Kitex Release v0.7.0
Projects:
Introduction to Key Changes
Features
1. gRPC Compression Support
Implemented compression support for Kitex gRPC, allowing compression methods like gzip to reduce payload size.
2. GLS (Goroutine Local Storage)
Utilized the local-session component for context propagation in fallback requests, addressing the issue of broken microservice chains caused by missing ctx.
Optimizations
1. Unserialized Unknown Fields
Implemented unserialization of unknown fields, resulting in a performance improvement of approximately 6x to 7x on FastCodec. See details in #1017.
2. Integration with DynamicGo
Integrated dynamicgo into Kitex’s generic module to enhance performance of JSON/HTTP generic invocations (+50% to 200%).
Others
Upgraded Thriftgo library dependency to v0.3.0, adding support for Thriftgo reflection, enabling runtime access to IDL metadata.
