v2.8.0

New Libraries

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.

• Advisory Notifications
• Alloy DB
• API Keys

Bigtable

• fix(bigtable): retries for CheckConsistency / AsyncWaitForConsistency (#10955)
• docs(bigtable): clean up CreateTable sample (#10844)

Data Catalog

• feat(datacatalog): generate lineage library (#10977)

KMS

The library has been expanded to include the KMS Inventory API.

Pub/Sub

• fix(pubsub): no warnings on ack()/nack() success (#10920)
• fix(pubsub): fewer default threads for 32-bit builds (#10793)

TPU

The library has been expanded to include the TPU v2 API.

Common Libraries

We have introduced versioned clients for many services. The version is that of
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
library (e.g. speech_v1::SpeechClient and speech_v2::SpeechClient). See
#10170 for more details.

• fix: retries for GetIamPolicy, TestIamPermissions (#10957)
• doc: improve description for "terminate" group (#10950)
• fix(common): fewer spurious warnings in the log (#10811)

v2.5.0

NOTE

• feat!: We have dropped the experimental marker from bidirectional streaming APIs (#10340). The APIs in question are:
  • bigquery::BigQueryWriteClient::AsyncAppendRows()
  • dialogflow_cx::SessionsClient::AsyncStreamingDetectIntent()
  • dialogflow_es::ParticipantsClient::AsyncStreamingAnalyzeContent()
  • dialogflow_es::SessionsClient::AsyncStreamingDetectIntent()
  • logging::LoggingServiceV2Client::AsyncTailLogEntries()

v2.2.0

New Libraries

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.

• API Keys

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.

• Bare Metal Solution
• Beyond Corp
• Optimization AI
• Cloud Run
• Video Services

Bigtable

• fix(bigtable): DataConnection refreshes channels (#9718)

Spanner

• feat(spanner): fine-grained access control (#9669)

Storage

• 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_HTTP to any value to use the legacy
  implementation. We are planning to remove the legacy code and the
  GOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_STORAGE_USE_LEGACY_HTTP environment variable by 2022-12.
• feat(storage): improve error messages on stalled uploads (#9744)
