Changes between Bunny 2.19.x and 2.20.0 (December 15, 2022)

New Bunny::Channel helpers for declaring quorum queues and streams

Introduce a few helpers for quorum queues, streams, and durable client-named
queues in general, similar in spirit to Bunny::Channel#temporary_queue
for temporary queues.

Bunny::Channel#quorum_queue

Bunny::Channel#quorum_queue accepts a name (server-generated names are not supported)
and a set of options arguments,
and declares a quorum queue.

Durability, exclusivity, and auto-delete properties will be ignored: it only makes
sense for quorum queues to be durable, non-exclusive and non-auto-delete since
they are all about data safety.

Bunny::Channel#stream

Bunny::Channel#stream accepts a name (server-generated names are not supported)
and a set of options arguments,
and declares a stream that Bunny
can use over AMQP 0-9-1 as if it was a replicated queue (without any stream-specific operations).

Durability, exclusivity, and auto-delete properties will be ignored: it only makes
sense for streams to be durable, non-exclusive and non-auto-delete since they are by definition a durable replicated data structure for non-transient
(or at least not entirely transient) data.

Bunny::Channel#durable_queue

Bunny::Channel#durable_queue accepts a name (server-generated names are not supported),
a queue type (one of: Bunny::Queue::Types::QUORUM, Bunny::Queue::Types::CLASSIC, Bunny::Queue::Types::STREAM), and a set of options arguments,
and declares a quorum queue.

Durability, exclusivity, and auto-delete properties will be ignored by design, just
like Bunny::Channel#temporary_queue overrides them to declare transient queues.

Bunny::Queue::Types

Bunny::Queue::Types is a module with a few constants that represent currently available
queue types:

• Bunny::Queue::Types::QUORUM
• Bunny::Queue::Types::CLASSIC
• Bunny::Queue::Types::STREAM

Their names are self-explanatory.
