2022-03-25 version 3.20.0 (C++/Java/Python/PHP/Objective-C/C#/Ruby/JavaScript)

Ruby

• Dropped Ruby 2.3 and 2.4 support for CI and releases. (#​9311)
• Added Ruby 3.1 support for CI and releases (#​9566).
• Message.decode/encode: Add recursion_limit option (#​9218/#​9486)
• Allocate with xrealloc()/xfree() so message allocation is visible to the
  Ruby GC. In certain tests this leads to much lower memory usage due to more
  frequent GC runs (#​9586).
• Fix conversion of singleton classes in Ruby (#​9342)
• Suppress warning for intentional circular require (#​9556)
• JSON will now output shorter strings for double and float fields when possible
  without losing precision.
• Encoding and decoding of binary format will now work properly on big-endian
  systems.
• UTF-8 verification was fixed to properly reject surrogate code points.
• Unknown enums for proto2 protos now properly implement proto2's behavior of
  putting such values in unknown fields.

Java

• Revert "Standardize on Array copyOf" (#​9400)
• Resolve more java field accessor name conflicts (#​8198)
• Don't support map fields in DynamicMessage.Builder.{getFieldBuilder,getRepeatedFieldBuilder}

• InvalidProtocolBufferException now allows arbitrary wrapped Exception types.
• Fix bug in FieldSet.Builder.mergeFrom
• Flush CodedOutputStream also flushes underlying OutputStream
• When oneof case is the same and the field type is Message, merge the
  subfield. (previously it was replaced.)’
• Add @​CheckReturnValue to some protobuf types
• Report original exceptions when parsing JSON
• Add more info to @​deprecated javadoc for set/get/has methods

• Fix type annotations of some Duration and Timestamp methods.
• Repeated field containers are now generic in field types and could be used
  in type annotations.
• Protobuf python generated codes are simplified. Descriptors and message
  classes' definitions are now dynamic created in internal/builder.py.
  Insertion Points for messages classes are discarded.
• has_presence is added for FieldDescriptor in python
• Loosen indexing type requirements to allow valid index() implementations
  rather than only PyLongObjects.
• Fix the deepcopy bug caused by not copying message_listener.
• Added python JSON parse recursion limit (default 100)
• Path info is added for python JSON parse errors
• Pure python repeated scalar fields will not able to pickle. Convert to list
  first.
• Timestamp.ToDatetime() now accepts an optional tzinfo parameter. If
  specified, the function returns a timezone-aware datetime in the given time
  zone. If omitted or None, the function returns a timezone-naive UTC datetime
  (as previously).
• Adds client_streaming and server_streaming fields to MethodDescriptor.
• Add "ensure_ascii" parameter to json_format.MessageToJson. This allows smaller
  JSON serializations with UTF-8 or other non-ASCII encodings.
• Added experimental support for directly assigning numpy scalars and array.
• Improve the calculation of public_dependencies in DescriptorPool.
• [Breaking Change] Disallow setting fields to numpy singleton arrays or repeated fields to numpy
  multi-dimensional arrays. Numpy arrays should be indexed or flattened explicitly before assignment.

v3.13.0

Compare Source

PHP

• The C extension is completely rewritten. The new C extension has significantly
  better parsing performance and fixes a handful of conformance issues. It will
  also make it easier to add support for more features like proto2 and proto3 presence.
• The new C extension does not support PHP 5.x, which is the reason for the major
  version bump. PHP 5.x users can still use pure-PHP.

C++

• Removed deprecated unsafe arena string accessors
• Enabled heterogeneous lookup for std::string keys in maps.
• Removed implicit conversion from StringPiece to std::string
• Fix use-after-destroy bug when the Map is allocated in the arena.
• Improved the randomness of map ordering
• Added stack overflow protection for text format with unknown fields
• Use std::hash for proto maps to help with portability.
• Added more Windows macros to proto whitelist.
• Arena constructors for map entry messages are now marked "explicit"
  (for regular messages they were already explicit).
• Fix subtle aliasing bug in RepeatedField::Add
• Fix mismatch between MapEntry ByteSize and Serialize with respect to unset
  fields.

Python

• JSON format conformance fixes:
  • Reject lowercase t for Timestamp json format.
  • Print full_name directly for extensions (no camelCase).
  • Reject boolean values for integer fields.
  • Reject NaN, Infinity, -Infinity that is not quoted.
  • Base64 fixes for bytes fields: accept URL-safe base64 and missing padding.
• Bugfix for fields/files named "async" or "await".
• Improved the error message when AttributeError is returned from getattr
  in EnumTypeWrapper.

Java

• Fixed a bug where setting optional proto3 enums with setFooValue() would
  not mark the value as present.
• Add Subtract function to FieldMaskUtil.

