Common Libraries

BREAKING CHANGES

• We have changed the preference order for determining the service endpoint from
  (1) ${emulator_env}, (2) EndpointOption, (3) ${endpoint_env}, and (4)
  default value, to (1) ${emulator_env}, (2) ${endpoint_env}, (3)
  EndpointOption, and (4) default value. That is, the more dynamic
  ${endpoint_env} is now preferred over any EndpointOption set in the code.

New Libraries

We are introducing 2 new client libraries for GCP services. While we do not
anticipate any API changes to these libraries before declaring them GA, we are
releasing them early in case they elicit some feedback that requires changes.

• Bare Metal Solution
• Optimization AI

v1.40.2

What's Changed

• fix(GCS+gRPC): unused mutable Object fields by @coryan in #8998

Full Changelog: v1.40.1...v1.40.2

v1.39.2

What's Changed

• fix(GCS+gRPC): unused mutable Object fields by @coryan in #8997

Full Changelog: v1.39.1...v1.39.2

v1.40.1

What's Changed

• fix: correct check for storage vs. rest enabled (#8850)

Full Changelog: v1.40.0...v1.40.1

v1.40.0

We are happy to announce that the following GA libraries. Unless specifically
noted, the APIs in these libraries are stable, and are ready for production use.

Expand to see the full list of new GA libraries...

• Compute Engine OS Login
• Cloud Speech-to-Text
• Google Cloud Logging

Bigtable

• doc(bigtable): deprecate DataClient member fns (#8813)
• doc(bigtable): deprecate ClientOptions (#8824)

Pub/Sub

• doc(pubsub): document publish return value (#8703)

Spanner

• fix(spanner)!: FLOAT64 NaN values are considered equal (#8805)

Storage

BREAKING CHANGES

• While the interface and behavior for storage::Client::WriteObject() remains
  stable, its implementation has changed. Normally implementation details are
  not breaking changes, but any application mocking the storage library
  necessarily depends on these implementation details. We updated the
  mocking examples to guide you in changing any tests
  (#8806).

Other Changes:

• feat(storage): new option to disable decompressive transcoding (#8834)
• fix(storage): disable checksums for transcoded objects (#8830)
• doc: fix typo, change "optional" to "optimal" (#8825)

Storage Transfer Service

BREAKING CHANGES

The library has been disabled on macOS due to a protobuf naming clash. See
#8785 for details.

New Libraries

We are introducing 3 new client libraries for GCP services. While we do not
anticipate any API changes to these libraries before declaring them GA, we are
releasing them early in case they elicit some feedback that requires changes.

v1.39.1

What's Changed

• chore(deps): update to grpc-1.45.2 by @coryan in #8727

Full Changelog: v1.39.0...v1.39.1

v1.39.0

BREAKING CHANGES

• Starting with this release Linux and Windows builds based on CMake
  no longer set CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD to 11. We rely on the compiler's
  default C++ language standard. Note that all the compilers we support default
  to C++14.

  • On macOS the default is C++98, as google-cloud-cpp requires C++ >= 11, we continue
    to set CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD on that platform.
  • This only changes the default C++ version, we continue to test and support C++11.
  • For more details, see #6767.

• The following deprecated, legacy IAM classes have been removed:
  google::cloud::IamPolicy, google::cloud::IamBinding,
  google::cloud::IamBindings. They were designed before
  IAM conditions. They did not work with IAM policies
  that include IAM conditions. See #5929 for more details.

• cleanup!: restrict testing_util build visibility (#8584)
• cleanup!: change bazel visibility to private for {tests,quickstarts,examples,samples,benchmarks} (#8578)

Other Changes

• fix: treat kDeadlineExceeded as permanent error in all services (#8525)

Bigtable

BREAKING CHANGES

• InstanceAdmin::GetIamPolicy and InstanceAdmin::SetIamPolicy have been
  retired. If you are affected by this removal, please use
  InstanceAdmin::GetNativeIamPolicy and InstanceAdmin::SetNativeIamPolicy
  instead. See #5929 for more details.

