

release-date:	2016-12-07 06:00 P.M PST
release-by:	Ask Solem

4.0

release-date:	2016-10-28 16:45 P.M UTC
release-by:	Ask Solem

• Now depends on :mod:`amqp` 2.0.

  The new py-amqp version have been refactored for better performance, using modern Python socket conventions, and API consistency.

• No longer depends on :mod:`anyjson`.

  Kombu will now only choose between :pypi:`simplejson` and the built-in :mod:`json`.

  Using the latest version of simplejson is recommended:

  $ pip install -U simplejson

• Removed transports that are no longer supported in this version:

  • Django ORM transport
  • SQLAlchemy ORM transport
  • Beanstalk transport
  • ZeroMQ transport
  • amqplib transport (use pyamqp).

• API Changes

  • Signature of :class:`kombu.Message` now takes body as first argment.

    It used to be Message(channel, body=body, **kw), but now it's Message(body, channel=channel, **kw).

    This is unlikey to affect you, as the Kombu API does not have users instantiate messages manually.

• New SQS transport

  Donated by NextDoor, with additional contributions from mdk.

  Note

  kombu[sqs] now depends on :pypi:`pycurl`.

• New Consul transport.

  Contributed by Wido den Hollander.

• New etcd transport.

  Contributed by Stephen Milner.

• New Qpid transport.

  It was introduced as an experimental transport in Kombu 3.0, but is now mature enough to be fully supported.

  Created and maintained by Brian Bouterse.

• Redis: Priority 0 is now lowest, 9 is highest. (backward incompatible)

  This to match how priorities in AMQP works.

  Fix contributed by Alex Koshelev.

• Redis: Support for Sentinel

  You can point the connection to a list of sentinel URLs like:

  sentinel://0.0.0.0:26379;sentinel://0.0.0.0:26380/...
  

  where each sentinel is separated by a ;. Multiple sentinels are handled by :class:`kombu.Connection` constructor, and placed in the alternative list of servers to connect to in case of connection failure.

  Contributed by Sergey Azovskov, and Lorenzo Mancini

• RabbitMQ Queue Extensions

  New arguments have been added to :class:`kombu.Queue` that lets you directly and conveniently configure the RabbitMQ queue extensions.

  • Queue(expires=20.0)

    Set queue expiry time in float seconds.

    See :attr:`kombu.Queue.expires`.

  • Queue(message_ttl=30.0)

    Set queue message time-to-live float seconds.

    See :attr:`kombu.Queue.message_ttl`.

  • Queue(max_length=1000)

    Set queue max length (number of messages) as int.

    See :attr:`kombu.Queue.max_length`.

  • Queue(max_length_bytes=1000)

    Set queue max length (message size total in bytes) as int.

    See :attr:`kombu.Queue.max_length_bytes`.

  • Queue(max_priority=10)

    Declare queue to be a priority queue that routes messages based on the priority field of the message.

    See :attr:`kombu.Queue.max_priority`.

• RabbitMQ: Message.ack now supports the multiple argument.

  If multiple is set to True, then all messages received before the message being acked will also be acknowledged.

• amqps:// can now be specified to require SSL (Issue #610).

• Consumer.cancel_by_queue is now constant time.

• Connection.ensure* now raises :exc:`kombu.exceptions.OperationalError`.

  Things that can be retried are now reraised as :exc:`kombu.exceptions.OperationalError`.

• Redis: Fixed SSL support.

  Contributed by Robert Kolba.

• New Queue.consumer_arguments can be used for the ability to set consumer priority via x-priority.

  See https://www.rabbitmq.com/consumer-priority.html

  Example:

  Queue(
      'qname',
      exchange=Exchange('exchange'),
      routing_key='qname',
      consumer_arguments={'x-priority': 3},
  )

• Queue/Exchange: no_declare option added (also enabled for internal amq. exchanges) (Issue #565).

• JSON serializer now calls obj.__json__ for unsupported types.

  This means you can now define a __json__ method for custom types that can be reduced down to a built-in json type.

  Example:

  class Person:
      first_name = None
      last_name = None
      address = None
  
      def __json__(self):
          return {
              'first_name': self.first_name,
              'last_name': self.last_name,
              'address': self.address,
          }

• JSON serializer now handles datetimes, Django promise, UUID and Decimal.

• Beanstalk: Priority 0 is now lowest, 9 is highest. (backward incompatible)

  This to match how priorities in AMQP works.

  Fix contributed by Alex Koshelev.

• Redis: now supports SSL using the ssl argument to :class:`~kombu.Connection`.

• Redis: Fanout exchanges are no longer visible between vhosts, and fanout messages can be filtered by patterns. (backward incompatible)

  It was possible to enable this mode previously using the fanout_prefix, and fanout_patterns transport options, but now these are enabled by default.

  If you want to mix and match producers/consumers running different versions you need to configure your kombu 3.x clients to also enable these options:

  >>> Connection(transport_options={
      'fanout_prefix': True,
      'fanout_patterns': True,
  })

• Pidbox: Mailbox new arguments: TTL and expiry.

  Mailbox now supports new arguments for controlling message TTLs and queue expiry, both for the mailbox queue and for reply queues.

  • queue_expires (float/int seconds).
  • queue_ttl (float/int seconds).
  • reply_queue_expires (float/int seconds).
  • reply_queue_ttl (float/int seconds).

  All take seconds in int/float.

  Contributed by Alan Justino.

• Exchange.delivery_mode now defaults to :const:`None`, and the default is instead set by Producer.publish.

