Release Notes

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

v1.82.1: Release 1.82.1

Compare Source

Security

• server: Stop reading from the connection when flooded by HTTP/2 frames. The default value for this limit is 100 frames, excluding DATA and HEADERS, and may be changed by setting environment variable GRPC_GO_EXPERIMENTAL_CONTROL_BUFFER_THROTTLE_LIMIT.
• xds/rbac: Support Metadata and RequestedServerName permissions matcher fields. If present in a DENY rule, previously these would be ignored and fail-open.
• xds/rbac: Fix panic when parsing unsupported fields in NotRule/NotId permissions.
• xds/rbac: Support the deprecated source_ip principal identifier by treating it as equivalent to direct_remote_ip.

v1.82.0: Release 1.82.0

Compare Source

Behavior Changes

• server: Remove support for GRPC_GO_EXPERIMENTAL_DISABLE_STRICT_PATH_CHECKING environment varibale. Strict incoming RPC path validation (which has been the default since v1.79.3) can no longer be disabled. (#​9112)
• transport: Add environment variable to change the default max header list size from 16MB to 8KB. This may be enabled by setting GRPC_GO_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_8KB_DEFAULT_HEADER_LIST_SIZE=true. This will be enabled by default in a subsequent release. (#​9019)
• balancer: Load Balancing policy registry is now case-sensitive. Set GRPC_GO_EXPERIMENTAL_CASE_SENSITIVE_BALANCER_REGISTRIES=false (and file an issue) to revert to case-insensitive behavior. (#​9017)

New Features

• experimental/stats: Expose a new API, NewContextWithLabelCallback, to register a callback that is invoked when telemetry labels are added. (#​8877)
  • Special Thanks: @​seth-epps
• client: Return a portion of the response body in the error message, when the client receives an unexpected non-gRPC HTTP response, to make debugging easier. (#​8929)
  • Special Thanks: @​chengxilo
• server: Add environment variable GRPC_GO_SERVER_GOROUTINE_LABELS that controls setting runtime/pprof.Labels on goroutines spawned by the server. Set GRPC_GO_SERVER_GOROUTINE_LABELS=grpc.method=true to add the grpc.method label on goroutines spawned to handle incoming requests. (#​9082)
  • Special Thanks: @​dfinkel

Bug Fixes

• xds/server: Fix a memory leak of HTTP filter instances occurring when route configurations are updated in-place during a Route Discovery Service (RDS) update. (#​9138)
• grpc: In the deprecated gzip Compressor (used via the deprecated WithCompressor dial option), enforce the MaxRecvMsgSize limit on the decompressed message buffer, preventing excessive memory allocation from highly compressed payloads. (#​9114)
  • Special Thanks: @​evilgensec
• stats/opentelemetry: Record retry attempts, grpc.previous-rpc-attempts, at the call level and not the attempt level. (#​8923)
• encoding: Ensure Close() is always called on readers returned from Compressor.Decompress if possible. (#​9135)
• channelz: Fix the LastMessageSentTimestamp and LastMessageReceivedTimestamp fields in SocketMetrics to ensure they contain correct timestamp values. (#​9109)

v1.81.1: Release 1.81.1

Compare Source

Security

• xds/rbac: Fix a potential authorization bypass caused by incorrectly falling through URI/DNS SANs to Subject Distinguished Name (DN) when matching the authenticated principal name. With this fix, only the first non-empty identity source will be used, as per gRFC A41. (#​9111)
  • Special Thanks: @​al4an444

v1.81.0: Release 1.81.0

Compare Source

Behavior Changes

New Features

• grpc/stats: Add support for custom labels in per-call metrics (gRFC A108). (#​9008)
• xds: Add support for Server Name Indication (SNI) and SAN validation (gRFC A101). Disabled by default. To enable, set GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_XDS_SNI=true environment variable. (#​9016)
• xds: Add support to control which fields get propagated from ORCA backend metric reports to LRS load reports (gRFC A85). Disabled by default. To enable, set GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_XDS_ORCA_LRS_PROPAGATION=true. (#​9005)
• xds: Add metrics to track xDS client connectivity and cached resource state (gRFC A78). (#​8807)
• stats/otel: Enhance grpc.subchannel.disconnections metric by adding disconnection reason to the grpc.disconnect_error label (gRFC A94). This provides granular insights into why subchannels are closing. (#​8973)
• mem: Add mem.Buffer.Slice() API to slice the buffer like a slice. (#​8977)
  • Special Thanks: @​ash2k

