gRPC Java v1.0.3 released

[Eric Anderson]

The v1.0.3 release has a small bugfix and experimental support for forward proxies. Only users of InProcess transport in tests or users wanting to test the forward proxy support benefit from the update.

• Remove a usage of an executor which was just to avoid lock ordering issues. Now the work is done on the same thread, but after locks are released. This fixes non-determinism when "connecting" with the InProcess transport (#2444)

• Add experimental support for http forward proxies via CONNECT to both Netty and OkHttp transports. Proxy authentication is unsupported. To enable, use the GRPC_PROXY_EXP environment variable and set to a host:port-formatted string. Error handling is known to be weak when negotiating with the proxy; most proxy failures will result in a generic error. Errors after negotiation completes are unaffected.
  

Although the release does not yet show up in search.maven.org nor the index pages of the mirrors, it is already available on Maven Central for your use.
