advancedtls 1.0.0

Background

This is the first major release of the advancedtls package for configuring advanced security features in grpc-go. This has previously been an experimental API.

Incompatible changes from experimental APIs

See #7303 for the APIs that have been removed from previous experimental versions of the package.

protoc-gen-go-grpc v1.4.0

New Features

• Add an optional implementation of streams using generics (Experimental) (#7057)
  • The new use_generic_stream_experimental=true option will cause the gRPC codegen to use prebuilt generic types to implement client and server stream objects, rather than generating new types and implementations for every RPC method. We intend to transition this to the default behavior in the next release. Please test it and provide any feedback.
  • Special Thanks: @aarongable
• Copy service comments to interfaces in generated code (#7243)
  • Special Thanks: @silves-xiang

Documentation

• grpc: Deprecate WithBlock, WithReturnConnectionError, FailOnNonTempDialError which are ignored by NewClient (#7097)
  • Special Thanks: @pellared

Release 1.63.0

Behavior Changes

• grpc: Return canonical target string from resolver.Address.String() (experimental) (#6923)
• client & server: when using write buffer pooling, use input value for buffer size instead of size*2 (#6983)
  • Special Thanks: @raghav-stripe

New Features

• grpc: add ClientConn.CanonicalTarget() to return the canonical target string. (#7006)
• xds: implement LRS named metrics support (gRFC A64) (#7027)

• server: Fix some errors returned by a server when using a grpc.Server as an http.Handler with the Go stdlib HTTP server (#6989)
• resolver/dns: add SetResolvingTimeout to allow configuring the DNS resolver's global timeout (#6917)
  • Special Thanks: @and1truong
• Set the security level of Windows named pipes to NoSecurity (#6956)
  • Special Thanks: @irsl

Release 1.62.2

Dependencies

Release 1.61.2

Dependencies

• Update http2 library to address vulnerability CVE-2023-45288

Release 1.62.1

Bug Fixes

• xds: fix a bug that results in no matching virtual host found RPC errors due to a difference between the target and LDS resource names (#6997)
• server: fixed stats handler data InPayload.Length for unary RPC calls (#6766)
  • Special Thanks: @hueypark
• grpc: the experimental RecvBufferPool DialOption and ServerOption are now active during unary RPCs with compression (#6766)

GCP Observability v1.0.1

Update dependencies

The latest released version of stackdriver depends upon an unstable version of prometheus. Symbols needed by stackdriver were moved inside of prometheus after this release. To address this, this release updates our dependencies to use an unreleased version of stackdriver (which is archived) that removed its dependency on prometheus entirely. Please see #7008 for more details.
