Microsoft Orleans Changelog

All notable end-user facing changes are documented in this file.

[vNext]

Here are all the changes in master branch, and will be moved to the appropriate release once they are included in a published nuget package. The idea is to track end-user facing changes as they occur.

[2.3.1] (changes since 2.3.0)

Non-breaking improvements
- Improve serializer performance hygiene (#5409)
- Add UseLinuxEnvironmentStatistics method for ISiloBuilder (#5498)
- Improve activation & directory convergence (#5424)
- Updated stream subscription handle extension functions to handle batch consumption, comparable to what is supported for subscribe. (#5502)
- Add square bracket guards (#5521)
- Added batch stream production back in. (#5503)
Non-breaking bug fixes
- Use local silo as default primary silo (#5522)

[2.3.0] (changes since 2.2.0)

Breaking changes
- No changes breaking the wire protocol or persisted state that would break a rolling upgrade
- Migration to Microsoft.Extensions.Options 2.1.1 (#5385) requires a namespace change in the code
- Refactored stream batch behaviors to support batch consumption. (#5425) technically a breaking change due to the changes to the batch streaming API. However, it shouldn't break any working application code because the batching functionality wasn't fully wired previously. This release is backward-compatible with 2.x releases.
Non-breaking improvements
- Added 'First' and 'Last' to grain lifecycle stages. (#5248)

- Add CollectionAge validation to GrainCollectionOptions (#5290)
- Optimize memory allocation with custom EqualityComparer (#5210)
- Always Interleave modified to also be interleavable. (#5344)
- Batching batch containers pulling agent retrieves from cache (#5336)
- Invalidate activation cache entries from old epochs (#5352)
- Change usages of TypeInfo back to Type (#5338)
- Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting support (#5261, #5355)
- Persistent state facet (#5373)

[2.0.0-beta2]

Known issues

Breaking changes
- Remove IGrainInvokeInterceptor that got replaced with IGrainCallFilter (#3647)
- Migrate more configuration settings to typed options (#3492, #3736)
- Replace DeploymentId with ClusterId and collapse them where both are defined (#3728)

[1.5.3] (changes since 1.5.2)

Non-breaking improvements
- CodeGen: support builds which use reference assemblies (#3753)

[2.0.0-beta1]

Breaking changes
- Most packages are now targetting .NET Standard 2.0 (which mean they can be used from either .NET Framework or .NET Core 2.0).
  - These packages still target .NET Framework 4.6.1: Microsoft.Orleans.TestingSiloHost, Microsoft.Orleans.ServiceFabric, Microsoft.Orleans.OrleansTelemetryConsumers.Counters, Microsoft.Orleans.OrleansTelemetryConsumers.NewRelic and the PowerShell module.
- Deprecated the Orleans Logging infrastructure.
  - Orleans now uses the Microsoft.Extensions.Logging abstractions package (MEL for short from now on).
  - The legacy Orleans' Logger abstraction is preserved as obsolete for backwards compatibility in a new Microsoft.Orleans.Logging.Legacy package, but it's just a wrapper that forwards to ILogger from MEL. It is recommended that you migrate to it directly.
  - This package also contains a provider for the new MEL abstraction that allows forwarding to ILogConsumer, in case the end-user has a custom implementation of that legacy interface. Similarly, it is recommended to rewrite the custom log consumer or telemetry consumer and implement ILoggerProvider from MEL instead.
  - The APM methods (TrackXXX) from Logger were separated into a new ITelemetryProducer interface, and it's currently only being used by Orleans to publish metrics. #3390
  - Logging configuration is no longer parsed from the XML configuration, as the user would have to configure MEL instead.
- Created a Microsoft.Orleans.Core.Abstractions nuget package and moved/refactored several types into it. We plan to rev and do breaking changes to this package very infrequently.
- NuGet package names were preserved for beta1, but several DLL filenames were renamed.
- Runtime code generation was removed (Microsoft.Orleans.OrleansCodeGenerator package). You should use build-time codegen by installing the Microsoft.Orleans.OrleansCodeGenerator.Build package in the grain implementations' and interfaces' projects.
- SiloHostBuilder and ClientBuilder are intended to replace the previous ways of initializing Orleans. They are not at 100% parity with ClusterConfiguration and ClientConfiguration so these are still required for beta1, but they will be eventually deprecated.
- Note that when using SiloHostBuilder and ClientBuilder, Orleans will no longer scan every single assembly loaded in the AppDomain by default, and instead you need to be explicit to which ones you use by calling the AddApplicationPartXXX methods from each of the builders.
- Silo membership (and its counterpart Gateway List Provider on the client) and MessagingOptions can be configured using the utilities in the Microsoft.Extensions.Options package. Before the final 2.0.0 release, the plan is to have everything moved to that configuration infrastructure.
- Upgraded several dependencies to external packages that are .NET Standard compatible
- Add support for Scoped services. This means that each grain activation gets its own scoped service provider, and Orleans registers IGrainActivationContext that can be injected into Transient or Scoped service to get access to activation specific information and lifecycle events #2856 #3270 #3385
- Propagate failures in Grain.OnActivateAsync to callers #3315
- Removed obsolete GrainState class #3167
Non-breaking improvements
- Build-time codegen and silo startup have been hugely improved so that the expensive type discovery happens during build, but at startup it is very fast. This can remove several seconds to startup time, which can be especially noticeable when using TestCluster to spin up in-memory clusters all the time #3518
- Add SourceLink support for easier debugging of nuget packages. You can now follow the following steps to debug Orleans code within your app: https://www.stevejgordon.co.uk/debugging-asp-net-core-2-source #3564
- Add commit hash information in published assemblies #3575
- First version of Transactions support (still experimental, and will change in the future, not necessarily back-compatible when it does). Docs coming soon.
- Fast path for message addressing #3119
- Add extension for one-way grain calls #3224
- Google PubSub Stream provider #3210
- Lease based queue balancer for streams #3196 #3237 #3333
- Allow localhost connection in AWS SQS Storage provider #3485
Non-breaking bug fixes
- Fix occasional NullReferenceException during silo shutdown #3328
- Avoid serializing delegates and other non-portable types #3240
- ServiceFabric membership: ensure all silos reach a terminal state #3568
- Limit RequestContext to messaging layer. It is technically a change in behavior, but not one that end users could have relied upon, but listing it here in case someone notices side-effects due to this #3546