• :class:`~kombu.Consumer` now supports a new prefetch_count argument, which if provided will force the consumer to set an initial prefetch count just before starting.

• Virtual transports now stores priority as a property, not in delivery_info, to be compatible with AMQP.

• reply_to argument to Producer.publish can now be :class:`~kombu.Queue` instance.

• Connection: There's now a new method Connection.supports_exchange_type(type) that can be used to check if the current transport supports a specific exchange type.

• SQS: Consumers can now read json messages not sent by Kombu.

  Contributed by Juan Carlos Ferrer.

• SQS: Will now log the access key used when authentication fails.

  Contributed by Hank John.

• Added new :class:`kombu.mixins.ConsumerProducerMixin` for consumers that will also publish messages on a separate connection.

• Messages: Now have a more descriptive repr.

  Contributed by Joshua Harlow.

• Async: HTTP client based on curl.

• Async: Now uses poll instead of select where available.

• MongoDB: Now supports priorities

  Contributed by Alex Koshelev.

• Virtual transports now supports multiple queue bindings.

  Contributed by Federico Ficarelli.

• Virtual transports now supports the anon exchange.

  If when publishing a message, the exchange argument is set to '' (empty string), the routing_key will be regarded as the destination queue.

  This will bypass the routing table compeltely, and just deliver the message to the queue name specified in the routing key.

• Zookeeper: Transport now uses the built-in suport in kazoo to handle failover when using a list of server names.

  Contributed by Joshua Harlow.

• ConsumerMixin.run now passes keyword arguments to .consume.

Deprecations and removals

• The deprecated method Consumer.add_queue_from_dict has been removed.

  Use instead:

  consumer.add_queue(Queue.from_dict(queue_name, **options))

• The deprecated function kombu.serialization.encode has been removed.

  Use :func:`kombu.serialization.dumps` instead.

• The deprecated function kombu.serialization.decode has been removed.

  Use :func:`kombu.serialization.loads` instead.

• Removed module kombu.syn

  detect_environment has been moved to kombu.utils.compat

• Now depends on :mod:`amqp` 1.4.5.

• RabbitMQ 3.3 changes QoS semantics (Issue #339).

  See the RabbitMQ release notes here: http://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2014/04/02/breaking-things-with-rabbitmq-3-3/

  A new connection property has been added that can be used to detect whether the remote server is using this new QoS behavior:

  >>> Connection('amqp://').qos_behavior_matches_spec
  False

  so if your application depends on the old semantics you can use this to set the apply_global flag appropriately:

  def update_prefetch_count(channel, new_value):
      channel.basic_qos(
          0, new_value,
          not channel.connection.client.qos_behavior_matches_spec,
      )

• Users of :mod:`librabbitmq` is encouraged to upgrade to librabbitmq 1.5.0.

  The kombu[librabbitmq] extra has been updated to depend on this version.

• Pools: Now takes transport options into account when comparing connections (Issue #333).

• MongoDB: Fixes Python 3 compatibility.

release-by:	Ask Solem

• Redis: Fixed serious race condition that could lead to data loss.

  The delivery tags were accidentally set to be an incremental number local to the channel, but the delivery tags need to be globally unique so that a message can not overwrite an older message in the backup store.

  This change is not backwards incompatible and you are encouraged to update all your system using a previous version as soon as possible.

• Now depends on :mod:`amqp` 1.4.4.

• Pidbox: Now makes sure message encoding errors are handled by default, so that a custom error handler does not need to be specified.

• Redis: The fanout exchange can now use AMQP patterns to route and filter messages.

  This change is backwards incompatible and must be enabled with the fanout_patterns transport option:

  >>> conn = kombu.Connection('redis://', transport_options={
  ...     'fanout_patterns': True,
  ... })

  When enabled the exchange will work like an amqp topic exchange if the binding key is a pattern.

  This is planned to be default behavior in the future.

• New kombu.Connection.get_heartbeat_interval() method that can be used to access the negotiated heartbeat value.

• kombu.common.oid_for no longer uses the MAC address of the host, but

• MongoDB: Improved connection string and options handling (Issue #266 + Issue #120).

  Contributed by Alex Koshelev.

• SQS: Limit the number of messages when receiving in batch to 10.

  This is a hard limit enforced by Amazon so the sqs transport must not exceeed this value.

• Now depends on :mod:`amqp` version 1.3.1.

• Redis: New option fanout_keyprefix

  This transport option is recommended for all users as it ensures that broadcast (fanout) messages sent is only seen by the current virtual host:

  Connection('redis://', transport_options={'fanout_keyprefix': True})

  However, enabling this means that you cannot send or receive messages from older Kombu versions so make sure all of your participants are upgraded and have the transport option enabled.

  This will be the default behavior in Kombu 4.0.

3.0.0

release-date:	2013-10-14 04:00 P.M BST
release-by:	Ask Solem

• Now depends on :mod:`amqp` version 1.3.

• No longer supports Python 2.5

  The minimum Python version supported is now Python 2.6.0 for Python 2, and Python 3.3 for Python 3.

• Dual codebase supporting both Python 2 and 3.

  No longer using 2to3, making it easier to maintain support for both versions.

• pickle, yaml and msgpack deserialization is now disabled by default.

  This means that Kombu will by default refuse to handle any content type other than json.

  Pickle is known to be a security concern as it will happily load any object that is embedded in a pickle payload, and payloads can be crafted to do almost anything you want. The default serializer in Kombu is json but it also supports a number of other serialization formats that it will evaluate if received: including pickle.

