Unreleased Changes (C++/Java/Python/PHP/Objective-C/C#/Ruby/JavaScript)
C++
* MessageDifferencer: fixed bug when using custom ignore with multiple
unknown fields
* Use init_seg in MSVC to push initialization to an earlier phase.
* Runtime no longer triggers -Wsign-compare warnings.
* Fixed -Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare warning.
* DynamicCastToGenerated works for nullptr input for even if RTTI is disabled
* Arena is refactored and optimized.
* Clarified/specified that the exact value of Arena::SpaceAllocated() is an
implementation detail users must not rely on. It should not be used in
unit tests.
* Change the signature of Any::PackFrom() to return false on error.
Java
* Avoid possible UnsupportedOperationException when using CodedInputSteam
with a direct ByteBuffer.
* Make Durations.comparator() and Timestamps.comparator() Serializable.
* Add more detailed error information for dynamic message field type
validation failure
Python
* Provided an override for the reverse() method that will reverse the internal
collection directly instead of using the other methods of the BaseContainer.
2020-11-11 version 3.14.0 (C++/Java/Python/PHP/Objective-C/C#/Ruby/JavaScript)
Protocol Compiler
* The proto compiler no longer requires a .proto filename when it is not
generating code.
* Added flag `--deterministic_output` to `protoc --encode=...`.
* Fixed deadlock when using google.protobuf.Any embedded in aggregate options.
C++
* Arenas are now unconditionally enabled. cc_enable_arenas no longer has
any effect.
* Removed inlined string support, which is incompatible with arenas.
* Fix a memory corruption bug in reflection when mixing optional and
non-optional fields.
* Make SpaceUsed() calculation more thorough for map fields.
* Add stack overflow protection for text format with unknown field values.
* FieldPath::FollowAll() now returns a bool to signal if an out-of-bounds
error was encountered.
* Performance improvements for Map.
* Minor formatting fix when dumping a descriptor to .proto format with
DebugString.
* UBSAN fix in RepeatedField (#2073).
* When running under ASAN, skip a test that makes huge allocations.
* Fixed a crash that could happen when creating more than 256 extensions in
a single message.
* Fix a crash in BuildFile when passing in invalid descriptor proto.
* Parser security fix when operating with CodedInputStream.
* Warn against the use of AllowUnknownExtension.
* Migrated to C++11 for-range loops instead of index-based loops where
possible. This fixes a lot of warnings when compiling with -Wsign-compare.
* Fix segment fault for proto3 optional (#7805)
* Adds a CMake option to build `libprotoc` separately (#7949)
Java
* Bugfix in mergeFrom() when a oneof has multiple message fields.
* Fix RopeByteString.RopeInputStream.read() returning -1 when told to read
0 bytes when not at EOF.
* Redefine remove(Object) on primitive repeated field Lists to avoid
autoboxing.
* Support "\u" escapes in textformat string literals.
* Trailing empty spaces are no longer ignored for FieldMask.
* Fix FieldMaskUtil.subtract to recursively remove mask.
* Mark enums with `@java.lang.Deprecated` if the proto enum has option
`deprecated = true;`.
* Adding forgotten duration.proto to the lite library (#7738)
Python
* Print google.protobuf.NullValue as null instead of "NULL_VALUE" when it is
used outside WKT Value/Struct.
* Fix bug occurring when attempting to deep copy an enum type in python 3.
* Add a setuptools extension for generating Python protobufs (#7783)
* Remove uses of pkg_resources in non-namespace packages. (#7902)
* [bazel/py] Omit google/__init__.py from the Protobuf runtime. (#7908)
* Removed the unnecessary setuptools package dependency for Python package (#7511)
* Fix PyUnknownFields memory leak (#7928)
PHP
* Added support for "==" to the PHP C extension (#7883)
* Added `==` operators for Map and Array. (#7900)
* Native C well-known types (#7944)
* Optimized away hex2bin() call in generated code (#8006)
* New version of upb, and a new hash function wyhash in third_party. (#8000)
* add missing hasOneof method to check presence of oneof fields (#8003)
Go:
* Update go_package options to reference google.golang.org/protobuf module.
C#:
* annotate ByteString.CopyFrom(ReadOnlySpan<byte>) as SecuritySafeCritical (#7701)
* Fix C# optional field reflection when there are regular fields too (#7705)
* Fix parsing negative Int32Value that crosses segment boundary (#8035)
Javascript:
* JS: parse (un)packed fields conditionally (#7379)
2020-07-14 version 3.13.0 (C++/Java/Python/PHP/Objective-C/C#/Ruby/JavaScript)
PHP:
* The C extension is completely rewritten. The new C extension has significantly
better parsing performance and fixes a handful of conformance issues. It will
also make it easier to add support for more features like proto2 and proto3 presence.
* The new C extension does not support PHP 5.x. PHP 5.x users can still use pure-PHP.
