This directory used to contain the original C# implementation of gRPC based on the native gRPC Core library
(i.e. Grpc.Core nuget package). This implementation is currently in maintenance mode and its source code
has been moved (see below for details). Also, we plan to deprecate the implementation in the future
(see blogpost).
The source code that used to reside here has been moved as following:
-
The
Grpc,Grpc.Core,Grpc.Core.Testing,Grpc.Core.NativeDebugandGrpc.Core.Xamarinpackages will continue to live in maintenance mode on the v1.46.x branch, where they will get the necessary critical/security patches as needed and will be released from there (as usual for gRPC patch releases). All future releases of these packages will have their major/minor version fixed at2.46and only their patch version will be incremented (2.46.0,2.46.1, ...) -
The
Grpc.Core.Api,Grpc.Auth,Grpc.HealthCheckandGrpc.Reflectionpackages will be moved to the grpc-dotnet repository where their development will continue (note that all these packages are implementation-agnostic, and they are also used by grpc-dotnet, so it makes sense to move them there). Future releases of these packages (v2.47.x,v2.48.x, ...) will be released as part of the grpc-dotnet release. -
The package
Grpc.Tools(which provides the protobuf/grpc codegen build integration) will for now stay on the master branch of grpc/grpc (i.e. in this directory). From there it will continue to be released along with other gRPC languages that live in thegrpc/grpcrepository. The eventual goal is to also move Grpc.Tools to elsewhere (probably the grpc-dotnet repository), but more work is needed there (e.g. we need to figure out some technical and test-infrastructure related issues first).
It currently lives on the v1.46.x release branch here: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/v1.46.x/src/csharp (and is in maintenance mode).
