  • Fix type filter import filtering for options.
  • Add OS environment when invoking local buf plugins.
  • Add file path to buf lint and buf breaking output even when source code info is not available. This allows buf lint and buf breaking to respect ignore and ignore_only configurations when source code info is not available.

  • Support remote check plugins in buf lint and buf breaking commands.

v1.47.2 - 2024-11-14

  • Update the patch version to resolve NPM packaging issues. No command updates or user changes.

v1.47.1 - 2024-11-14

  • Update the patch version to resolve NPM packaging issues. No command updates or user changes.

v1.47.0 - 2024-11-13

  • Move buf registry commit to buf registry module commit. Command buf registry commit is now deprecated.
  • Move buf registry label to buf registry module label. Command buf registry label is now deprecated.

v1.46.0 - 2024-10-29

  • Add buf registry whoami command, which checks if you are logged in to the Buf Schema Registry at a given domain.

v1.45.0 - 2024-10-08

  • Update buf registry module info --format=json to add default_label_name, which provides the name of the default label of a module.

v1.44.0 - 2024-10-03

  • Update the PROTOVALIDATE lint rule to check example field options. Examples will be checked that they satisfy the field constraints, and are only present if constraints are present.
  • Update the PROTOVALIDATE lint rule to check predefined rules. Predefined rules will be checked that they compile.
  • Add support for a WebAssembly (Wasm) runtime for custom lint and breaking changes plugins. Use the .wasm file extension to specify a path to a Wasm plugin.

v1.43.0 - 2024-09-30

  • Add new experimental LSP support under buf beta lsp.

v1.42.0 - 2024-09-18

  • Add support for custom lint and breaking change plugins. See our launch blog post for more details!
  • Add buf dep graph --format flag that defaults to dot, and adds the option json, to print the dependency graph in JSON format.
  • Fix bugs in buf format where trailing comments on commas in message literals were not properly propagated to the formatted proto, empty message literals were not properly indented, and compound strings in options added an extra newline before trailing commas.

v1.41.0 - 2024-09-11

  • Add HTTP/3 support for gRPC with buf curl.
  • Fix issue where errors from protoc plugins may be overwritten when executing plugins in parallel.

v1.40.1 - 2024-09-06

  • Fix issue with buf lint where comment ignores in the shape of // buf:lint:ignore <RULE_ID> <extra comment> were not recognized due to the extra comment.

v1.40.0 - 2024-09-04

  • Add concept of a default lint or breaking rule, which is printed out as a property when running buf config ls-{breaking,lint}-rules. Default rules are those rules which are run if no lint or breaking rules are explicitly configured in your buf.yaml.
  • Rename DEFAULT lint rule category to STANDARD. With the concept of default rules being introduced, having a category named DEFAULT is confusing, as while it happens that all the rules in the DEFAULT lint category are also default rules, the name has become overloaded. As with all buf changes, this change is backwards-compatible: the DEFAULT lint category continues to work, and always will. We recommend changing to STANDARD, however.

v1.39.0 - 2024-08-27

  • Fix git input handling of relative HEAD refs without branch names.
  • Add includes key to module configurations in v2 buf.yaml, accepting a list of directories.
    • If includes is specified, a proto file is considered in the module only if it is in one of the directories specified.
    • If both includes and excludes keys are specified for a module, a proto file is considered part of this module if it is contained in any of the include paths and not in any of the exclude paths.
  • Allow multiple module configurations in the same v2 buf.yaml to have the same directory path.

v1.38.0 - 2024-08-22

  • Add --http3 flag to buf curl which forces buf curl to use HTTP/3 as the transport.
  • Fix issue with directory inputs for v2 workspaces where the specified directory was not itself a path to a module, but contained directories with modules, and the modules would not build.
  • Stop creating empty buf.lock files when buf dep update does not find new dependencies to update and there is no existing buf.lock.
  • Update buf push to push the license file or doc file (e.g. README.md, LICENSE) in the same directory as buf.yaml if a module does not have a license file or doc file in the module's directory.
  • Fix constraints of --path flag for lint and breaking rules to avoid resolving all files within a module. This change can result in a performance improvement for large workspaces.

