Bug Fixes
Using pika to make RPC-style calls from Tornado could result in an application crash
When making a remote procedure call from a tornado web application using the pika RabbitMQ library's Tornado connection, it is possible for the tornado web application to crash. Pika Tornado connections no longer result in an application crash.
AttributeError generated from an unregistered application starting a MessageTransaction
Applications which consume message transactions and do not call
register_applicationcan raise an AttributeError resulting in an application crash. This issue has now been fixed.
