We have stopped testing with GCC 7.5.0 on openSUSE/Leap: this distro uses
GCC 7.5.0 by default. This specific version of GCC crashes when compiling some
of the files generated by Protobuf 24.x. In other distros we test with GCC 7.3,
without problems. And we also test with newer versions of GCC without problems.
The exact files that cause the compiler to crash seem to change with minor
changes in Protobuf or the input .proto files, making it difficult to maintain
some kind of exclusion list.
We have stopped testing with GCC 7.5.0 on openSUSE/Leap, and recommend you use
GCC >= 8 to compile google-cloud-cpp. If you must compile with GCC 7.5.0,
consider only enabling the libraries you will need.
We are happy to announce the following GA libraries. Unless specifically noted, the APIs in these libraries are stable, and are ready for production use.
New *Client for conversational search.
- feat(oauth2): add quickstart, README, etc. (#12754)
We instrumented the Google Cloud C++ libraries for distributed tracing using OpenTelemetry. All client libraries are instrumented in some capacity.
Features to enable the collection and export of these traces are now GA. See the quickstart within the library to learn more about these tools.
Remove PoliciesClient. This client was placed in the wrong library. The
correct location is google/cloud/iam/v2.
- fix(storage): trace auth when default credentials are assumed (#12672)
- docs(storage): more on InsertObject vs. WriteObject (#12577)
- feat(common): new
*Optionto configure HTTP proxy (#12766) - fix: export headers with top-level Bazel targets (#12762)
- fix: gRPC auth logging enabled by "auth" (#12702)
- fix: add implicit routing in GAPICs (#12544)
Compiling gRPC with Bazel and Clang >= 16 requires --features=-layering_check
in your Bazel command-line. For more details, see grpc#34482.
We are happy to announce the following GA libraries. Unless specifically noted, the APIs in these libraries are stable, and are ready for production use.
The Cloud IoT Core service has been shutdown. We removed the corresponding C++ client library as it is no longer usable.
Parts of the BeyondCorp API are restricted to only existing customers and will be decommissioned. No C++ customers are affected, so we are removing the unusable components from the C++ libraries. More information in the BeyondCorp announcement.
We expanded the library to include the v2 version of the API.
We expanded the library to include the v2 version of the API.

Bazel Testing: from v2.15.0 we will only test with Bazel >= 6.0.0. We do not consider this a breaking change, as Bazel 5.x has been in maintenance mode for more than 6 months.
CMake Proto Libraries: We only compile service-specific protos if the
corresponding client library is enabled, via -DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE=....
This change reduces build times for customers who use CMake but who are not using all of the client libraries listed below.
We considered it a bug that customers building with CMake were forced to compile large proto libraries that they did not need. It was certainly confusing.
Any change in behavior, including fixing bugs, can be considered "breaking". By policy we don't consider bug fixes to be breaking changes. We applied that policy in this case.
The impacted libraries are:
bigquerybigtabledialogflow_esiamloggingpubsubspeechstoragetexttospeechtrace
If you are dependent on any of these proto libraries and you are not compiling the corresponding client library, you will need to update your build scripts.
For example, if you depend on google_cloud_cpp_speech_protos (e.g., if you
have been using this library to make calls to Cloud Speech using raw gRPC), add
-DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE=...,speech,... to your CMake configure command. If
you build with vcpkg, include speech in your install command.
Note that google_cloud_cpp_storage_protos are associated with the
experimental-storage_grpc feature, not the storage feature.

We have stopped testing with MSVC 2017. Microsoft stopped mainstream support for
MSVC 2017 in
2022-04.
We continue to test with MSVC 2022 and MSVC 2019. We recommend that you update
to one of these versions to use more recent versions of the google-cloud-cpp
libraries. Note that, in accordance with Google's
Foundational C++ support policy, the other Google libraries
have stopped (or shortly will stop) testing with MSVC 2017.

the GCP service. While this naming convention is more verbose, it allows us to
support clients for multiple versions of a GCP service from within the same

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

- We have a new implementation for HTTP requests. This new implementation
provides comparable download performance, and improves some uploads. See
#9659 for details. We have rigorously tested this new implementation. In the
unlikely event that this new implementation breaks your application, we have
included an environment variable to revert to the legacy implementation. Set
GOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_STORAGE_USE_LEGACY_HTTPto any value to use the legacy implementation. We are planning to remove the legacy code and theGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_STORAGE_USE_LEGACY_HTTPenvironment variable by 2022-12. - feat(storage): improve error messages on stalled uploads (#9744)

BREAKING CHANGES
As previously announced, google-cloud-cpp now requires C++ >= 14. This is
motivated by similar changes in our dependencies, and because C++ 14 has been
the default C++ version in all the compilers we support for several years.
We think this change is large enough that deserves a major version bump to signal the new requirements.
If you are already using C++ >= 14 you need to make no changes. If you are using C++11: please consider updating as soon as possible. To ease your transition to C++ >= 14 we will, if requested, backport critical fixes to v1.42.0 until 2023-07-01. After 2023-07-01 we will drop all support to v1.42.0 and earlier versions.
Debian 9 (Stretch) is EOL
Debian 9 (Stretch) reached EOL on 2022-06-30. Therefore, we have stopped testing or supporting this distribution. This was the last distribution we supported that required GCC < 7.3, and/or CMake < 3.10. Starting with this release we require CMake >= 3.10, and only test with GCC >= 7.3.
OTHER CHANGES
We introduced a new constructor for Table which accepts a
DataConnection instead of a DataClient. The DataConnection is a new
interface that more closely matches the client surface of Table. Read more
about *Connection classes in our
Architecture Design document.
The new API greatly simplifies mocking. Every Table::Foo(..) call has an
associated DataConnection::Foo(...) call. This allows you to set expectations
on the exact values returned by the client call. See
Mocking the Cloud Bigtable C++ Client for a complete
example on how to mock the behavior of Table with
bigtable_mocks::MockDataConnection.
The new DataConnection API offers more consistency across our libraries. It
also enables the use of some common library features, such as our
UnifiedCredentialsOption. Also, any new features will be added to
the DataConnection API first.
No. If the benefits are not appealing enough, you do not need to update your
code. All code that currently uses DataClient will continue to function as
before. This includes uses of testing::MockDataClient.
However, if you are using testing::MockDataClient to mock the behavior of
Table in your tests:
- Be aware that we have announced our intention to remove classes derived from
DataClienton or around 2023-05. Your tests will break then. - Please consider using
bigtable_mocks::MockDataConnection. It will greatly simplify your tests.
See Migrating from DataClient to DataConnection.