  It was always assumed that users were educated about the security implications of pickle, but in hindsight we don't think users should be expected to secure their services if we have the ability to be secure by default.

  By disabling any content type that the user did not explicitly want enabled we ensure that the user must be conscious when they add pickle as a serialization format to support.

  The other built-in serializers (yaml and msgpack) are also disabled even though they aren't considered insecure [1] at this point. Instead they're disabled so that if a security flaw is found in one of these libraries in the future, you will only be affected if you have explicitly enabled them.

  To have your consumer accept formats other than json you have to explicitly add the wanted formats to a white-list of accepted content types:

  >>> c = Consumer(conn, accept=['json', 'pickle', 'msgpack'])

  or when using synchronous access:

  >>> msg = queue.get(accept=['json', 'pickle', 'msgpack'])

  The accept argument was first supported for consumers in version 2.5.10, and first supported by Queue.get in version 2.5.15 so to stay compatible with previous versions you can enable the previous behavior:

  >>> from kombu import enable_insecure_serializers
  >>> enable_insecure_serializers()

  But note that this has global effect, so be very careful should you use it.

  Footnotes

  [1]	The PyYAML library has a :func:`yaml.load` function with some of the same security implications as pickle, but Kombu uses the :func:`yaml.safe_load` function which is not known to be affected.

• kombu.async: Experimental event loop implementation.

  This code was previously in Celery but was moved here to make it easier for async transport implementations.

  The API is meant to match the Tulip API which will be included in Python 3.4 as the asyncio module. It's not a complete implementation obviously, but the goal is that it will be easy to change to it once that is possible.

• Now depends on amqp 1.0.12 (Py3 compatibility issues).

• MongoDB: Removed cause of a "database name in URI is being ignored" warning.

  Fix by Flavio Percoco Premoli

• Adds passive option to :class:`~kombu.Exchange`.

  Setting this flag means that the exchange will not be declared by kombu, but that it must exist already (or an exception will be raised).

  Contributed by Rafal Malinowski

• Connection.info() now gives the current hostname and not the list of available hostnames.

  Fix contributed by John Shuping.

• pyamqp: Transport options are now forwarded as kwargs to amqp.Connection.

• librabbitmq: Transport options are now forwarded as kwargs to librabbitmq.Connection.

• librabbitmq: Now raises :exc:`NotImplementedError` if SSL is enabled.

  The librabbitmq library does not support ssl, but you can use stunnel or change to the pyamqp:// transport instead.

  Fix contributed by Dan LaMotte.

• librabbitmq: Fixed a cyclic reference at connection close.

• eventio: select implementation now removes bad file descriptors.

• eventio: Fixed Py3 compatibility problems.

• Functional tests added for py-amqp and librabbitmq transports.

• Resource.force_close_all no longer uses a mutex.

• Pidbox: Now ignores IconsistencyError when sending replies, as this error simply means that the client may no longer be alive.

• Adds new :meth:`Connection.collect <~kombu.Connection.collect>` method, that can be used to clean up after connections without I/O.

• queue_bind is no longer called for queues bound to the "default exchange" (Issue #209).

  Contributed by Jonathan Halcrow.

• The max_retries setting for retries was not respected correctly (off by one).

Note about upcoming changes for Kombu 3.0

Kombu 3 consumers will no longer accept pickle/yaml or msgpack by default, and you will have to explicitly enable untrusted deserializers either globally using :func:`kombu.enable_insecure_serializers`, or using the accept argument to :class:`~kombu.Consumer`.

Changes

• New utility function to disable/enable untrusted serializers.

  • :func:`kombu.disable_insecure_serializers`
  • :func:`kombu.enable_insecure_serializers`.

• Consumer: accept can now be used to specify a whitelist of content types to accept.

  If the accept whitelist is set and a message is received with a content type that is not in the whitelist then a :exc:`~kombu.exceptions.ContentDisallowed` exception is raised. Note that this error can be handled by the already existing on_decode_error callback

  Examples:

  Consumer(accept=['application/json'])
  Consumer(accept=['pickle', 'json'])

• Now depends on amqp 1.0.11

• pidbox: Mailbox now supports the accept argument.

• Redis: More friendly error for when keys are missing.

• Connection URLs: The parser did not work well when there were multiple '+' tokens.

2.5.9

• Pidbox: Now warns if there are multiple nodes consuming from the same pidbox.

• Adds :attr:`Queue.on_declared <kombu.Queue.on_declared>`

  A callback to be called when the queue is declared, with signature (name, messages, consumers).

• Now uses fuzzy matching to suggest alternatives to typos in transport names.

• SQS: Adds new transport option queue_prefix.

  Contributed by j0hnsmith.

• pyamqp: No longer overrides verify_connection.

• SQS: Now specifies the driver_type and driver_name attributes.

  Fix contributed by Mher Movsisyan.

• Fixed bug with kombu.utils.retry_over_time when no errback specified.

release-by:	Ask Solem

• Now depends on :mod:`amqp` 1.0.10 which fixes a Python 3 compatibility error.

• Redis: Fixed a possible race condition (Issue #171).

• Redis: Ack emulation/visibility_timeout can now be disabled using a transport option.

  Ack emulation adds quite a lot of overhead to ensure data is safe even in the event of an unclean shutdown. If data loss do not worry you there is now an ack_emulation transport option you can use to disable it:

  Connection('redis://', transport_options={'ack_emulation': False})

• SQS: Fixed :mod:`boto` v2.7 compatibility (Issue #207).

• Exchange: Should not try to re-declare default exchange ("") (Issue #209).

