Release Notes

grpc/grpc-go (google.golang.org/grpc)

v1.78.0: Release 1.78.0

Compare Source

Behavior Changes

• client: Reject target URLs containing unbracketed colons in the hostname in Go version 1.26+. (#​8716)
  • Special Thanks: @​neild

New Features

• stats/otel: Add backend service label to wrr metrics as part of A89. (#​8737)
• stats/otel: Add subchannel metrics (without the disconnection reason) to eventually replace the pickfirst metrics. (#​8738)
• client: Wait for all pending goroutines to complete when closing a graceful switch balancer. (#​8746)
  • Special Thanks: @​twz123

Bug Fixes

• transport/client : Return status code Unknown on malformed grpc-status. (#​8735)
• client: Add experimental.AcceptCompressors so callers can restrict the grpc-accept-encoding header advertised for a call. (#​8718)
  • Special Thanks: @​iblancasa
• xds: Fix a bug in StringMatcher where regexes would match incorrectly when ignore_case is set to true. (#​8723)
• xds/resolver:
  • Drop previous route resources and report an error when no matching virtual host is found.
  • Only log LDS/RDS configuration errors following a successful update and retain the last valid resource to prevent transient failures. (#​8711)
• client:
  • Change connectivity state to CONNECTING when creating the name resolver (as part of exiting IDLE).
  • Change connectivity state to TRANSIENT_FAILURE if name resolver creation fails (as part of exiting IDLE).
  • Change connectivity state to IDLE after idle timeout expires even when current state is TRANSIENT_FAILURE.
  • Fix a bug that resulted in OnFinish call option not being invoked for RPCs where stream creation failed. (#​8710)
• xdsclient: Fix a race in the xdsClient that could lead to resource-not-found errors. (#​8627)

Performance Improvements

• mem: Round up to nearest 4KiB for pool allocations larger than 1MiB. (#​8705)
  • Special Thanks: @​cjc25

v1.77.0: Release 1.77.0

Compare Source

API Changes

• mem: Replace the Reader interface with a struct for better performance and maintainability. (#​8669)

Behavior Changes

• balancer/pickfirst: Remove support for the old pick_first LB policy via the environment variable GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_NEW_PICK_FIRST=false. The new pick_first has been the default since v1.71.0. (#​8672)

Bug Fixes

• xdsclient: Fix a race condition in the ADS stream implementation that could result in resource-not-found errors, causing the gRPC client channel to move to TransientFailure. (#​8605)
• client: Ignore HTTP status header for gRPC streams. (#​8548)
• client: Set a read deadline when closing a transport to prevent it from blocking indefinitely on a broken connection. (#​8534)
  • Special Thanks: @​jgold2-stripe
• client: Fix a bug where default port 443 was not automatically added to addresses without a specified port when sent to a proxy.
  • Setting environment variable GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_DEFAULT_PORT_FOR_PROXY_TARGET=false disables this change; please file a bug if any problems are encountered as we will remove this option soon. (#​8613)
• balancer/pickfirst: Fix a bug where duplicate addresses were not being ignored as intended. (#​8611)
• server: Fix a bug that caused overcounting of channelz metrics for successful and failed streams. (#​8573)
  • Special Thanks: @​hugehoo
• balancer/pickfirst: When configured, shuffle addresses in resolver updates that lack endpoints. Since gRPC automatically adds endpoints to resolver updates, this bug only affects custom LB policies that delegate to pick_first but don't set endpoints. (#​8610)
• mem: Clear large buffers before re-using. (#​8670)

Performance Improvements

• transport: Reduce heap allocations to reduce time spent in garbage collection. (#​8624, #​8630, #​8639, #​8668)
• transport: Avoid copies when reading and writing Data frames. (#​8657, #​8667)
• mem: Avoid clearing newly allocated buffers. (#​8670)

New Features

• outlierdetection: Add metrics specified in gRFC A91. (#​8644)
  • Special Thanks: @​davinci26, @​PardhuKonakanchi
• stats/opentelemetry: Add support for optional label grpc.lb.backend_service in per-call metrics (#​8637)
• xds: Add support for JWT Call Credentials as specified in gRFC A97. Set environment variable GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_XDS_BOOTSTRAP_CALL_CREDS=true to enable this feature. (#​8536)
  • Special Thanks: @​dimpavloff
• experimental/stats: Add support for up/down counters. (#​8581)

v1.76.0: Release 1.76.0

Compare Source

Dependencies

• Minimum supported Go version is now 1.24 (#​8509)
  • Special Thanks: @​kevinGC

Bug Fixes

• client: Return status INTERNAL when a server sends zero response messages for a unary or client-streaming RPC. (#​8523)
• client: Fail RPCs with status INTERNAL instead of UNKNOWN upon receiving http headers with status 1xx and END_STREAM flag set. (#​8518)
  • Special Thanks: @​vinothkumarr227
• pick_first: Fix race condition that could cause pick_first to get stuck in IDLE state on backend address change. (#​8615)

