Node.js amqplib must be upgraded for compatibility with RabbitMQ 4.1.0

[michaelklishin]

Node.js amqplib uses must upgrade to version 0.10.7 of the library before upgrading to RabbitMQ 4.1.0.

Below is an extract from the RabbitMQ 4.1.0 release notes.

Initial AMQP 0-9-1 Maximum Frame Size

Before a client connection can negotiate a maximum frame size (frame_max), it must authenticate
successfully. Before the authenticated phase, a special lower frame_max value is used.

With this release, the value was increased from the original 4096 bytes to 8192
to accommodate larger JWT tokens.

Clients that do override frame_max now must use values of 8192 bytes or greater.
We recommend using the default server value of 131072: do not override the frame_max
key in rabbitmq.conf and do not set it in the application code.

Node.js amqplib Must Be Upgraded

amqplib is a popular client library that has been using
a low frame_max default of 4096. Its users must upgrade to a compatible version
(starting with 0.10.7) or explicitly use a higher frame_max.

amqplib versions older than 0.10.7 will not be able to connect to
RabbitMQ 4.1.0 and later versions due to the initial AMQP 0-9-1 maximum frame size
increase covered above.