• SQS: Long polling is now disabled by default as it was not implemented correctly, resulting in long delays between receiving messages (Issue #202).

• Fixed Python 2.6 incompatibility depending on exc.errno being available.

SQS: Now supports long polling (Issue #176).

The polling interval default has been changed to 0 and a new transport option (wait_time_seconds) has been added. This parameter specifies how long to wait for a message from SQS, and defaults to 20 seconds, which is the maximum value currently allowed by Amazon SQS.

Contributed by James Saryerwinnie.

• SQS: Now removes unpickleable fields before restoring messages.

• Consumer.__exit__ now ignores exceptions occurring while canceling the consumer.

• Virtual: Routing keys can now consist of characters also used in regular expressions (e.g. parens) (Issue #194).

• Virtual: Fixed compression header when restoring messages.

  Fix contributed by Alex Koshelev.

2.5.0

release-date:	2012-11-27 04:00 P.M UTC
release-by:	Ask Solem

• py-amqp is now the new default transport, replacing amqplib.

  The new py-amqp library is a fork of amqplib started with the following goals:

  • Uses AMQP 0.9.1 instead of 0.8
  • Support for heartbeats (Issue #79 + Issue #131)
  • Automatically revives channels on channel errors.

  • Support for all RabbitMQ extensions

    • Consumer Cancel Notifications (Issue #131)
    • Publisher Confirms (Issue #131).
    • Exchange-to-exchange bindings: exchange_bind / exchange_unbind.

  • API compatible with :mod:`librabbitmq` so that it can be used as a pure-python replacement in environments where rabbitmq-c cannot be compiled. librabbitmq will be updated to support all the same features as py-amqp.

• Support for using multiple connection URL's for failover.

  The first argument to :class:`~kombu.Connection` can now be a list of connection URLs:

  Connection(['amqp://foo', 'amqp://bar'])

  or it can be a single string argument with several URLs separated by semicolon:

  Connection('amqp://foo;amqp://bar')

  There is also a new keyword argument failover_strategy that defines how :meth:`~kombu.Connection.ensure_connection`/ :meth:`~kombu.Connection.ensure`/:meth:`kombu.Connection.autoretry` will reconnect in the event of connection failures.

  The default reconnection strategy is round-robin, which will simply cycle through the list forever, and there's also a shuffle strategy that will select random hosts from the list. Custom strategies can also be used, in that case the argument must be a generator yielding the URL to connect to.

  Example:

  Connection('amqp://foo;amqp://bar')

• Now supports PyDev, PyCharm, pylint and other static code analysis tools.

• :class:`~kombu.Queue` now supports multiple bindings.

  You can now have multiple bindings in the same queue by having the second argument be a list:

  from kombu import binding, Queue
  
  Queue('name', [
      binding(Exchange('E1'), routing_key='foo'),
      binding(Exchange('E1'), routing_key='bar'),
      binding(Exchange('E2'), routing_key='baz'),
  ])

  To enable this, helper methods have been added:

  • :meth:`~kombu.Queue.bind_to`
  • :meth:`~kombu.Queue.unbind_from`

  Contributed by Rumyana Neykova.

• Custom serializers can now be registered using Setuptools entry-points.

  See :ref:`serialization-entrypoints`.

• New :class:`kombu.common.QoS` class used as a thread-safe way to manage changes to a consumer or channels prefetch_count.

  This was previously an internal class used in Celery now moved to the :mod:`kombu.common` module.

• Consumer now supports a on_message callback that can be used to process raw messages (not decoded).

  Other callbacks specified using the callbacks argument, and the receive method will be not be called when a on message callback is present.

• New utility :func:`kombu.common.ignore_errors` ignores connection and channel errors.

  Must only be used for cleanup actions at shutdown or on connection loss.

• Support for exchange-to-exchange bindings.

  The :class:`~kombu.Exchange` entity gained bind_to and unbind_from methods:

  e1 = Exchange('A')(connection)
  e2 = Exchange('B')(connection)
  
  e2.bind_to(e1, routing_key='rkey', arguments=None)
  e2.unbind_from(e1, routing_key='rkey', arguments=None)

  This is currently only supported by the pyamqp transport.

• Redis: Unacked message restore limit is now unlimited by default.

  Also, the limit can now be configured using the unacked_restore_limit transport option:

  Connection('redis://', transport_options={
      'unacked_restore_limit': 100,
  })
  
  A limit of 100 means that the consumer will restore at most 100
  messages at each pass.

• Redis: Now uses a mutex to ensure only one consumer restores messages at a time.

  The mutex expires after 5 minutes by default, but can be configured using the unacked_mutex_expire transport option.

• LamportClock.adjust now returns the new clock value.

• Heartbeats can now be specified in URLs.

• New pyamqp:// transport!

  The new py-amqp library is a fork of amqplib started with the following goals:

  • Uses AMQP 0.9.1 instead of 0.8
  • Should support all RabbitMQ extensions
  • API compatible with :mod:`librabbitmq` so that it can be used as a pure-python replacement in environments where rabbitmq-c cannot be compiled.

  If you start using use py-amqp instead of amqplib you can enjoy many advantages including:

  • Heartbeat support (Issue #79 + Issue #131)
  • Consumer Cancel Notifications (Issue #131)
  • Publisher Confirms

  amqplib has not been updated in a long while, so maintaining our own fork ensures that we can quickly roll out new features and fixes without resorting to monkey patching.

