gRPC Java 1.24.1 Release Notes

This release resolves proxy hang issue during initial protocol negotiation, users using proxy should upgrade.

Dependencies

• Bump perfmark to 0.19.0

Bug Fixes

• netty: Users using proxy may experience hang is fixed (#6159).
• bom: specify pom type for protoc-gen-grpc-java (#6247).
• okhttp: fix header scheme does not match transport type (#6264). OkHttp users using plaintext may experienced error when communicate with dotnet gRPC server is fixed.

New Features

• grpclb: Add dns NameResolver to io.grpc.grpclb that has SRV record lookup enabled by default (#6298). This allows using grpclb without the -Dio.grpc.internal.DnsNameResolverProvider.enable_grpclb=true system property. Note that grpclb is still experimental and deprecated. In particular, we plan to change grpclb policy selection which together with this change provides a path forward for grpclb to function without custom support in grpc-core; see gRFC A26