Performance Improvements

• alts: Pool read buffers to lower memory utilization when sockets are unreadable. (#​8964)
• transport: Pool HTTP/2 framer read buffers to reduce idle memory consumption. Currently limited to Linux for ALTS and non-encrypted transports (TCP, Unix). To disable, set GRPC_GO_EXPERIMENTAL_HTTP_FRAMER_READ_BUFFER_POOLING=false and report any issues. (#​9032)

v1.80.0

v1.79.3: Release 1.79.3

Compare Source

Security

  • 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

• 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)

v1.75.1: Release 1.75.1

Compare Source

Bug Fixes

  • 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)

• 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)

v1.74.2: 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)

v1.71.0: Release 1.71.0

Compare Source

API Changes

• balancer: Custom LB policies that record metrics must use the new MetricsRecorder method on Balancer.ClientConn instead of the removed Balancer.BuildOptions.MetricsRecorder field to obtain a metrics recorder. (#​8027)
• balancer: balancer.ClientConn implementations must now embed a delegate implementation. This allows grpc-go to add new methods to the interface and remain backward compatible. (#​8026)
• balancer/endpointsharding: The constructor accepts the child balancer's builder and a struct with optional configuration. (#​8052)

New Features

• xds: Add support for dualstack via the additional_addresses field in the Endpoint resource. To disable this feature, set the environment variable GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_XDS_DUALSTACK_ENDPOINTS=false. (#​8134)

• examples/features/dualstack: New example demonstrating usage of endpoints and dualstack functionality. (#​8098)

v1.70.0: Release 1.70.0

Compare Source

Behavior Changes

• client: reject service configs containing an invalid retryPolicy in accordance with gRFCs A21 and A6. (#​7905)
  • Note that this is a potential breaking change for some users using an invalid configuration, but continuing to allow this behavior would violate our cross-language compatibility requirements.

New Features

• xdsclient: fallback to a secondary management server (if specified in the bootstrap configuration) when the primary is down is enabled by default. Can be disabled by setting the environment variable GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_XDS_FALLBACK to false. (#​7949)
• experimental/credentials: experimental transport credentials are added which don't enforce ALPN. (#​7980)
  • These credentials will be removed in an upcoming grpc-go release. Users must not rely on these credentials directly. Instead, they should either vendor a specific version of gRPC or copy the relevant credentials into their own codebase if absolutely necessary.

Bug Fixes

• xds: fix a possible deadlock that happens when both the client application and the xDS management server (responsible for configuring the client) are using the xds:/// scheme in their target URIs. (#​8011)

Performance

• server: for unary requests, free raw request message data as soon as parsing is finished instead of waiting until the method handler returns. (#​7998)

• rbac: fix support for :path header matchers, which would previously never successfully match (#​7965).

Documentation

• examples/features/csm_observability: update example client and server to use the helloworld service instead of echo service (#​7945).

v1.69.2: Release 1.69.2

Compare Source

Bug Fixes

• stats/experimental: add type aliases for symbols (Metrics/etc) that were moved to the stats package (#​7929).
• client: set user-agent string to the correct version.

v1.69.0: Release 1.69.0

Compare Source

Known Issues

• The recently added grpc.NewClient function is incompatible with forward proxies, because it resolves the target hostname on the client instead of passing the hostname to the proxy. A fix is expected to be a part of grpc-go v1.70. (#​7556)

