Dear hakkers,
We’re happy to announce version 2.0.0 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
This version of Akka gRPC updates from ScalaPB 0.10.x to 0.11.x, which is a breaking change for Scala users: code generated with ScalaPB 0.10.x will not work with version 0.11.x of the runtime, meaning projects that use Akka gRPC directly need a clean recompile, and if you use libraries that use Akka gRPC you will need to make sure they are on the same major version.
