  • Commit 8ef3983:

Note: changing a generic type parameter constraint in LabelProviderExtensions is notionally a breaking change, but due to how it will be used, we don't expect it to actually break any customers.

Version 4.0.0, released 2020-03-18

No API surface changes compared with 4.0.0-beta02, just dependency and implementation changes.

Version 4.0.0-beta02, released 2020-03-10

Version 4.0.0-beta01, released 2020-02-19

This is the first prerelease targeting GAX v3. Please see the breaking changes guide for details of changes to both GAX and code generation.

There are no direct API surface changes in this package, but the changes in dependencies can still cause breaking changes.

Version 3.0.0, released 2019-12-16

This is the last version of this package to depend on GAX 2.x and Grpc.Core 1.x. We expect to release a new version depending on GAX 3.x and Grpc.Core 2.x, but without other significant changes, early in 2020. Beyond that version, there are multiple directions this package could take based on customer feedback, demand for an ASP.NET package, and the progress of other diagnostic approaches.

  • Hook to allow for custom labels to be added to log entries.