New Features

• stats/opentelemetry: Introduce new APIs to enable OpenTelemetry instrumentation for metrics on servers and clients (#​7874)
• xdsclient: add support to fallback to lower priority servers when higher priority ones are down (#​7701)
• dns: Add support for link local IPv6 addresses (#​7889)
• The new experimental pickfirst LB policy (disabled by default) supports Happy Eyeballs, interleaving IPv4 and IPv6 address as described in RFC-8305 section 4, to attempt connections to multiple backends concurrently. The experimental pickfirst policy can be enabled by setting the environment variable GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_NEW_PICK_FIRST to true. (#​7725, #​7742)
• balancer/pickfirst: Emit metrics from the pick_first load balancing policy (#​7839)
• grpc: export MethodHandler, which is the type of an already-exported field in MethodDesc (#​7796)
  • Special Thanks: @​mohdjishin

Bug Fixes

• credentials/google: set scope for application default credentials (#​7887)
  • Special Thanks: @​halvards
• xds: fix edge-case issues where some clients or servers would not initialize correctly or would not receive errors when resources are invalid or unavailable if another channel or server with the same target was already in use . (#​7851, #​7853)
• examples: fix the debugging example, which was broken by a recent change (#​7833)

Behavior Changes

• client: update retry attempt backoff to apply jitter per updates to gRFC A6. (#​7869)
  • Special Thanks: @​isgj
• balancer/weightedroundrobin: use the pick_first LB policy to manage connections (#​7826)

API Changes

• balancer: An internal method is added to the balancer.SubConn interface to force implementors to embed a delegate implementation. This requirement is present in the interface documentation, but wasn't enforced earlier. (#​7840)

Performance Improvements

• mem: implement a ReadAll() method for more efficient io.Reader consumption (#​7653)
  • Special Thanks: @​ash2k
• mem: use slice capacity instead of length to determine whether to pool buffers or directly allocate them (#​7702)
  • Special Thanks: @​PapaCharlie

Documentation

• examples/csm_observability: Add xDS Credentials and switch server to be xDS enabled (#​7875)

v1.68.2: Release 1.68.2

Dependencies

• Remove the experimental stats/opentelemetry module and instead add the experimental packages it contains directly into the main google.golang.org/grpc module (#​7936)

v1.68.1: Release 1.68.1

Compare Source

Bug Fixes

• credentials/alts: avoid SRV and TXT lookups for handshaker service to work around hangs caused by buggy versions of systemd-resolved. (#​7861)

Dependencies

• Relax minimum Go version requirement from go1.22.7 to go1.22. (#​7831)

v1.68.0: Release 1.68.0

Compare Source

Known Issues

• The recently added grpc.NewClient function is incompatible with forward proxies, because it resolves the target hostname on the client instead of passing the hostname to the proxy. This bug has been present since the introduction of NewClient. A fix is expected to be a part of grpc-go v1.70. (#​7556)

Behavior Changes

• stats/opentelemetry/csm: Get mesh_id local label from "CSM_MESH_ID" environment variable, rather than parsing from bootstrap file (#​7740)
• orca (experimental): if using an ORCA listener, it must now be registered only on a READY SubConn, and the listener will automatically be stopped when the connection is lost. (#​7663)
• client: ClientConn.Close() now closes transports simultaneously and waits for transports to be closed before returning. (#​7666)
• credentials: TLS credentials created via NewTLS that use tls.Config.GetConfigForClient will now have CipherSuites, supported TLS versions and ALPN configured automatically. These were previously only set for configs not using the GetConfigForClient option. (#​7709)

Bug Fixes

• transport: prevent deadlock in client transport shutdown when writing the GOAWAY frame hangs. (#​7662)
• mem: reuse buffers more accurately by using slice capacity instead of length (#​7702)
  • Special Thanks: @​PapaCharlie
• status: Fix regression caused by #​6919 in status.Details() causing it to return a wrapped type when getting proto messages generated with protoc-gen-go < v1. (#​7724)

Dependencies

• Bump minimum supported Go version to go1.22.7. (#​7624)