New Features

• credentials: Add credentials/jwt package providing file-based JWT PerRPCCredentials (A97). (#​8431)
  • Special Thanks: @​dimpavloff

Performance Improvements

• client: Improve HTTP/2 header size estimate to reduce re-allocations. (#​8547)
• encoding/proto: Avoid redundant message size calculation when marshaling. (#​8569)
  • Special Thanks: @​rs-unity

v1.75.1: Release 1.75.1

Compare Source

Bug Fixes

• transport: Fix a data race while copying headers for stats handlers in the std lib http2 server transport. (#​8519)
• xdsclient:
  • Fix a data race caused while reporting load to LRS. (#​8483)
  • Fix regression preventing empty node IDs when creating an LRS client. (#​8483)
• server: Fix a regression preventing streams from being cancelled or timed out when blocked on flow control. (#​8528)

v1.75.0: Release 1.75.0

Compare Source

Behavior Changes

• xds: Remove support for GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_XDS_FALLBACK environment variable. Fallback support can no longer be disabled. (#​8482)
• stats: Introduce DelayedPickComplete event, a type alias of PickerUpdated. (#​8465)
  • This (combined) event will now be emitted only once per call, when a transport is successfully selected for the attempt.
  • OpenTelemetry metrics will no longer have multiple "Delayed LB pick complete" events in Go, matching other gRPC languages.
  • A future release will delete the PickerUpdated symbol.
• credentials: Properly apply grpc.WithAuthority as the highest-priority option for setting authority, above the setting in the credentials themselves. (#​8488)
  • Now that this WithAuthority is available, the credentials should not be used to override the authority.
• round_robin: Randomize the order in which addresses are connected to in order to spread out initial RPC load between clients. (#​8438)
• server: Return status code INTERNAL when a client sends more than one request in unary and server streaming RPC. (#​8385)
  • This is a behavior change but also a bug fix to bring gRPC-Go in line with the gRPC spec.

New Features

• dns: Add an environment variable (GRPC_ENABLE_TXT_SERVICE_CONFIG) to provide a way to disable TXT lookups in the DNS resolver (by setting it to false). By default, TXT lookups are enabled, as they were previously. (#​8377)

Bug Fixes

• xds: Fix regression preventing empty node IDs in xDS bootstrap configuration. (#​8476)
  • Special Thanks: @​davinci26
• xds: Fix possible panic when certain invalid resources are encountered. (#​8412)
  • Special Thanks: @​wooffie
• xdsclient: Fix a rare panic caused by processing a response from a closed server. (#​8389)
• stats: Fix metric unit formatting by enclosing non-standard units like call and endpoint in curly braces to comply with UCUM and gRPC OpenTelemetry guidelines. (#​8481)
• xds: Fix possible panic when clusters are removed from the xds configuration. (#​8428)
• xdsclient: Fix a race causing "resource doesn not exist" when rapidly subscribing and unsubscribing to the same resource. (#​8369)
• client: When determining the authority, properly percent-encode (if needed, which is unlikely) when the target string omits the hostname and only specifies a port (grpc.NewClient(":<port-number-or-name>")). (#​8488)

v1.74.3: Release 1.74.3

Compare Source

Bug Fixes

• xds: Fix a regression preventing empty node IDs in the bootstrap configuration. (#​8476 , #​8483)
• xdsclient: Fix a data race caused while reporting load to LRS. (#​8483)
• server: Fix a regression preventing streams from being cancelled or timed out when blocked on flow control. (#​8528)

v1.74.2: Release 1.74.2

Compare Source

New Features

• grpc: introduce new DialOptions and ServerOptions (WithStaticStreamWindowSize, WithStaticConnWindowSize, StaticStreamWindowSize, StaticConnWindowSize) that force fixed window sizes for all HTTP/2 connections. By default, gRPC uses dynamic sizing of these windows based upon a BDP estimation algorithm. The existing options (WithInitialWindowSize, etc) also disable BDP estimation, but this behavior will be changed in a following release. (#​8283)

API Changes

• balancer: add ExitIdle method to Balancer interface. Earlier, implementing this method was optional. (#​8367)

Behavior Changes

• xds: Remove the GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_LEAST_REQUEST environment variable that allows disabling the least request balancer with xDS. Least request was made available by default with xDS in v1.72.0. (#​8248)
  • Special Thanks: @​atollena
• server: allow 0s grpc-timeout header values, which older gRPC-Java versions could send. This restores the behavior of grpc-go before v1.73.0. (#​8439)

Bug Fixes

• googledirectpath: avoid logging the error message Attempt to set a bootstrap configuration... when creating multiple directpath channels. (#​8419)

Performance Improvements

• transport: reduce heap allocations by pooling objects and avoiding method-to-closure conversions. (#​8361)
• transport: reduce heap allocations by re-using mem.Reader objects. (#​8360)

Documentation

• examples: add examples to demonstrate enabling experimental metrics using the OpenTelemetry plugin. (#​8388)
  • Special Thanks: @​vinothkumarr227
