As stated in the announcement Q&A, the source code will likely remain open, only with a license change and additional requirement to purchase a license to use the v9 packages.

Chris Patterson @phatboyg.com · Apr 3

To follow up on today's announcement, I've updated the site to include a Q&A section with answers to many of the questions brought up today. I want to be clear and transparent, so keep the questions coming.

Europe is a huge MassTransit market, along with Australia and Asia. Definitely a lot of use in the US, and many consulting companies use it as well for customer application builds. The number of paying support customers is not surprisingly a fairly low percentage overall.

MassTransit v8.3.3 is now available, and includes a number of fixes related to the RabbitMQ.Client v7 migration. The reconnection problems appear to the resolved with this version. If you are using v8.3.2 with RabbitMQ, you should upgrade immediately to v8.3.3.

It is common that a service may need to combine database writes with publishing events and/or sending commands. And in this scenario, it is usually desirable to do this atomically in a transaction. Ho...

RabbitMQ Client v7 Master · Issue #5705 · MassTransit/MassTransit

Chris Patterson @phatboyg.com · Dec 3

There are some odd behaviors that I'm investigating related to the RabbitMQ.Client v7. If you're using RabbitMQ and don't urgently need to be on the latest client, I'd suggest staying on MassTransit v8.3.1 until they're sorted out. The issues are being tracked on GitHub: github.com/MassTransit/...

This is a master issue tracking all the issues related to the upgrade to the RabbitMQ.Client v7. The issue may be MassTransit related, or somehow related to the v7 client itself, so this isn't putt...

But the idea of providing a synchronous facade on top of what is by nature an asynchronous operation seems like a hack, and very specific to the app model (UI vs background, etc.) - this is why ConfigureAwait and SynchronizationContext's are such a pain to manage within the library code itself.

I'm actually in favor of the new asynchronous API's they've created, as long as they work as expected. I'm seeing issues with MT v8.3.2 likely related to connection/channel management and notifications with disconnects and the way the thread pool is used/limited. I'm ready to engage their team on it

Are there many people actually using those older EF libraries with any current builds of anything? Most of the people I know using MassTransit with older builds are actually using older/unsupported builds of MassTransit as well. Many seem to take "we aren't upgrading" as a wholesale statement.
