Kitex Release v0.11.0

Projects:

Highly recommend upgrading Kitex version to v0.11.3 or higher, because there’s some bugfix on v0.11.0.

Introduction to Key Changes

New Feature

  1. Mixed Retry: Supports enabling both “Failure Retry” and “Backup Request” strategies simultaneously, which can reduce tail requests while increasing the success rate of retries, for more detail: Retry
  2. Custom Payload Validation: To avoid inconsistencies in data transmission caused by hardware failures or data tampering, Kitex provides validation functionality for payload messages and supports custom extensions. For usage: Payload Validator.

Feature optimization

  1. Frugal ARM Optimization: Frugal v0.2.0 now supports a new implement by reflection
  2. Kitex Tool Improvement: Kitex Tool provide a new param -rapid to integrates Thriftgo and there’s a slightly improved speed.

Others

  1. Support Go 1.18~1.23. Minimum support for Golang 1.18，if your golang version is lower than 1.18, you’ll see note: module requires Go 1.18 when you compile.
  2. Remove Apache Thrift，and refactor all related interface into github.com/cloudwego/gopkg/thrift.