  To use the py-amqp transport you must install the :mod:`amqp` library:

  $ pip install amqp

  and change the connection URL to use the correct transport:

  >>> conn = Connection('pyamqp://guest:guest@localhost//')

  The pyamqp:// transport will be the default fallback transport in Kombu version 3.0, when :mod:`librabbitmq` is not installed, and librabbitmq will also be updated to support the same features.

• Connection now supports heartbeat argument.

  If enabled you must make sure to manually maintain heartbeats by calling the Connection.heartbeat_check at twice the rate of the specified heartbeat interval.

  E.g. if you have Connection(heartbeat=10), then you must call Connection.heartbeat_check() every 5 seconds.

  if the server has not sent heartbeats at a suitable rate then the heartbeat check method must raise an error that is listed in Connection.connection_errors.

  The attribute Connection.supports_heartbeats has been added for the ability to inspect if a transport supports heartbeats or not.

  Calling heartbeat_check on a transport that does not support heartbeats results in a noop operation.

• SQS: Fixed bug with invalid characters in queue names.

  Fix contributed by Zach Smith.

• utils.reprcall: Fixed typo where kwargs argument was an empty tuple by default, and not an empty dict.

  The name Connection has been an alias for a very long time, but now the rename is official in the documentation as well.

  The Connection alias has been available since version 1.1.3, and BrokerConnection will still work and is not deprecated.

• Connection.clone() now works for the sqlalchemy transport.

• :func:`kombu.common.eventloop`, :func:`kombu.utils.uuid`, and :func:`kombu.utils.url.parse_url` can now be imported from the :mod:`kombu` module directly.

• Pidbox transport callback after_reply_message_received now happens in a finally block.

• Trying to use the librabbitmq:// transport will now show the right name in the :exc:`ImportError` if :mod:`librabbitmq` is not installed.

  The librabbitmq falls back to the older pylibrabbitmq name for compatibility reasons and would therefore show No module named pylibrabbitmq instead of librabbitmq.

Important Notes

• The canonical source code repository has been moved to

  http://github.com/celery/kombu

• Pidbox: Exchanges used by pidbox are no longer auto_delete.

  Auto delete has been described as a misfeature, and therefore we have disabled it.

  For RabbitMQ users old exchanges used by pidbox must be removed, these are named mailbox_name.pidbox, and reply.mailbox_name.pidbox.

  The following command can be used to clean up these exchanges:

  $ VHOST=/ URL=amqp:// python -c'import sys,kombu;[kombu.Connection(
      sys.argv[-1]).channel().exchange_delete(x)
          for x in sys.argv[1:-1]]' \
      $(sudo rabbitmqctl -q list_exchanges -p "$VHOST" \
      | grep \.pidbox | awk '{print $1}') "$URL"
  

  The :envvar:`VHOST` variable must be set to the target RabbitMQ virtual host, and the :envvar:`URL` must be the AMQP URL to the server.

• The amqp transport alias will now use :mod:`librabbitmq` if installed.

  py-librabbitmq is a fast AMQP client for Python using the librabbitmq C library.

  It can be installed by:

  $ pip install librabbitmq

  It will not be used if the process is monkey patched by eventlet/gevent.

News

• Redis: Ack emulation improvements.

  Reducing the possibility of data loss.

  Acks are now implemented by storing a copy of the message when the message is consumed. The copy is not removed until the consumer acknowledges or rejects it.

  This means that unacknowledged messages will be redelivered either when the connection is closed, or when the visibility timeout is exceeded.

  • Visibility timeout

    This is a timeout for acks, so that if the consumer does not ack the message within this time limit, the message is redelivered to another consumer.

    The timeout is set to one hour by default, but can be changed by configuring a transport option:

    >>> Connection('redis://', transport_options={
    ...     'visibility_timeout': 1800,  # 30 minutes
    ... })

  NOTE: Messages that have not been acked will be redelivered if the visibility timeout is exceeded, for Celery users this means that ETA/countdown tasks that are scheduled to execute with a time that exceeds the visibility timeout will be executed twice (or more). If you plan on using long ETA/countdowns you should tweak the visibility timeout accordingly:

  BROKER_TRANSPORT_OPTIONS = {'visibility_timeout': 18000}  # 5 hours

  Setting a long timeout means that it will take a long time for messages to be redelivered in the event of a power failure, but if so happens you could temporarily set the visibility timeout lower to flush out messages when you start up the systems again.

• Experimental Apache ZooKeeper transport

  More information is in the module reference: :mod:`kombu.transport.zookeeper`.

  Contributed by Mahendra M.

• Redis: Priority support.

  The message's priority field is now respected by the Redis transport by having multiple lists for each named queue. The queues are then consumed by in order of priority.

  The priority field is a number in the range of 0 - 9, where 0 is the default and highest priority.

  The priority range is collapsed into four steps by default, since it is unlikely that nine steps will yield more benefit than using four steps. The number of steps can be configured by setting the priority_steps transport option, which must be a list of numbers in sorted order:

  >>> x = Connection('redis://', transport_options={
  ...     'priority_steps': [0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9],
  ... })

  Priorities implemented in this way is not as reliable as priorities on the server side, which is why nickname the feature "quasi-priorities"; Using routing is still the suggested way of ensuring quality of service, as client implemented priorities fall short in a number of ways, e.g. if the worker is busy with long running tasks, has prefetched many messages, or the queues are congested.

  Still, it is possible that using priorities in combination with routing can be more beneficial than using routing or priorities alone. Experimentation and monitoring should be used to prove this.

• Redis: Now cycles queues so that consuming is fair.

  This ensures that a very busy queue won't block messages from other queues, and ensures that all queues have an equal chance of being consumed from.

