Comment 3 for bug 334404

Release: RabbitMQ 1.5.3

server
------
bug fixes
- prevent the shell from attempting to perform path expansion on vars
  in the startup scripts, which was resulting in errors when starting
  rabbit on some systems.
- make guid generation independent of persister, thus preventing
  timeouts when the persister is busy
- get scripts to source configuration from /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf
  rather than /etc/default/rabbitmq, since the latter is reserved for
  init.d scripts.

building & packaging
--------------------
enhancements
- minor tweaks in Debian and RPM packaging for better compliance with
  packaging guidelines
- place wrapper scripts for rabbitmq-server and rabbitmq-multi
  alongside the rabbitmqctl wrapper in /usr/sbin
- do not start the server by default on RPM-based systems, in order to
  comply with common practice and guidelines
- suppress stdout in logrotate scripts, to keep cron et al happy
