Announcements

  • Protobuf News may include additional announcements or pre-announcements for upcoming changes.

Compiler

  • UPB text encoder without using reflection for Rust (used for a message's Debug trait) that will print out field number to value entries instead of field name to value entries of a message like how it's expected for the usual text format using reflection. (f9dd9ce)

  • Always report plugin support errors from protoc. (986ef8d)
