ar hakkers,
We’re happy to announce version 1.1.0 of Akka gRPC!
gRPC is a transport mechanism for request/response and
(non-persistent) streaming use cases. See
Why gRPC? for more
information about when to use gRPC as your transport.
Highlights
Changes since 1.0.x
Akka gRPC 1.1.0 requires Akka 2.6.x and Akka HTTP 10.2.x.
This release introduces a new, experimental client backend powered by Akka-HTTP. The default backend is still the classic client implemented using grpc-java which is based on Netty. You can enable the new backend using akka.grpc.client."*".backend="akka-http". The Akka-HTTP backend for gRPC is built using the Akka HTTP client support for HTTP/2 introduced in Akka HTTP 10.2.3. The Akka-HTTP backend for Akka gRPC client is released as a preview and the recommendation for general purpose usage is still the existing, netty-based backend.
