-RabbitMQ `3.10.15` is a maintenance release in the `3.10.x` [release series](https://www.rabbitmq.com/versions.html).
+Due to a release pipeline failure that was not practically
+possible to "retry", RabbitMQ `3.10.15` never shipped.
 
-This series [**reaches end of general support** on July 31st, 2023](https://rabbitmq.com/versions.html).
-
-Please refer to the upgrade section from [v3.10.0 release notes](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/tag/v3.10.0)
-if upgrading from a version prior to 3.10.0.
-
-This release **requires Erlang 24.3** and supports Erlang 25.
-[RabbitMQ and Erlang/OTP Compatibility Matrix](https://www.rabbitmq.com/which-erlang.html) has more details on
-Erlang version requirements for RabbitMQ.
-
-
-### Minimum Supported Erlang Version
-
-Erlang 23 and 24 versions older than 24.3 have reached [end of support](https://www.rabbitmq.com/which-erlang.html).
-
-This release of RabbitMQ requires Erlang 24.3 or later versions. Nodes **will fail to start** on older Erlang releases.
-
-Erlang 25 is recommended: it offers much improved performance on ARM64 architectures, [profiling with flame graphs](https://blog.rabbitmq.com/posts/2022/05/flame-graphs/)
-across all architectures, and the most recent TLS 1.3 implementation.
-
-
-## Changes Worth Mentioning
-
-Release notes can be found on GitHub at [rabbitmq-server/release-notes](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/tree/v3.10.x/release-notes).

-
-### CLI Tools
-
-#### Features
-
- * `rabbitmqctl hash_password` is a new command that produces a [hashed value](https://www.rabbitmq.com/passwords.html#computing-password-hash) of the provided password.
-
-   Contributed by @SimonUnge (AWS).
-
-   GitHub issue: [#5957](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/5957)
-
- * `rabbitmq-diagnostics check_port_connectivity` now supports a new optional flag, `--address`,
-   that makes the check connect to a specific IP address instead of resolving node's hostname.
-   This is useful when target node is configured to only listen for connections on one interface
-   but not others:
-
-   ``` shell
-   rabbitmq-diagnostics check_port_connectivity --address 127.0.0.1
-   rabbitmq-diagnostics check_port_connectivity --address "::1"
-   ```
-
-   GitHub issue: [#6853](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/6853)
-
-
-### Management Plugin
-
-#### Bug Fixes
-
- * User filtering combined with pagination in the management UI did not work as expected.
-
-   GitHub issue: [#4908](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/4908)
-
- * Correctly format JSON field value in channel detail API response.
-
-   Contributed @Syuparn.
-
-   GitHub issue: [#2684](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/2684)
-
-
-### AMQP 1.0 Plugin
-
-#### Bug Fixes
-
- * AMQP 1.0 connection churn resulted in a memory leak.
-
-   GitHub issue: [#6969](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/6969)
-
-
-## Dependency Upgrades
-
-None in this release.
-
-
-## Source Code Archives
-
-To obtain source code of the entire distribution, please download the archive named `rabbitmq-server-3.10.15.tar.xz`
-instead of the source tarball produced by GitHub.
+Instead, `3.10.16` was released on the same day after the issue had been addressed.