  This used to be the case before, but the behavior was accidentally changed while switching to using blocking pop.

• Redis: Auto delete queues that are bound to fanout exchanges is now deleted at channel.close.

• amqplib: Refactored the drain_events implementation.

• Pidbox: Now uses connection.default_channel.

• Pickle serialization: Can now decode buffer objects.

• Exchange/Queue declarations can now be cached even if the entity is non-durable.

  This is possible because the list of cached declarations are now kept with the connection, so that the entities will be redeclared if the connection is lost.

• Kombu source code now only uses one-level of explicit relative imports.

Fixes

• eventio: Now ignores ENOENT raised by epoll.register, and EEXIST from epoll.unregister.

• eventio: kqueue now ignores :exc:`KeyError` on unregister.

• Redis: Message.reject now supports the requeue argument.

• Redis: Remove superfluous pipeline call.

  Fix contributed by Thomas Johansson.

• Redis: Now sets redelivered header for redelivered messages.

• Now always makes sure references to :func:`sys.exc_info` is removed.

• Beanstalk: Ignore default tube when reserving.

  Fix contributed by Zhao Xiaohong.

Nonblocking consume support

librabbitmq, amqplib and redis transports can now be used non-blocking.

The interface is very manual, and only consuming messages is non-blocking so far.

The API should not be regarded as stable or final in any way. It is used by Celery which has very limited needs at this point. Hopefully we can introduce a proper callback-based API later.

• Transport.eventmap

  Is a map of fd -> callback(fileno, event) to register in an eventloop.

• Transport.on_poll_start()

  Is called before every call to poll. The poller must support register(fd, callback) and unregister(fd) methods.

• Transport.on_poll_start(poller)

  Called when the hub is initialized. The poller argument must support the same interface as :class:`kombu.utils.eventio.poll`.

• Connection.ensure_connection now takes a callback argument which is called for every loop while the connection is down.

• Adds connection.drain_nowait

  This is a non-blocking alternative to drain_events, but only supported by amqplib/librabbitmq.

• drain_events now sets connection.more_to_read if there is more data to read.

  This is to support eventloops where other things must be handled between draining events.

• Bound Exchange/Queue's are now pickleable.

• Consumer/Producer can now be instantiated without a channel, and only later bound using .revive(channel).

• ProducerPool now takes Producer argument.

• :func:`~kombu.utils.fxrange` now counts forever if the stop argument is set to None. (fxrange is like xrange but for decimals).

• Auto delete support for virtual transports were incomplete and could lead to problems so it was removed.

• Cached declarations (:func:`~kombu.common.maybe_declare`) are now bound to the underlying connection, so that entities are redeclared if the connection is lost.

  This also means that previously uncacheable entities (e.g. non-durable) can now be cached.

• compat ConsumerSet: can now specify channel.

  (Note terribly latency has been experienced with the new pika versions, so this is still an experimental transport).

• Virtual transports: can now set polling interval via the transport options (Issue #96).

  Example:

  >>> Connection('sqs://', transport_options={
  ...     'polling_interval': 5.0})

  The default interval is transport specific, but usually 1.0s (or 5.0s for the Django database transport, which can also be set using the KOMBU_POLLING_INTERVAL setting).

• Adds convenience function: :func:`kombu.common.eventloop`.

2.0.0

release-date:	2012-01-15 06:34 P.M GMT

Important Notes

Python Compatibility

• No longer supports Python 2.4.

  Users of Python 2.4 can still use the 1.x series.

  The 1.x series has entered bugfix-only maintenance mode, and will stay that way as long as there is demand, and a willingness to maintain it.

New Transports

• django-kombu is now part of Kombu core.

  The Django message transport uses the Django ORM to store messages.

  It uses polling, with a default polling interval of 5 seconds. The polling interval can be increased or decreased by configuring the KOMBU_POLLING_INTERVAL Django setting, which is the polling interval in seconds as an int or a float. Note that shorter polling intervals can cause extreme strain on the database: if responsiveness is needed you shall consider switching to a non-polling transport.

  To use it you must use transport alias "django", or as a URL:

  django://
  

  and then add kombu.transport.django to INSTALLED_APPS, and run manage.py syncdb to create the necessary database tables.

  Upgrading

  If you have previously used django-kombu, then the entry in INSTALLED_APPS must be changed from djkombu to kombu.transport.django:

  INSTALLED_APPS = (
      # …,
      'kombu.transport.django',
  )

  If you have previously used django-kombu, then there is no need to recreate the tables, as the old tables will be fully compatible with the new version.

• kombu-sqlalchemy is now part of Kombu core.

  This change requires no code changes given that the sqlalchemy transport alias is used.

News

• :class:`kombu.mixins.ConsumerMixin` is a mixin class that lets you easily write consumer programs and threads.

  See :ref:`examples` and :ref:`guide-consumers`.

• SQS Transport: Added support for SQS queue prefixes (Issue #84).

  The queue prefix can be set using the transport option queue_name_prefix:

  BrokerTransport('SQS://', transport_options={
      'queue_name_prefix': 'myapp'})

  Contributed by Nitzan Miron.

• Producer.publish now supports automatic retry.

  Retry is enabled by the reply argument, and retry options set by the retry_policy argument:

  exchange = Exchange('foo')
  producer.publish(message, exchange=exchange, retry=True,
                   declare=[exchange], retry_policy={
                      'interval_start': 1.0})

  See :meth:`~kombu.Connection.ensure` for a list of supported retry policy options.

• Producer.publish now supports a declare keyword argument.

  This is a list of entities (:class:`Exchange`, or :class:`Queue`) that should be declared before the message is published.