C#

• Dropped support for netstandard1.0 (replaced by support for netstandard1.1).
  This was required to modernize the parsing stack to use the Span<byte>
  type internally. (#​7351)
• Add ParseFrom(ReadOnlySequence<byte>) method to enable GC friendly
  parsing with reduced allocations and buffer copies. (#​7351)
• Add support for serialization directly to a IBufferWriter<byte> or
  to a Span<byte> to enable GC friendly serialization.
  The new API is available as extension methods on the IMessage type. (#​7576)
• Add GOOGLE_PROTOBUF_REFSTRUCT_COMPATIBILITY_MODE define to make
  generated code compatible with old C# compilers (pre-roslyn compilers
  from .NET framework and old versions of mono) that do not support
  ref structs. Users that are still on a legacy stack that does
  not support C# 7.2 compiler might need to use the new define
  in their projects to be able to build the newly generated code. (#​7490)
• Due to the major overhaul of parsing and serialization internals (#​7351 and #​7576),
  it is recommended to regenerate your generated code to achieve the best
  performance (the legacy generated code will still work, but might incur
  a slight performance penalty).

C++

• Simplified the template export macros to fix the build for mingw32. (#​7539)

Objective-C

• Fix for the :protobuf_objc target in the Bazel BUILD file. (#​7538)

v3.12.1

Compare Source

Ruby

• Re-add binary gems for Ruby 2.3 and 2.4. These are EOL upstream, however
  many people still use them and dropping support will require more
  coordination. (#​7529, #​7531).

v3.12.0

Protocol Compiler

• [experimental] Singular, non-message typed fields in proto3 now support
  presence tracking. This is enabled by adding the "optional" field label and
  passing the --experimental_allow_proto3_optional flag to protoc.
  • For usage info, see docs/field_presence.md.
  • During this experimental phase, code generators should update to support
    proto3 presence, see docs/implementing_proto3_presence.md for instructions.
• Allow duplicate symbol names when multiple descriptor sets are passed on
  the command-line, to match the behavior when multiple .proto files are passed.
• Deterministic protoc --descriptor_set_out (#​7175)

C++

• [experimental] Added proto3 presence support.
• New descriptor APIs to support proto3 presence.
• Fix for #​7463 in -rc1 (core dump mixing optional and singular fields in proto3)
• Enable Arenas by default on all .proto files.
• Documented that users are not allowed to subclass Message or MessageLite.
• Mark generated classes as final; inheriting from protos is strongly discouraged.
• Add stack overflow protection for text format with unknown fields.
• Add accessors for map key and value FieldDescriptors.
• Add FieldMaskUtil::FromFieldNumbers().
• MessageDifferencer: use ParsePartial() on Any fields so the diff does not
  fail when there are missing required fields.
• ReflectionOps::Merge(): lookup messages in the right factory, if it can.
• Added Descriptor::WellKnownTypes enum and Descriptor::well_known_type()
  accessor as an easier way of determining if a message is a Well-Known Type.
• Optimized RepeatedField::Add() when it is used in a loop.
• Made proto move/swap more efficient.
• De-virtualize the GetArena() method in MessageLite.
• Improves performance of json_stream_parser.cc by factor 1000 (#​7230)
• bug: #​7076 undefine Windows OUT and OPTIONAL macros (#​7087)
• Fixed a bug in FieldDescriptor::DebugString() that would erroneously print
  an "optional" label for a field in a oneof.
• Fix bug in parsing bool extensions that assumed they are always 1 byte.
• Fix off-by-one error in FieldOptions::ByteSize() when extensions are present.
• Clarified the comments to show an example of the difference between
  Descriptor::extension and DescriptorPool::FindAllExtensions.
• Add a compiler option 'code_size' to force optimize_for=code_size on all
  protos where this is possible.

Java

• [experimental] Added proto3 presence support.
• Fix for #​7480 in -rc1 ("TextFormat and JsonFormat ignore experimental proto3 optional enums")
• Fix for #​7505 in -rc1 (" toString() returns incorrect ascii when there are duplicate keys in a map")
• Mark java enum _VALUE constants as @​Deprecated if the enum field is deprecated
• reduce size for enums with allow_alias set to true.
• Sort map fields alphabetically by the field's key when printing textproto.
• TextFormat.merge() handles Any as top level type.
• Throw a descriptive IllegalArgumentException when calling
  getValueDescriptor() on enum special value UNRECOGNIZED instead of
  ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
• Fixed an issue with JsonFormat.printer() where setting printingEnumsAsInts()
  would override the configuration passed into includingDefaultValueFields().
• Implement overrides of indexOf() and contains() on primitive lists returned
  for repeated fields to avoid autoboxing the list contents.
• Add overload to FieldMaskUtil.fromStringList that accepts a descriptor.
• [bazel] Move Java runtime/toolchains into //java (#​7190)

Python

• [experimental] Added proto3 presence support.
• [experimental] fast import protobuf module, only works with cpp generated code linked in.
• Truncate 'float' fields to 4 bytes of precision in setters for pure-Python
  implementation (C++ extension was already doing this).
• Fixed a memory leak in C++ bindings.
• Added a deprecation warning when code tries to create Descriptor objects
  directly.
• Fix unintended comparison between bytes and string in descriptor.py.
• Avoid printing excess digits for float fields in TextFormat.
• Remove Python 2.5 syntax compatibility from the proto compiler generated _pb2.py module code.
• Drop 3.3, 3.4 and use single version docker images for all python tests (#​7396)

JavaScript

• Fix js message pivot selection ([#​6813](https://togithub.com/protocolbuf