v1.37.0 - 2024-08-16

  • Add STABLE_PACKAGE_NO_IMPORT_UNSTABLE lint rule which disallows files from stable packages to import files from unstable packages.
  • Fix plugin push failures when pushing an image built with containerd image store.

v1.36.0 - 2024-08-06

  • Add --list-services and --list-methods flags to buf curl, which trigger the command to list known services or methods in the RPC schema, instead of invoking an RPC method.
  • Add clean as a top-level option in buf.gen.yaml, matching the buf generate --clean flag. If set to true, this will delete the directories, jar files, or zip files set to out for each plugin.
  • Fix git input handling of annotated tags.
  • Update buf registry login to complete the login flow in the browser by default. This allows users to login with their browser and have the token automatically provided to the CLI.
  • Add buf registry organization {create, delete, info, update} commands to manage BSR organizations. Remove buf beta registry organization commands.
  • Add buf registry module {create, delete, deprecate, info, undeprecate, update} commands to manage BSR modules. Remove buf beta registry repository commands.
  • Add buf registry label {archive, info, list, unarchive} commands to manage BSR module labels. Remove buf beta registry label commands and buf beta registry {archive, unarchive}.
  • Add buf registry commit {add-label, info, list, resolve} to manage BSR module commits. Remove buf beta registry commit commands.

v1.35.1 - 2024-07-24

  • Fix the git input parameter ref to align with the git notion of a ref. This allows for the use of branch names, tag names, and commit hashes.
  • Fix unexpected buf build errors with absolute path directory inputs without workspace and/or module configurations (e.g. buf.yaml, buf.work.yaml) and proto file paths set to the --path flag.

v1.35.0 - 2024-07-22

  • Add buf generate --clean flag that will delete the directories, jar files, or zip files that the plugins will write to, prior to generation. Allows cleaning of existing assets without having to call rm -rf.
  • Deprecate --username flag on and username prompt on buf registry login. A username is no longer required to log in.

v1.34.0 - 2024-06-21

  • Add buf config ls-modules command to list configured modules.
  • Fix issue where buf generate would succeed on missing insertion points and panic on empty insertion point files.
  • Update buf generate to allow the use of Editions syntax when doing local code generation by proxying to a protoc binary (for languages where code gen is implemented inside of protoc instead of in a plugin: Java, C++, Python, etc).
  • Allow use of an array of strings for the protoc_path property of for buf.gen.yaml, where the first array element is the actual path and other array elements are extra arguments that are passed to protoc each time it is invoked.

v1.33.0 - 2024-06-13

  • Allow user to override --source-control-url and --create-default-label when using --git-metadata with buf push.
  • Fix buf push --git-metadata when local tags point to different objects than the remote tags.
  • Fix issue where comment ignores were not respected for PROTOVALIDATE lint rule violations.
  • Add buf beta registry label {create,get,list} to replace buf beta registry {draft, tag} commands.
  • Update buf beta commit {get,list} command outputs to display create time and stop displaying associated tags.
  • Change the behavior of buf beta commit list <buf.build/owner/repository> when the reference is empty. It now lists commits in the repository instead of listing commits of the default label.
  • Update output of buf format to canonicalize the punctuation used in message literals in option values. The output now always uses { and } instead of < and >; it adds : separators between field names and message values if the source omitted them, and it removes unnecessary separators between fields (, and ; are allowed, but neither is needed).
  • Update buf format -w so that it does not touch files whose contents don't actually change. This eliminates noisy notifications to file-system-watcher tools that are watching the directory that contains proto sources.
  • Update buf generate to work with plugins provided by protoc for versions v24.0 to v25.3. Editions support was experimental in these releases, and the plugins advertise incomplete support for editions, which triggers buf to report an error. With this fix, these plugins can be used again as long as none of the input files use editions syntax.
  • Add buf push --exclude-unnamed flag to exclude unnamed modules when pushing to the BSR.

v1.32.2 - 2024-05-28

  • Update buf generate to warn instead of error when proto3 optional is required but not supported by a plugin.

v1.32.1 - 2024-05-21

  • Fix archive and git inputs so that --path and --exclude-path paths are relative to the #subdir rather than the root of the input. This fixes an unintended behavior change that was introduced in v1.32.0.
  • Add module input for protoc-gen-buf-lint and protoc-gen-buf-breaking to allow users to specify the module for v2 configuration files.

