v1.16.0-rc03

What's Changed

• The protos used by durabletask were slight inconsistent with those used by the Dapr runtime (as they used the latest from microsoft/durable-task). These have been updated acordingly.

v1.16.0-rc02

This is a follow-up to the v1.16.0-rc01 prerelease build deployed last week and fixes another related set of issues that came to light after the outer timeout issue was discovered.

Like the rest of the 1.16 releases will be, this only supports the .NET 8 and .NET 9 targets and does not support .NET 6 or .NET 7. That said, like the previous 1.16.0-rc01 prerelease, this also excludes all the 1.16 feature releases and is fully compatible with the latest 1.15 Dapr runtime.

Please don't hesitate to reach out for assistance here or via our Dapr Discord channel if you have any questions about this.

What's Changed

• Durable task package update by @WhitWaldo in #1546

v1.16.0-rc01

This is an out-of-band patch release to address an issue raised with workflows timing out and reconnecting frequently when they're either idle or activities run for a long period of time.

It is released as a release candidate on the 1.16 series because it only supports .NET 8 and .NET 9 targets (which 1.16 will be limited to as well) and does not also include support for the .NET 6 and .NET 7 targets that 1.15 targets.

That said, none of the functionality currently being built out for the 1.16 release is included in this RC, but it does include all the patches up to the most recent 1.15 release, so if you're targeting .NET 8 or .NET 9, you should be able to safely consume this package without fear of significant changes more common to the main Dapr releases.

v1.15.4

What's Changed

• Updating gRPC and Microsoft.DurableTask.* packages by @WhitWaldo in #1523

This release fixes a reported issue regarding issues connecting (and reconnecting) to the scheduler when using .NET 9 and Dapr.Workflows.

v1.15.2

What's Changed

• Actor reminder deserialization bugfix by @WhitWaldo in #1483

This allows for actor reminders to be properly deserialized even if the Period or TTL fields includes a duration expression (e.g. @weekly or @every 1.5h25s). Do note that because of how the current Actors API is shaped, it requires deserialization to a TimeSpan as opposed to how we approach this in Dapr.Jobs and deserialize all available formats to a DaprJobSchedule. As a result, some of the TimeSpan return values may not make a lot of sense; for example one can't really express @midnight as a timespan despite being an allowed duration expression. Rather, this will deserialize as new TimeSpan() with all zeroed-out values.

As later Dapr releases increasing target improvements to Actors, we'll look into opportunities to revisit this approach and make it more consistent with other Dapr APIs like the aforementioned Dapr.Jobs.
