In this release, some languages start to support + preserving unknown fields in proto3, controlled by flags/options. Some + languages also introduce explicit APIs to drop unknown fields for + migration. Please read the change log sections by languages for details. + For general timeline and plan: + + https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KMRX-G91Aa-Y2FkEaHeeviLRRNblgIahbsk4wA14gRk/view + + For issues and discussions: + + https://github.com/google/protobuf/issues/272 + + - Make C++ implementation C++11 only: we plan to require C++11 to build + protobuf code starting from 3.5.0 or 3.6.0 release, after unknown fields + semantic changes are finished. Please join this + github issue: + + https://github.com/google/protobuf/issues/2780 + + to provide your feedback. + + General + * Extension ranges now accept options and are customizable. + * "reserve" keyword now supports “max” in field number ranges, + e.g. reserve 1000 to max; + + C++ + * Proto3 messages are now able to preserve unknown fields. The default + behavior is still to drop unknowns, which will be flipped in a future + release. If you rely on unknowns fields being dropped. Please use + Message::DiscardUnknownFields() explicitly. + * Packable proto3 fields are now packed by default in serialization. + * Following C++11 features are introduced when C++11 is available: + - move-constructor and move-assignment are introduced to messages + - Repeated fields constructor now takes std::initializer_list + - rvalue setters are introduced for string fields + * Experimental Table-Driven parsing and serialization available to test. To + enable it, pass in table_driven_parsing table_driven_serialization protoc + generator flags for C++ + + $ protoc --cpp_out=table_driven_parsing,table_driven_serialization:./ \ + test.proto + + * lite generator parameter supported by the generator.

Type checking is + done on the array elements. + * encode/decode are renamed to serializeToString/mergeFromString. + * Added mergeFrom, clear method on Message. + * Fixed a bug that oneof accessor didn’t return the field name that is + actually set. + * C extension now works with php7. + * This is the first GA release of PHP. We guarantee that old generated code + can always work with new runtime and new generated code. + + Objective-C + * Fixed help for GPBTimestamp for dates before the epoch that contain + fractional seconds. + * Added GPBMessageDropUnknownFieldsRecursively() to remove unknowns from a + message and any sub messages. + * Addressed a threading race in extension registration/lookup. + * Increased the max message parsing depth to 100 to match the other languages. + * Removed some use of dispatch_once in favor of atomic compare/set since it + needs to be heap based. + * Fixes for new Xcode 8.3 warnings. + + C# + * Fixed MapField.Values.CopyTo, which would throw an exception unnecessarily + if provided exactly the right size of array to copy to. + * Fixed enum JSON formatting when multiple names mapped to the same numeric + value. + * Added JSON formatting option to format enums as integers. + * Modified RepeatedField<T> to implement IReadOnlyList<T>. + * Introduced the start of custom option handling; it's not as pleasant as it + might be, but the information is at least present. We expect to extend code + generation to improve this in the future. + * Introduced ByteString.FromStream and ByteString.FromStreamAsync to + efficiently create a ByteString from a stream. + * Added whole-message deprecation, which decorates the class with [Obsolete]. + + Ruby + * Fixed Message#to_h for messages with map fields. + * Fixed memcpy() in binary gems to work for old glibc, without breaking the + build for non-glibc libc’s like musl. + + Javascript + * Added compatibility tests for version 3.0.0. + * Added conformance tests. + * Fixed serialization of extensions: we need to emit a value even if it is + falsy (like the number 0). + * Use closurebuilder.py in favor of calcdeps.py for compiling JavaScript. + +2017-01-23 version 3.2.0 (C++/Java/Python/PHP/Ruby/Objective-C/C#/JavaScript/Lite) + General + * Added protoc version number to protoc plugin protocol. It can be used by + protoc plugin to detect which version of protoc is used with the plugin and + mitigate known problems in certain version of protoc. + + C++ + * The default parsing byte size limit has been raised from 64MB to 2GB. + * Added rvalue setters for non-arena string fields. + * Enabled debug logging for Android. + * Fixed a double-free problem when using Reflection::SetAllocatedMessage() + with extension fields. + * Fixed several deterministic serialization bugs: + * MessageLite::SerializeAsString() now respects the global deterministic + serialization flag. + * Extension fields are serialized deterministically as well. Fixed protocol + compiler to correctly report importing-self as an error. + * Fixed FileDescriptor::DebugString() to print custom options correctly. + * Various performance/codesize optimizations and cleanups. + + Java + * The default parsing byte size limit has been raised from 64MB to 2GB. + * Added recursion limit when parsing JSON. + * Fixed a bug that enumType.getDescriptor().getOptions() doesn't have custom + options. + * Fixed generated code to support field numbers up to 2^29-1. + + Python + * You can now assign NumPy scalars/arrays (np.int32, np.int64) to protobuf + fields, and assigning other numeric types has been optimized for + performance. + * Pure-Python: message types are now garbage-collectable. + * Python/C++: a lot of internal cleanup/refactoring. + + PHP (Alpha) + * For 64-bit integers type (int64/uint64/sfixed64/fixed64/sint64), use PHP + integer on 64-bit environment and PHP string on 32-bit environment. + * PHP generated code also conforms to PSR-4 now. + * Fixed ZTS build for c extension. + * Fixed c extension build on Mac. + * Fixed c extension build on 32-bit linux. + * Fixed the bug that message without namespace is not found in the descriptor + pool. (#2240) + * Fixed the bug that repeated field is not iterable in c extension. + * Message names Empty will be converted to GPBEmpty in generated code. + * Added phpdoc in generated files. + * The released API is almost stable. Unless there is large problem, we won't + change it. See + https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/reference/php-generated + for more details. + + Objective-C + * Added support for push/pop of the stream limit on CodedInputStream for + anyone doing manual parsing. + + C# + * No changes. + + Ruby + * Message objects now support #respond_to? for field getters/setters. + * You can now compare “message == non_message_object” and it will return false + instead of throwing an exception. + * JRuby: fixed #hashCode to properly reflect the values in the message. + + Javascript + * Deserialization of repeated fields no longer has quadratic performance + behavior. + * UTF-8 encoding/decoding now properly supports high codepoints. + * Added convenience methods for some well-known types: Any, Struct, and + Timestamp. These make it easier to convert data between native JavaScript + types and the well-known protobuf types. + +2016-09-23 version 3.1.0 (C++/Java/Python/PHP/Ruby/Objective-C/C#/JavaScript/Lite) + General + * Proto3 support in PHP (alpha). + * Various bug fixes. + + C++ + * Added MessageLite::ByteSizeLong() that’s equivalent to + MessageLite::ByteSize() but returns the value in size_t. Useful to check + whether a message is over the 2G size limit that protobuf can support. + * Moved default_instances to global variables. This allows default_instance + addresses to be known at compile time. + * Adding missing generic gcc 64-bit atomicops. + * Restore New*Callback into google::protobuf namespace since these are used + by the service stubs code + * JSON support. + * Fixed some conformance issues. + * Fixed a JSON serialization bug for bytes fields. + + Java + * Fixed a bug in TextFormat that doesn’t accept empty repeated fields (i.e., + “field: [ ]”). + * JSON support + * Fixed JsonFormat to do correct snake_case-to-camelCase conversion for + non-style-conforming field names. + * Fixed JsonFormat to parse empty Any message correctly. + * Added an option to JsonFormat.Parser to ignore unknown fields. + * Experimental API + * Added UnsafeByteOperations.unsafeWrap(byte[]) to wrap a byte array into + ByteString without copy. + + Python + * JSON support + * Fixed some conformance issues. + + PHP (Alpha) + * We have added the proto3 support for PHP via both a pure PHP package and a + native c extension. The pure PHP package is intended to provide usability + to wider range of PHP platforms, while the c extension is intended to + provide higher performance. Both implementations provide the same runtime + APIs and share the same generated code. Users don’t need to re-generate + code for the same proto definition when they want to switch the + implementation later. The pure PHP package is included in the php/src + directory, and the c extension is included in the php/ext directory. + + Both implementations provide idiomatic PHP APIs: + * All messages and enums are defined as PHP classes. + * All message fields can only be accessed via getter/setter. + * Both repeated field elements and map elements are stored in containers + that act like a normal PHP array. + + Unlike several existing third-party PHP implementations for protobuf, our + implementations are built on a "strongly-typed" philosophy: message fields + and array/map containers will throw exceptions eagerly when values of the + incorrect type (not including those that can be type converted, e.g., + double <-> integer <-> numeric string) are inserted. + + Currently, pure PHP runtime supports php5.5, 5.6 and 7 on linux. C + extension runtime supports php5.5 and 5.6 on linux. + + See php/README.md for more details about installment. See + https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/phptutorial for more + details about APIs. + + Objective-C + * Helpers are now provided for working the the Any well known type (see + GPBWellKnownTypes.h for the api additions). + * Some improvements in startup code (especially when extensions aren’t used). + + Javascript + * Fixed missing import of jspb.Map + * Fixed valueWriterFn variable name + + Ruby + * Fixed hash computation for JRuby's RubyMessage + * Make sure map parsing frames are GC-rooted. + * Added API support for well-known types. + + C# + * Removed check on dependency in the C# reflection API. + 2016-09-06 version 3.0.2 (C++/Java/Python/Ruby/Objective-C/C#/JavaScript/Lite) General * Various bug fixes. @@ -1229,7 +1728,7 @@ 2008-09-29 version 2.0.2: General - * License changed from Apache 2.0 to New BSD. + * License changed from Apache 2.0 to 3-Clause BSD. * It is now possible to define custom "options", which are basically annotations which may be placed on definitions in a .proto file.
