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

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

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