[1.5.2]

Non-breaking bug fixes
- Fix memory leak when using grain timers #3452
- Fix infrequent NullReferenceException during activation collection #3399

- Added missing registration for 7-component tuple and several collection interfaces #3282 #3313
- Support custom silo names in Service Fabric integration #3241
- Fix scheduling of notification interfaces (which impacted Service Fabric integration) #3290
- Dispose IServiceProvider during client shutdown #3249
- ClusterClient.Dispose() is now equivalent to Abort() #3306
- Avoid BadImageFormatException from being written in the log during Silo or client startup #3216
- Add build-time code generation to Microsoft.Orleans.OrleansServiceBus package #3344
- Several minor bug fixes and perf improvements, as well as reliability in our test code #3234 #3250 #3258 #3283 #3301 #3309 #3311

[1.5.0]

Breaking changes
- Bug fix: Azure storage providers now throw InconsistenStateException instead of StorageException when eTags do not match #2971
- Automatically deactivate a grain if it bubbles up InconsistentStateException (thrown when there is an optimistic concurrency conflict when writing to storage) #2959
- Upgraded minimum framework dependency to .NET 4.6.1 #2945
- Support for non-static client via ClientBuilder (although static GrainClient still works but will be removed in a future version). You can now start many clients in the same process, even if you are inside a Silo #2822. There are a few differences though:
  - Several changes to SerializationManager, mainly to make it non-static #2592
    - When deserializing a GrainReference from storage, you might need to re-bind it to the runtime by calling grain.BindGrainReference(grainFactory) on it or you would get GrainReferenceNotBoundException when attempting to use it #2738
    - Removed RegisterSerializerAttribute (and corresponding static Register method for registering a custom serializer). If you were using that, please read https://dotnet.github.io/orleans/Documentation/Advanced-Concepts/Serialization.html#writing-custom-serializers for alternative ways to register your custom serializer #2941
- Better serialization of Type values (but can cause compatibility issues if these were persisted by using the Serialziation Manager) #2952
- Providers are now constructed using Dependency Injection. The result is that custom providers must have a single public constructor with either no arguments or arguments which can all be injected, or they need to be explicitly registered in the ServiceCollection. #2721 #2980
- Replaced CacheSizeInMb setting with DataMaxAgeInCache and DataMinTimeInCache in stream providers #3126
- Renamed the Catalog.Activation.DuplicateActivations counter to Catalog.Activation.ConcurrentRegistrationAttempts to more accurately reflect what it tracks and its benign nature #3130
- Change default stream subscription faulting to false in EventHub and Memory stream providers, as is in other providers #2974
- Allow IGrainWithGuidCompoundKey as implicit subscription grain, and sets the stream namespace as the grain key extension (subtle breaking change: previous to 1.5 IGrainWithGuidCompoundKey wasn't technically supported, but if you did use it, the grain key extension would have had a null string) #3011
Non-breaking improvements
- Support for custom placement strategies and directors #2932
- Grain interface versioning to enable no-downtime upgrades #2837 2837 #3055

- Fix typos in format strings #2853
- Fix null reference exception in simple queue cache. #2829

[v1.4.0]

Breaking changes
- All grain instances and providers are constructed using the configured Dependency Injection container. The result is that all grains must have a single parameterless public constructor or single constructor with arguments which can all be injected. If no container is configured, the default container will be used. #2485
Known issues
- When the silo starts up, it will register IServiceProvider in the container, which can be a circular reference registration when using 3rd party containers such as AutoFac. This is being addressed for 1.4.1, but there is a simple workaround for it at #2747
- The build-time code generator required (and automatically added) a file named Properties\orleans.codegen.cs to the project where codegen was being ran. The new MSBuild targets no longer do that, so when upgrading a solution with a previous version of Orleans, you can safely delete this orleans.codegen.cs file from your grain projects.
Improvements
- Support for grains with generic methods #2670
- Do native PE files check before assembly loading to avoid misleading warnings on startup #2714
- Throw explicit exception when using streams not in Orleans Context #2683
- Several improvements to JournaledGrain API #2651 #2720