Fixes

• Redis transport: Timeout was multiplied by 1000 seconds when using select for event I/O (Issue #86).

1.5.1

• Fixes issue with kombu.compat introduced in 1.5.0 (Issue #83).

• Adds the ability to disable content_types in the serializer registry.

  Any message with a content type that is disabled will be refused. One example would be to disable the Pickle serializer:

  >>> from kombu.serialization import registry
  # by name
  >>> registry.disable('pickle')
  # or by mime-type.
  >>> registry.disable('application/x-python-serialize')

1.5.0

release-date:	2011-11-27 06:00 P.M GMT
release-by:	Ask Solem

• kombu.pools: Fixed a bug resulting in resources not being properly released.

  This was caused by the use of __hash__ to distinguish them.

• Virtual transports: Dead-letter queue is now disabled by default.

  The dead-letter queue was enabled by default to help application authors, but now that Kombu is stable it should be removed. There are after all many cases where messages should just be dropped when there are no queues to buffer them, and keeping them without supporting automatic cleanup is rather considered a resource leak than a feature.

  If wanted the dead-letter queue can still be enabled, by using the deadletter_queue transport option:

  >>> x = Connection('redis://',
  ...       transport_options={'deadletter_queue': 'ae.undeliver'})

  In addition, an :class:`UndeliverableWarning` is now emitted when the dead-letter queue is enabled and a message ends up there.

• Producer and Consumer now accepts a connection instance as the first argument.

  The connections default channel will then be used.

  In addition shortcut methods has been added to Connection:

  >>> connection.Producer(exchange)
  >>> connection.Consumer(queues=..., callbacks=...)

• Connection has aquired a connected attribute that can be used to check if the connection instance has established a connection.

• ConnectionPool.acquire_channel now returns the connections default channel rather than establising a new channel that must be manually handled.

• Added kombu.common.maybe_declare

  maybe_declare(entity) declares an entity if it has not previously been declared in the same process.

• :func:`kombu.compat.entry_to_queue` has been moved to :mod:`kombu.common`

  This was previously required by the Simple classes and is now also required by :class:`Consumer` and :class:`Producer`.

• Connection.default_channel is now closed at object revival.

• Adds kombu.clocks.LamportClock.

• Broker connection info can be now be specified using URLs

  The broker hostname can now be given as a URL instead, of the format:

  transport://user:password@hostname:port/virtual_host
  

  for example the default broker is expressed as:

  >>> Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672//')

  Transport defaults to amqp, and is not required. user, password, port and virtual_host is also not mandatory and will default to the corresponding transports default.

  Note

  Note that the path component (virtual_host) always starts with a forward-slash. This is necessary to distinguish between the virtual host '' (empty) and '/', which are both acceptable virtual host names.

  A virtual host of '/' becomes:

  .. code-block:: text
  

  amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672//

  and a virtual host of '' (empty) becomes:

  amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/
  

  So the leading slash in the path component is always required.

• Now comes with default global connection and producer pools.

  The acquire a connection using the connection parameters from a :class:`Connection`:

  >>> from kombu import Connection, connections
  >>> connection = Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost//')
  >>> with connections[connection].acquire(block=True):
  ...     # do something with connection

  To acquire a producer using the connection parameters from a :class:`Connection`:

  >>> from kombu import Connection, producers
  >>> connection = Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost//')
  >>> with producers[connection].acquire(block=True):
  ...     producer.publish({'hello': 'world'}, exchange='hello')

  Acquiring a producer will in turn also acquire a connection from the associated pool in connections, so you the number of producers is bound the same limit as number of connections.

  The default limit of 100 connections per connection instance can be changed by doing:

  >>> from kombu import pools
  >>> pools.set_limit(10)

  The pool can also be forcefully closed by doing:

  >>> from kombu import pools
  >>> pool.reset()

• SQS Transport: Persistence using SimpleDB is now disabled by default, after reports of unstable SimpleDB connections leading to errors.

• :class:`Producer` can now be used as a context manager.

• Producer.__exit__ now properly calls release instead of close.

  The previous behavior would lead to a memory leak when using the :class:`kombu.pools.ProducerPool`

• Now silences all exceptions from import ctypes to match behaviour of the standard Python uuid module, and avoid passing on MemoryError exceptions on SELinux-enabled systems (Issue #52 + Issue #53)

• amqp is now an alias to the amqplib transport.

• kombu.syn.detect_environment now returns 'default', 'eventlet', or 'gevent' depending on what monkey patches have been installed.

• Serialization registry has new attribute type_to_name so it is possible to lookup serializater name by content type.

• Exchange argument to Producer.publish can now be an :class:`Exchange` instance.

• compat.Publisher now supports the channel keyword argument.

• Acking a message on some transports could lead to :exc:`KeyError` being raised (Issue #57).

• Connection pool: Connections are no long instantiated when the pool is created, but instantiated as needed instead.

• Tests now pass on PyPy.

• Connection.as_uri now includes the password if the keyword argument include_password is set.

• Virtual transports now comes with a default default_connection_params attribute.

• Redis: Now automatically deletes auto_delete queues at basic_cancel.

• serialization.unregister added so it is possible to remove unwanted seralizers.

• Fixes MemoryError while importing ctypes on SELinux (Issue #52).

• Connection.autoretry is a version of ensure that works with arbitrary functions (i.e. it does not need an associated object that implements the revive method.

  Example usage:

  channel = connection.channel()
  try:
      ret, channel = connection.autoretry(send_messages, channel=channel)
  finally:
      channel.close()

• ConnectionPool.acquire no longer force establishes the connection.

