Akka.NET v1.5.15

1.5.15 January 9th 2024

Akka.NET v1.5.15 is a significant release for Akka.NET with some major feature additions and changes.

• Introducing Akka.Analyzers - Roslyn Analysis for Akka.NET
• Akka.Cluster.Sharding: perf optimize message extraction, automate StartEntity and ShardEnvelope handling
• Akka.Cluster.Tools: Make ClusterClient messages be serialized using ClusterClientMessageSerializer
• Akka.Persistence: Fix LocalSnapshotStore Metadata Fetch to ensure persistenceid match.
• Akka.Delivery: Fix ProducerControllerImpl<T> state bug
• Change MS.EXT and System package versioning to range - we now support all Microsoft.Extensions packages from (6.0,].
• Akka.Serialization: INoSerializationVerificationNeeded does not handle IWrappedMessage correctly

Akka.Analyzers

The core Akka NuGet package now references Akka.Analyzers, a new set of Roslyn Code Analysis and Code Fix Providers that we distribute via NuGet. You can see the full set of supported Akka.Analyzers rules here.

Akka.Cluster.Sharding Changes

In #6863 we made some major changes to the Akka.Cluster.Sharding API aimed at helping improve Cluster.Sharding's performance and ease of use. However, these changes may require some effort on the part of the end user in order to take full advantage:

• ExtractEntityId and ExtractShardId have been deprecated as they fundamentally can't be extended and can't benefit from the performance improvements introduced into Akka.NET v1.5.15. It is imperative that you migrate to using the HashCodeMessageExtractor instead.
• You no longer need to handle ShardRegion.StartEntity or ShardingEnvelope inside your IMessageExtractor implementations, and in fact AK2001 (part of Akka.Analyzers) will automatically detect this and remove those handlers for you. Akka.NET automatically handles these two message types internally now.

ClusterClient Serialization Changes

In #7032 we solved a long-standing serialization problem with the ClusterClient where Send, SendToAll, and Publish were not handled by the correct internal serializer. This has been fixed by default in Akka.NET v1.5.15, but this can potentially cause wire compatibility problems during upgrades - therefore we have introduced a configuration setting to toggle this:

# re-enable legacy serialization
akka.cluster.client.use-legacy-serialization = on

That setting is currently set to on by default, so v1.5.15 will still behave like previous versions of Akka.NET. However, if you have been affected by serialization issues with the ClusterClient (such as #6803) you should toggle this setting to off.

See "Akka.NET v1.5.15 Upgrade Advisories" for full details on some of the things you might need to do while upgrading to this version of Akka.NET.

Akka.NET v1.5.9

1.5.9 July 18th 2023

Akka.NET v1.5.9 is a maintenance release that introduces some performance improvements and internal code cleanup/modernization.

Changes:

• Remoting: Make transport adapter component public

Improvements:

• Memory optimization, use Array.Empty instead of creating empty arrays
• Remoting: Log all wrapped message layers during errors
• Port #6805 and #6807, Improve Stream and Pattern.Backoff instance creation time performance
• DData: Harden LWWDictionary serialization null check

Code modernization:

• Use C# 9.0 target-typed new()
• Use C# 8.0 null-coalescing operator

Update dependency versions:

• Bump Google.Protobuf to 3.23.4
• Bump Akka.MultiNode.TestAdapter to 1.5.8
• Bump Microsoft.Data.SQLite to 7.0.9
• Bump Microsoft.Extensions.ObjectPool to 7.0.8
• Bump Xunit to 2.5.0

Akka.TestKit.Xunit Changes

Due to breaking API change in Xunit 2.5.0, updating to Akka.NET 1.5.9 might break your unit tests. Some of the breaking change that we've noticed are:

• AkkaEqualException constructor has been changed due to changes in Xunit API. If you're using this class, please use the AkkaEqualException.ForMismatchedValues() static method instead of using the constructor.
• Testing for exception types by calling async code inside a sync delegate will not unwrap the AggregateException thrown. Either use async all the way or manually unwrap the exception.
• Xunit Asset.Equal() does not automatically check for collection item equality anymore, that means doing Assert.Equal() between two dictionary or list would not work anymore.
• Some Xunit classes have been changed from public to private. If you're using these classes, you will need to refactor your code.
• FsCheck.Xunit: Xunit Roslyn analyzer has become a bit too overzealous and insists that all unit test method can only return either void or Task and will raise a compilation error if you tried to return anything else. If you're using FsCheck.Xunit, you will need to use a pragma to disable this check: #pragma warning disable xUnit1028.
