As announced previously on the RabbitMQ mailing list, RabbitMQ 3.6.x release series will reach end of life on May 1st, 2018.
What this means:
3.6.x releases after May 2018 are highly unlikely
Security patches may be provided depending on their severity through September 1st, 2018
Bugs that only affect 3.6.x releases won't be addressed
Most recent 3.6.x version packages will continue to be available from Bintray, Package Cloud and GitHub
We encourage all 3.6.x users to upgrade to the latest release.
We welcome any questions you may have on our official mailing list, rabbitmq-users.
