Akka.Hosting 1.5.62
1.5.62 March 4th 2026
Updates
1.5.61 February 26th 2026
Updates
1.5.60 February 10th 2026
New Features
- Add OpenTelemetry trace correlation support for LoggerFactoryLogger - enables proper trace correlation for logs emitted from actor code. Solves the problem that
Activity.Currentdoesn't flow across actor mailbox boundaries because it usesAsyncLocal<T>. When using Akka.NET 1.5.59+,LogEvent.ActivityContextcaptures trace context at log creation time and flows it through to OpenTelemetryLogRecords via the newAkkaTraceContextProcessor. Register withoptions.AddAkkaTraceCorrelation()in your OpenTelemetry logging configuration. - Add WithContext() integration tests for MEL logger - confirmed that Akka.NET 1.5.60's
WithContext()logging context enrichment works automatically withLoggerFactoryLogger. Context properties set via the coreWithContext()API flow through to Microsoft.Extensions.Logging state dictionaries viaTryGetProperties()without any code changes needed.
Bug Fixes
- Fix
WithDefaultLogMessageFormatter<T>()rejecting built-in formatters -SemanticLogMessageFormatterandDefaultLogMessageFormatterhave private constructors (they use singletonInstanceproperties), but the validation only accepted public parameterless constructors. These built-in types are now correctly accepted.
Deprecations
WithDefaultLogMessageFormatter<T>()is now marked[Obsolete]—SemanticLogMessageFormatteris the default as of Akka.NET 1.5.58 and no longer needs to be set explicitly. The method still works for customILogMessageFormatterimplementations.
Updates
1.5.60-beta1 January 29th 2026
Beta Release
This is a beta release for testing the OpenTelemetry trace correlation feature that was merged after 1.5.59.
New Features
- Add OpenTelemetry trace correlation support for LoggerFactoryLogger - enables proper trace correlation for logs emitted from actor code. Solves the problem that
Activity.Currentdoesn't flow across actor mailbox boundaries because it usesAsyncLocal<T>. When using Akka.NET 1.5.59+,LogEvent.ActivityContextcaptures trace context at log creation time and flows it through to OpenTelemetryLogRecords via the newAkkaTraceContextProcessor.

Register withoptions.AddAkkaTraceCorrelation()in your OpenTelemetry logging configuration.
Bug Fixes
- Fix semantic logging not capturing named placeholders as structured properties - resolved issue #701 where named placeholders like
{Event}in log messages were not captured as searchable structured properties. Made allLoggerConfigBuilderproperties optional and refactored message formatting code. - Fix TestKit startup timeout race condition - resolved race condition in
TestKit.InitializeAsync()whereCancellationTokenSource.Register()threw exceptions on the timer thread, causing unhandled exceptions that crashed the test host process. Also increased default startup timeout from 10s to 30s for CI environments.
Updates
- Bump Akka version from 1.5.58 to 1.5.59
- Added
OpenTelemetrypackage dependency (1.9.0+) for trace correlation support
1.5.58 January 9th 2026
Updates
1.5.57 December 16th 2025
New Features
- Add semantic logging support for Akka.NET 1.5.56+ - enables Microsoft.Extensions.Logging to receive properly structured state dictionaries instead of pre-formatted strings. When using Akka.NET 1.5.56+, log messages now include structured properties from the semantic logging API along with Akka metadata (ActorPath, Timestamp, Thread, LogSource). Fully backwards compatible with older Akka.NET versions.
Updates
1.5.55.1 October 27th 2025
Enhancements
- Expose options in journal and snapshot builders - resolved issue #690 by adding
Optionsproperty toAkkaPersistenceJournalBuilderandAkkaPersistenceSnapshotBuilder. Extension methods can now access configuration details without requiring options as explicit parameters, eliminating redundant option passing for connectivity health checks and other plugin-specific features
1.5.55 October 26th 2025
New Features
- Support custom health check registrations on Journal and Snapshot Builders - added API to support custom health check registrations for Akka.Persistence plugins, related to issue #678
- Add support for custom certificate validation callbacks - integrated the new
CertificateValidationCallbackfeature from Akka.NET v1.5.55, allowing users to provide custom certificate validation logic for SSL/TLS connections. Enables advanced scenarios including certificate pinning, subject/issuer matching, custom business validation rules, and advanced mTLS scenarios
Enhancements
- Add customizable tags parameter to health check methods - resolved issue #679 by adding new overload allowing custom tags for health checks while maintaining backward compatibility
- Made it easier to customize failureState and tags for all health checks - simplified health check configuration API for all health checks

Updates
1.5.53 October 14th 2025
Bug Fixes
- Fix event adapter callback API not invoking adapters at runtime - resolved critical bug where event adapters configured via the callback API were not being invoked at runtime. This fix is especially important for users who have migrated to the callback pattern following the deprecation of
JournalOptions.Adaptersproperty. The issue was caused by unnecessary fallback configuration that interfered with adapter registration during HOCON merging.
Updates
- Add SSL/TLS configuration settings from Akka.NET 1.5.52 and 1.5.53 - updated SSL/TLS configuration options to support new features and settings introduced in Akka.NET versions 1.5.52 and 1.5.53
- Bump Akka version from 1.5.52 to 1.5.53
1.5.52 October 9th 2025
API Changes
- Deprecate JournalOptions.Adapters property in favor of callback API - resolved issue #665 by deprecating the
JournalOptions.Adaptersproperty. Users should migrate to the unified callback pattern:builder.WithJournal(options, journal => journal.AddWriteEventAdapter<T>(...)). The deprecated property will be removed in v1.6.0.

Updates
1.5.53 October 14th 2025
Bug Fixes
- Fix event adapter callback API not invoking adapters at runtime - resolved critical bug where event adapters configured via the callback API were not being invoked at runtime. This fix is especially important for users who have migrated to the callback pattern following the deprecation of
JournalOptions.Adaptersproperty. The issue was caused by unnecessary fallback configuration that interfered with adapter registration during HOCON merging.
Updates
- Add SSL/TLS configuration settings from Akka.NET 1.5.52 and 1.5.53 - updated SSL/TLS configuration options to support new features and settings introduced in Akka.NET versions 1.5.52 and 1.5.53

1.5.52 October 9th 2025
API Changes
- Deprecate JournalOptions.Adapters property in favor of callback API - resolved issue #665 by deprecating the
JournalOptions.Adaptersproperty. Users should migrate to the unified callback pattern:builder.WithJournal(options, journal => journal.AddWriteEventAdapter<T>(...)). The deprecated property will be removed in v1.6.0.
Updates