v1.32.0 - 2024-05-16

  • Add version v2 for buf.yaml and buf.gen.yaml configuration files.
  • Add buf config migrate to migrate configuration files to the latest version (now v2).
  • Move buf mod init to buf config init. buf mod init is now deprecated.
  • Move buf mod ls-lint-rules to buf config ls-lint-rules. buf mod ls-lint-rules is now deprecated.
  • Move buf mod ls-breaking-rules to buf config ls-breaking-rules. buf mod ls-breaking-rules is now deprecated.
  • Move buf mod prune to buf dep prune. buf mod prune is now deprecated.
  • Move buf mod update to buf dep update. buf mod update is now deprecated.
  • Move buf mod {clear-cache,cc} to buf registry cc. buf mod {clear-cache,cc} is now deprecated.
  • Move buf beta graph to stable as buf dep graph.
  • Change the default visibility of buf push --create-visibility to private when the --create flag is set. Users are no longer required to set --create-visibility when running buf push --create.
  • Add buf push --label, which allows users to set labels when pushing new commits to the BSR.
  • Add buf push --source-control-url, which allows users to associate commits pushed to the BSR with a URL to a source code repository.
  • Add buf push --create-default-label, which allows users to set a default label for a repository when calling buf push --create.
  • Add buf push --git-metadata, which automatically sets appropriate --label, --source-control-url, and --create-default-label flags based on the current Git repository.
  • Add buf convert --validate to apply protovalidate rules to incoming messages specified with --from.
  • Deprecate buf mod open.
  • Delete buf beta migrate-v1beta1 This is now replaced with buf config migrate.
  • Add buf registry sdk version to get the version of a Generated SDK for a module and plugin.
  • Add buf beta registry archive and buf beta registry unarchive commands for archiving and unarchiving labels on the BSR.
  • Add support for Protobuf Editions. This allows buf to be used with sources that use edition 2023, instead of proto2 or proto3 syntax. This also updates the protoc-gen-buf-breaking and protoc-gen-buf-lint Protobuf plugins to support files that use edition 2023.
  • Update buf breaking rules to work with Protobuf Editions. To support Editions, some rules have been deprecated and replaced with Editions-aware rules. All deprecated rules continue to work for existing users.
    • FIELD_SAME_CTYPE has been replaced with FIELD_SAME_CPP_STRING_TYPE, which considers both ctype field options and new (pb.cpp).string_type features when deciding on backwards compatibility.
    • FIELD_SAME_LABEL has been replaced with three rules that all check "cardinality". The new rules can distinguish between maps and other repeated fields and between implicit and explicit field presence. The new rules are:
      1. FIELD_SAME_CARDINALITY in the FILE and PACKAGE categories.
      2. FIELD_WIRE_COMPATIBLE_CARDINALITY in the WIRE category.
      3. FIELD_WIRE_JSON_COMPATIBLE_CARDINALITY in the WIRE_JSON category.
    • FILE_SAME_JAVA_STRING_CHECK_UTF8 has been replaced with FIELD_SAME_JAVA_UTF8_VALIDATION, which considers both the java_string_check_utf8 file option and (pb.java).utf8_validation features when deciding on backwards compatibility.
    • Add to the existing FILE_SAME_SYNTAX rule with a few related rules that can catch the same sort of compatibility issues, but in an Editions source file that changes feature values:
      1. MESSAGE_SAME_JSON_FORMAT and ENUM_SAME_JSON_FORMAT catch changes to the json_format feature, which controls whether support for the JSON format is best-effort or properly supported. When supported, the compiler performs more checks relating to field name collisions for the JSON format as well as for FieldMask usage.
      2. FIELD_SAME_UTF8_VALIDATION catches changes to the utf8_validation feature, which controls validation of string values.
      3. ENUM_SAME_TYPE catches changes to an enum's type, open vs. closed.
  • Add support for extensions to buf breaking. All existing rules for fields are now applied to extensions, except for FIELD_NO_DELETE (and its variants). There are also new EXTENSION_NO_DELETE and PACKAGE_EXTENSION_NO_DELETE rules for catching deletions of an extension. The new rules are not active by default in existing v1 and v1beta1 configurations, for backwards-compatibility reasons. Migrate your config to v2 to use them.
  • Add support for top-level extensions to buf lint. It previously only checked extensions that were defined inside of messages.
  • Add a new FIELD_NOT_REQUIRED lint rule that prevents use of required in proto2 files and of features.field_presence = LEGACY_REQUIRED in Editions files. This new rule is not active by default in existing v1 and v1beta1 configurations, for backwards-compatibility reasons. Migrate your config to v2 to use them.