KMS

The library has been expanded to include the following services (#8530):

• External Key Manager

Pub/Sub

• fix(pubsub): increase grpc.max_metadata_size limit (#8626)

Spanner

• feat(spanner): add remaining PostgreSQL samples (#8627)
• feat(spanner): add initial PostgreSQL samples (#8617)
• feat(spanner): integration tests for Database.database_dialect (#8589)
• feat(spanner): integration tests and sample for CopyBackup() (#8574)
• fix(spanner): correct handling of PartialResultSet.resume_token (#8521)
• fix(spanner): capture the ReadRequest by value in the reader factory (#8515)

Storage

BREAKING CHANGES

• Client::GetBucketIamPolicy and Client::SetBucketIamPolicy have been
  retired. If you are affected by this removal, please use
  Client::GetNativeBucketIamPolicy and Client::SetNativeBucketIamPolicy
  instead. See #5929 for more details.
• cleanup(common)!: remove legacy IAM classes (#8667)
• cleanup(storage)!: remove deprecated IAM functions (#8664)
• cleanup!: change storage bazel visibility to private by default (#8583)

Other Changes

• doc(storage): add custom-dual regions example (#8595)
• fix(storage): ParallelUploadFile() and WithObjectMetadata (#8629)
• fix(storage): return an error on short writes (#8562)
• fix(storage): use correct offset and size types (#8538)

Common Libraries

Other Changes

• feat(common): g::c::future support for coroutines (#8532)

v1.38.0

Service Management API

• The DisableService() and EnableService() RPCs are now retired. These RPCs
  were deprecated and non-functional at the time this client library was
  generated. We do not expect this will actually break any existing code.
  Nevertheless, we apologize for any confusion.

Pub/Sub Lite

BREAKING CHANGES

• We mistakenly declared GA for this library. Though the current public APIs are
  stable, the library is incomplete. We are still working on the APIs to publish
  and receive messages. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this
  caused.

Common Libraries

• fix(pubsublite)!: revert GA declaration (#8497)
• fix: no experimental- prefix for GA targets (#8496)
• fix(container): missing CMake dependency (#8492)

v1.37.0

New GA Libraries

We are happy to announce that the following GA libraries. We expect these
libraries to have a stable API, to offer the full functionality of the
GA version of service they wrap, and to be ready for production use.

BREAKING CHANGES

• As previously announced, we are removing certain legacy CMake targets and
  Bazel rules in this release.
  • Bazel Users: applications should use the targets at the top-level
    directory, e.g. //:bigtable, or //:pubsub. Targets in each directory
    (e.g. //google/cloud/bigtable:bigtable_client) are now retired or marked
    private.
  • CMake Users: applications should use the
    google-cloud-cpp::* targets (e.g. google-cloud-cpp::pubsub).
    • All exported targets without a google-cloud-cpp:: prefix are retired.
      These include, but are not limited to:
      • Any target starting with googleapis-c++::
      • Any exported targets without a prefix, including:
        google_cloud_cpp_common, google_cloud_cpp_grpc_utils,
        bigtable_client, bigtable_protos, firestore_client,
        pubsub_client, storage_client, spanner_client.
      • Some target aliases, including bigtable::client, bigtable::protos
  • pkg-config users: applications should use the modules starting with
    google_cloud_cpp. All other modules are now retired.
  • Direct users of -l${library} flags: we do not recommend that
    applications uses -l flags directly, please use pkg-config and/or
    the target names under CMake or Bazel. We make this recommendation because
    we do not know of any mechanism to provide backwards compatibility for such
    flags.
  • More details about the rationale for these changes in #5726.

BigQuery

The library has been expanded to include the following services:

• BigQuery ML
• BigQuery Connection API
• BigQuery Data Transfer Service
• BigQuery Reservations
• BigQuery Storage Write API

Bigtable

BREAKING CHANGE: The bigtable::AdminClient interface has changed
significantly. Any code that extends this class or calls its experimental public
APIs (reset(), Channel()) will be broken. For the most part, this should
only affect customers who mock this class in their tests. Code that calls
bigtable::MakeAdminClient() or bigtable::CreateDefaultAdminClient() will
continue to work as before.

This change will allow us to deliver new features more quickly by reducing the
maintenance costs of ...