  The connection will be established as needed.

• Connection.ensure now supports an on_revive callback that is applied whenever the connection is re-established.

• Consumer.consuming_from(queue) returns True if the Consumer is consuming from queue.

• Consumer.cancel_by_queue did not remove the queue from queues.

• compat.ConsumerSet.add_queue_from_dict now automatically declared the queue if auto_declare set.

• Redis: Consuming from multiple connections now works with Eventlet.

• Redis: Can now perform channel operations while the channel is in BRPOP/LISTEN mode (Issue #35).

  Also the async BRPOP now times out after 1 second, this means that canceling consuming from a queue/starting consuming from additional queues has a latency of up to one second (BRPOP does not support subsecond timeouts).

• Virtual: Allow channel objects to be closed multiple times without error.

• amqplib: AttributeError has been added to the list of known connection related errors (:attr:`Connection.connection_errors`).

• amqplib: Now converts :exc:`SSLError` timeout errors to :exc:`socket.timeout` (http://bugs.python.org/issue10272)

• Ensures cyclic references are destroyed when the connection is closed.

Important Notes

• Virtual transports: Message body is now base64 encoded by default (Issue #27).

  This should solve problems sending binary data with virtual transports.

  Message compatibility is handled by adding a body_encoding property, so messages sent by older versions is compatible with this release. However -- If you are accessing the messages directly not using Kombu, then you have to respect the body_encoding property.

  If you need to disable base64 encoding then you can do so via the transport options:

  Connection(transport='...',
             transport_options={'body_encoding': None})

  For transport authors:

  You don't have to change anything in your custom transports, as this is handled automatically by the base class.

  If you want to use a different encoder you can do so by adding a key to Channel.codecs. Default encoding is specified by the Channel.body_encoding attribute.

  A new codec must provide two methods: encode(data) and decode(data).

• ConnectionPool/ChannelPool/Resource: Setting limit=None (or 0) now disables pool semantics, and will establish and close the resource whenever acquired or released.

• ConnectionPool/ChannelPool/Resource: Is now using a LIFO queue instead of the previous FIFO behavior.

  This means that the last resource released will be the one acquired next. I.e. if only a single thread is using the pool this means only a single connection will ever be used.

• Connection: Cloned connections did not inherit transport_options (__copy__).

• contrib/requirements is now located in the top directory of the distribution.

• MongoDB: Now supports authentication using the userid and password arguments to :class:`Connection` (Issue #30).

• Connection: Default autentication credentials are now delegated to the individual transports.

  This means that the userid and password arguments to Connection is no longer guest/guest by default.

  The amqplib and pika transports will still have the default credentials.

• :meth:`Consumer.__exit__` did not have the correct signature (Issue #32).

• Channel objects now have a channel_id attribute.

• MongoDB: Version sniffing broke with development versions of

  mongod (Issue #29).

• New environment variable :envvar:`KOMBU_LOG_CONNECTION` will now emit debug

  log messages for connection related actions.

  :envvar:`KOMBU_LOG_DEBUG` will also enable :envvar:`KOMBU_LOG_CONNECTION`.

1.0.7

release-by:	Ask Solem

• Now depends on anyjson 0.3.1

  cjson is no longer a recommended json implementation, and anyjson will now emit a deprecation warning if used.

• Please note that the Pika backend only works with version 0.5.2.

  The latest version (0.9.x) drastically changed API, and it is not compatible yet.

• on_decode_error is now called for exceptions in message_to_python (Issue #24).

• Redis: did not respect QoS settings.

• Redis: Creating a connection now ensures the connection is established.

  This means Connection.ensure_connection works properly with Redis.

• consumer_tag argument to Queue.consume can't be :const:`None` (Issue #21).

  A None value is now automatically converted to empty string. An empty string will make the server generate a unique tag.

• Connection now supports a transport_options argument.

  This can be used to pass additional arguments to transports.

• Pika: drain_events raised :exc:`socket.timeout` even if no timeout set (Issue #8).

1.0.6

release-by:	Ask Solem

• The delivery_mode aliases (persistent/transient) were not automatically converted to integer, and would cause a crash if using the amqplib transport.

• Redis: The redis-py :exc:`InvalidData` exception suddenly changed name to :exc:`DataError`.

• The :envvar:`KOMBU_LOG_DEBUG` environment variable can now be set to log all channel method calls.

  Support for the following environment variables have been added:

  • :envvar:`KOMBU_LOG_CHANNEL` will wrap channels in an object that logs every method call.
  • :envvar:`KOMBU_LOG_DEBUG` both enables channel logging and configures the root logger to emit messages to standard error.

  Example Usage:

  $ KOMBU_LOG_DEBUG=1 python
  >>> from kombu import Connection
  >>> conn = Connection()
  >>> channel = conn.channel()
  Start from server, version: 8.0, properties:
      {u'product': 'RabbitMQ',..............  }
  Open OK! known_hosts []
  using channel_id: 1
  Channel open

• Fixed memory leak when creating virtual channels. All virtual transports affected (redis, mongodb, memory, django, sqlalchemy, couchdb, beanstalk).

• Virtual Transports: Fixed potential race condition when acking messages.

  If you have been affected by this, the error would show itself as an exception raised by the OrderedDict implementation. (object no longer exists).

• MongoDB transport requires the findandmodify command only available in MongoDB 1.3+, so now raises an exception if connected to an incompatible server version.

• Virtual Transports: basic.cancel should not try to remove unknown consumer tag.