C++:
* Removed deprecated unsafe arena string accessors
* Enabled heterogeneous lookup for std::string keys in maps.
* Removed implicit conversion from StringPiece to std::string
* Fix use-after-destroy bug when the Map is allocated in the arena.
* Improved the randomness of map ordering
* Added stack overflow protection for text format with unknown fields
* Use std::hash for proto maps to help with portability.
* Added more Windows macros to proto whitelist.
* Arena constructors for map entry messages are now marked "explicit"
(for regular messages they were already explicit).
* Fix subtle aliasing bug in RepeatedField::Add
* Fix mismatch between MapEntry ByteSize and Serialize with respect to unset
fields.
Python:
* JSON format conformance fixes:
* Reject lowercase t for Timestamp json format.
* Print full_name directly for extensions (no camelCase).
* Reject boolean values for integer fields.
* Reject NaN, Infinity, -Infinity that is not quoted.
* Base64 fixes for bytes fields: accept URL-safe base64 and missing padding.
* Bugfix for fields/files named "async" or "await".
* Improved the error message when AttributeError is returned from __getattr__
in EnumTypeWrapper.
Java:
* Fixed a bug where setting optional proto3 enums with setFooValue() would
not mark the value as present.
* Add Subtract function to FieldMaskUtil.
C#:
* Dropped support for netstandard1.0 (replaced by support for netstandard1.1).
This was required to modernize the parsing stack to use the `Span<byte>`
type internally. (#7351)
* Add `ParseFrom(ReadOnlySequence<byte>)` method to enable GC friendly
parsing with reduced allocations and buffer copies. (#7351)
* Add support for serialization directly to a `IBufferWriter<byte>` or
to a `Span<byte>` to enable GC friendly serialization.
The new API is available as extension methods on the `IMessage` type. (#7576)
* Add `GOOGLE_PROTOBUF_REFSTRUCT_COMPATIBILITY_MODE` define to make
generated code compatible with old C# compilers (pre-roslyn compilers
from .NET framework and old versions of mono) that do not support
ref structs. Users that are still on a legacy stack that does
not support C# 7.2 compiler might need to use the new define
in their projects to be able to build the newly generated code. (#7490)
* Due to the major overhaul of parsing and serialization internals (#7351 and #7576),
it is recommended to regenerate your generated code to achieve the best
performance (the legacy generated code will still work, but might incur
a slight performance penalty).
2020-07-28 version 3.12.4 (C++/Java/Python/PHP/Objective-C/C#/Ruby/JavaScript)
This release contains no significant changes, but exists because 3.12.3 was
mistakenly tagged at the wrong commit.
2020-06-01 version 3.12.3 (C++/Java/Python/PHP/Objective-C/C#/Ruby/JavaScript)
Objective-C
* Tweak the union used for Extensions to support old generated code. #7573
2020-05-26 version 3.12.2 (C++/Java/Python/PHP/Objective-C/C#/Ruby/JavaScript)
C++

* In-progress experimental support for implicit weak fields with lite protos.
This feature allows the linker to strip out more unused messages and reduce
binary size.
* Various performance optimizations.
Java
* Proto3 messages are now preserving unknown fields by default. If you’d like
to drop unknown fields, please use the DiscardUnknownFieldsParser API. For
example:
Parser<Foo> parser = DiscardUnknownFieldsParser.wrap(Foo.parser());
Foo foo = parser.parseFrom(input);
* Added a new CodedInputStream decoder for Iterable<ByteBuffer> with direct
ByteBuffers.
* TextFormat now prints unknown length-delimited fields as messages if
possible.
* FieldMaskUtil.merge() no longer creates unnecessary empty messages when a
message field is unset in both source message and destination message.
* Various performance optimizations.
Python
* Proto3 messages are now preserving unknown fields by default. Use
message.DiscardUnknownFields() to drop unknown fields.
* Add FieldDescriptor.file in generated code.
* Add descriptor pool FindOneofByName in pure python.
* Change unknown enum values into unknown field set .
* Add more Python dict/list compatibility for Struct/ListValue.
* Add utf-8 support for text_format.Merge()/Parse().
* Support numeric unknown enum values for proto3 JSON format.
* Add warning for Unexpected end-group tag in cpp extension.
PHP
* Proto3 messages are now preserving unknown fields.
* Provide well known type messages in runtime.
* Add prefix ‘PB’ to generated class of reserved names.
* Fixed all conformance tests for encode/decode json in php runtime. C
extension needs more work.
Objective-C
* Fixed some issues around copying of messages with unknown fields and then
mutating the unknown fields in the copy.
C#
* Added unknown field support in JsonParser.
* Fixed oneof message field merge.
* Simplify parsing messages from array slices.
Ruby
* Unknown fields are now preserved by default.
* Fixed several bugs for segment fault.
Javascript
* Decoder can handle both paced and unpacked data no matter how the proto is
defined.
* Decoder now accept long varint for 32 bit integers.
