- Heartbeat implementation improved (Issue 6).
The new heartbeat behavior is the same approach as taken by the
RabbitMQ java library.
This also means that clients should preferably call the ``heartbeat_tick``
method more frequently (like every second) instead of using the old
``rate`` argument (which is now ignored).
- Heartbeat interval is negotiated with the server.
- Some delay is allowed if the heartbeat is late.
- Monotonic time is used to keep track of the heartbeat
instead of relying on the caller to call the checking function
at the right time.
