This is a maintenance release coming with bug fixes and performance improvements.

The most notable change is performance improvements for record serialization (#927) by caching access to components, getters and constructors. The new implementation is roughly 20x faster.

Several PRs improve Kryo's compatibility with JDK 17+ (#930, #932, #933).

#923 Add helper method to register serializers for java.util.ImmutableCollections (#933)
#885 Delay access to constructor and methods for DirectBuffers until first use (#932)
#885 Add additional safe serializers for commonly used JDK classes (#930)
#884 Cache components, getters and constructors in RecordSerializer (#927)
#922 Fall back to default class resolution if class cannot be loaded with provided class loader (#926)
#920 Align ByteBufferOutput.writeAscii with implementation in Output (#921)
#889 Serializer for java.sql.Timestamp which preserves nanoseconds (#890)
#884 Fix eclipse project setup: Add JUnit 5, ByteBuddy (#887)

Other Tasks:

  • Improve tests for JDK 17 (#886)
  • Upgrade GitHub actions (#925)
  • Upgrade Objenesis to 3.3

This is a maintenance release coming with bug fixes and performance improvements:

#872 Custom exception for buffer over/underflow (#874)
#873 Set record component getter accessible (#875)
#845 Performance improvements for maps (#876)
#845 Use IdentityMap instead of CuckooObjectMap in class resolver (#877)
#882 Catch LinkageError in addition to RTE when accessing fields via ASM (#883)

Other Tasks:

  • Enforce minimum maven version and update plugins and test dependencies

Many thanks to all contributors!

Upgrade Notes

This release brings performance improvements for Kryo's custom map implementations (#876). These improvements allowed us to change the map for resolving registrations in DefaultClassResolver from a CuckooObjectMap to an IdentityMap with 3-5% faster throughput (#877). CuckooObjectMap is now deprecated and will be removed in Kryo 6.

Kryo now throws dedicated exceptions in case of buffer under- or overflows (#872). If you currently parse the error message to check for these conditions, you can catch KryoBufferUnderflowException and KryoBufferOverflowException instead.

Important Upgrade Information

This release fixes two critical issues with the serializer for java.util.Record. One of the issues (#847) seriously limits the serializers practical usefulness, so we decided to make an exception and break serialization compatibility. If you have serialized records with non-final field types that you need to read with Kryo 5.2.0, you can enable backwards compatibility globally or for individual types (recommended):

  1. Register global default serializer:
    final RecordSerializer<?> rs = new RecordSerializer<>();
    rs.setFixedFieldTypes(true);
    kryo.addDefaultSerializer(Record.class, rs);
  1. Register serializer per type:
    final RecordSerializer<?> rs = new RecordSerializer<>();
    rs.setFixedFieldTypes(true);
    kryo.register(MyRecord.class, rs);

Compatibility

  • Serialization compatible
    • Standard IO: Yes (except for java.util.Record)
    • Unsafe-based IO: Yes (except for java.util.Record)
  • Binary compatible - Yes (Details)
  • Source compatible - Yes (Details)

kryo-5.1.1

02 May 09:37

Choose a tag to compare

This is a maintenance release coming with bug fixes for CompatibleFieldSerializer and the versioned artifact.

In Kryo 5.1.0, a direct dependency on the unversioned JAR accidentally made it into the POM for the versioned artifact (see #825). If you are using the versioned artifact, upgrading to 5.1.1 is recommended.

#822: Fix #821 Support closures when validating types in CompatibleFieldSerializer
#824: Fix #823 Fix ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in binary search logic
#825: Remove direct dependency from versioned artifact