2017-08-14 version 3.4.0 (C++/Java/Python/PHP/Objective-C/C#/Ruby/JavaScript)
Planned Future Changes
* There are some changes that are not included in this release but are planned
for the near future
- Preserve unknown fields in proto3: We are going to bring unknown fields
back into proto3. In this release, some languages start to support
preserving unknown fields in proto3, controlled by flags/options. Some
languages also introduce explicit APIs to drop unknown fields for
migration. Please read the change log sections by languages for details.

For issues and discussions:
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/issues/272
- Make C++ implementation C++11 only: we plan to require C++11 to build
protobuf code starting from 3.5.0 or 3.6.0 release, after unknown fields
semantic changes are finished. Please join this
github issue:
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/issues/2780
to provide your feedback.
General
* Extension ranges now accept options and are customizable.
* "reserve" keyword now supports “max” in field number ranges,
e.g. reserve 1000 to max;
C++
* Proto3 messages are now able to preserve unknown fields. The default
behavior is still to drop unknowns, which will be flipped in a future
release. If you rely on unknowns fields being dropped. Please use
Message::DiscardUnknownFields() explicitly.
* Packable proto3 fields are now packed by default in serialization.
* Following C++11 features are introduced when C++11 is available:
- move-constructor and move-assignment are introduced to messages
- Repeated fields constructor now takes std::initializer_list
- rvalue setters are introduced for string fields
* Experimental Table-Driven parsing and serialization available to test. To
enable it, pass in table_driven_parsing table_driven_serialization protoc
generator flags for C++
$ protoc --cpp_out=table_driven_parsing,table_driven_serialization:./ \
test.proto
* lite generator parameter supported by the generator. Once set, all generated
files, use lite runtime regardless of the optimizer_for setting in the
.proto file.
* Various optimizations to make C++ code more performant on PowerPC platform
* Fixed maps data corruption when the maps are modified by both reflection API
and generated API.
* Deterministic serialization on maps reflection now uses stable sort.
* file() accessors are introduced to various *Descriptor classes to make
writing template function easier.
* ByteSize() and SpaceUsed() are deprecated.Use ByteSizeLong() and
SpaceUsedLong() instead
* Consistent hash function is used for maps in DEBUG and NDEBUG build.
* "using namespace std" is removed from stubs/common.h
* Various performance optimizations and bug fixes
Java
* Introduced new parser API DiscardUnknownFieldsParser in preparation of
proto3 unknown fields preservation change. Users who want to drop unknown
fields should migrate to use this new parser API. For example:
Parser<Foo> parser = DiscardUnknownFieldsParser.wrap(Foo.parser());
Foo foo = parser.parseFrom(input);
* Introduced new TextFormat API printUnicodeFieldValue() that prints field
value without escaping unicode characters.
* Added Durations.compare(Duration, Duration) and
Timestamps.compare(Timestamp, Timestamp).
* JsonFormat now accepts base64url encoded bytes fields.
* Optimized CodedInputStream to do less copies when parsing large bytes
fields.
* Optimized TextFormat to allocate less memory when printing.
Python
* SerializeToString API is changed to SerializeToString(self, **kwargs),
deterministic parameter is accepted for deterministic serialization.
* Added sort_keys parameter in json format to make the output deterministic.
* Added indent parameter in json format.
* Added extension support in json format.
* Added __repr__ support for repeated field in cpp implementation.
* Added file in FieldDescriptor.
* Added pretty-print filter to text format.
* Services and method descriptors are always printed even if generic_service
option is turned off.
* Note: AppEngine 2.5 is deprecated on June 2017 that AppEngine 2.5 will
never update protobuf runtime. Users who depend on AppEngine 2.5 should use
old protoc.
PHP
* Support PHP generic services. Specify file option php_generic_service=true
to enable generating service interface.
* Message, repeated and map fields setters take value instead of reference.
* Added map iterator in c extension.
* Support json encode/decode.
* Added more type info in getter/setter phpdoc
* Fixed the problem that c extension and php implementation cannot be used
together.
* Added file option php_namespace to use custom php namespace instead of
package.
* Added fluent setter.
* Added descriptor API in runtime for custom encode/decode.
* Various bug fixes.
Objective-C
* Fix for GPBExtensionRegistry copying and add tests.
* Optimize GPBDictionary.m codegen to reduce size of overall library by 46K
per architecture.
* Fix some cases of reading of 64bit map values.
* Properly error on a tag with field number zero.
* Preserve unknown fields in proto3 syntax files.
* Document the exceptions on some of the writing apis.
C#
* Implemented IReadOnlyDictionary<K,V> in MapField<K,V>
* Added TryUnpack method for Any message in addition to Unpack.
* Converted C# projects to MSBuild (csproj) format.
Ruby
* Several bug fixes.
Javascript
* Added support of field option js_type. Now one can specify the JS type of a
64-bit integer field to be string in the generated code by adding option
[jstype = JS_STRING] on the field.
