API Deprecation in gocardless-ruby

When initialising gocardless-ruby with your GoCardless account details, your merchant id must now be passed in explicitly. This means that including the manage_merchant scope in the token attribute is now deprecated.

Before

GoCardless.account_details = {
  :app_id     => 'APP_ID_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
 :app_secret => 'APP_SECRET_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',

RabbitMQ Basics

As demonstrated by the tutorials on the website, RabbitMQ can be used for everything from queuing background work to building RPC systems. To use RabbitMQ effectively, it is important to understand the core concepts: queues, exchanges, bindings, and messages. The documentation on rabbitmq.com is excellent, so I won't go into much depth, but it's worth briefly mentioning the core ideas.

Basic Terminology

Exchanges are where messages are sent. Every time a message is pushed in to RabbitMQ, it goes through an exchange.
