Release 1.72.1

Bug Fixes

• client: HTTP Proxy connections are no longer attempted for addresses with non-TCP network types. (#8215)
• client: Fix bug that causes RPCs to fail with status INTERNAL instead of CANCELLED or DEADLINE_EXCEEDED when receiving a RST_STREAM frame in the middle of the gRPC message. (#8289)

Release 1.72.0

Dependencies

• Minimum supported Go version is now 1.23 (#8108)

API Changes

• resolver: add experimental AddressMapV2 with generics to ultimately replace AddressMap. Deprecate AddressMap for deletion (#8187)
• resolver: convert EndpointMap in place to use generics (#8189)

New Features

• xds: add grpc.xds_client.server_failure counter metric on xDS client to record connectivity errors (#8203)
• balancer/rls: allow maxAge to exceed 5 minutes if staleAge is set in the LB policy configuration (#8137)
• ringhash: implement gRFC A76 improvements. (#8159)
• pickfirst: The new pick first LB policy is made the default. The new LB policy implements the Happy Eyeballs algorithm. To disable the new policy set the environment variable GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_NEW_PICK_FIRST to false (case insensitive).

Bug Fixes

• xds: fix support for circuit breakers and load reporting in LOGICAL_DNS clusters (#8169, #8170)
• xds/cds: improve RPC error messages when resources are not found (#8122)

• stats/opentelemetry: fix trace attributes message sequence numbers to start from 0 (#8237)
• balancer/pickfirstleaf: fix panic if deprecated Address.Metadata field is set to a non-comparable value by ignoring the field (#8227)

Behavior Changes

• transport: make servers send an HTTP/2 RST_STREAM frame to cancel a stream when the deadline expires (#8071)

Documentation

  • Special Thanks: @​RyanBlaney

Release 1.71.2

Bug Fixes

• client: HTTP Proxy connections are no longer attempted for addresses with non-TCP network types. (#8215)

Release 1.71.1

Bug Fixes

• grpc: fix a bug causing an extra Read from the compressor if a compressed message is the same size as the limit. This could result in a panic with the built-in gzip compressor (#8178)
• xds: restore the behavior of reading the bootstrap config before creating the first xDS client instead of at package init time (#8164)
• stats/opentelemetry: use TextMapPropagator and TracerProvider from TraceOptions instead of OpenTelemetry globals (#8166)
• client: fix races when an http proxy is configured that could lead to deadlocks or panics (#8195)