v1.32.0-beta.1 - 2024-04-23

  • Add buf convert --validate to apply protovalidate rules to incoming messages specified with --from.
  • Add buf config migrate to migrate configuration files to the latest version (now v2).
  • Promote buf beta graph to stable as buf dep graph.
  • Move buf mod init to buf config init. buf mod init is now deprecated.
  • Move buf mod ls-lint-rules to buf config ls-lint-rules. buf mod ls-lint-rules is now deprecated.
  • Move buf mod ls-breaking-rules to buf config ls-breaking-rules. buf mod ls-breaking-rules is now deprecated.
  • Move buf mod prune to buf dep prune. buf mod prune is now deprecated.
  • Move buf mod update to buf dep update. buf mod update is now deprecated.
  • Move buf mod {clear-cache,cc} to buf registry cc. buf mod {clear-cache,cc} is now deprecated.
  • Deprecate buf mod open.
  • Delete buf beta migrate-v1beta1.
  • Add buf registry sdk version to get the version of a Generated SDK for a module and plugin.

v1.31.0 - 2024-04-23

  • Update dependencies.

v1.30.1 - 2024-04-03

  • Fix issue where buf lint incorrectly reports an error for (buf.validate.field).repeated is set for a repeated validation rule.

v1.30.0 - 2024-03-07

  • Update buf generate so it populates the recently-added source_file_descriptors field of the CodeGeneratorRequest message. This provides the plugin with access to options that are configured to only be retained in source and not at runtime (via field option). Descriptors in the proto_file field will not include any options configured this way for the files named in file_to_generate field.
  • Add --exclude-source-retention-options flag to buf build, which causes options configured to only be retained in source to be stripped from the output descriptors.

v1.29.0 - 2024-01-24

  • Add support for yaml format. All commands that take image inputs, output images, or convert between message formats, now take yaml as a format, in addition to the existing binpb and txtpb formats. Some examples:
    • buf build -o image.yaml
    • buf ls-files image.yaml
    • buf convert --type foo.Bar --from input.binpb --to output.yaml
  • The yaml and json formats now accept two new options: use_proto_names and use_enum_numbers. This affects output serialization. Some examples:
    • buf convert --type foo.Bar --from input.binpb --to output.yaml#use_proto_names=true
    • buf convert --type foo.Bar --from input.binpb --to -#format=yaml,use_enum_numbers=true
  • Fix issue where buf format would inadvertently mangle files that used the expanded Any syntax in option values.

v1.28.1 - 2023-11-15

  • The buf curl command has been updated to support the use of multiple schemas. This allows users to specify multiple --schema flags and/or to use both --schema and --reflect flags at the same time. The result is that additional sources can be consulted to resolve an element. This can be useful when the result of an RPC contains extensions or values in google.protobuf.Any messages that are not defined in the same schema that defines the RPC service.
  • Fix issue where buf lint incorrectly reports error when (buf.validate.field).required is set for an optional field in proto3.

v1.28.0 - 2023-11-10

  • Add lint rules for protovalidate. buf lint will now verify that your protovalidate rules are valid. A single rule PROTOVALIDATE has been added to the DEFAULT group - given that protovalidate is net new, this does not represent a breaking change.
  • Update buf beta price with the latest pricing information.
  • Display a warning when reading a buf.lock with dependencies with b1 or b3 digests. b1 and b3 digests will be deprecated in a future version. Run buf mod update to update dependency digests.

v1.27.2 - 2023-10-27

  • Fix issue where buf build and other commands may fail when handling certain archives created on macOS that contain files with extended attributes.

v1.27.1 - 2023-10-16

  • Fix issue in v1.27.0 where --path did not work with workspaces under certain scenarios.

v1.27.0 - 2023-10-04

  • Fix issue where buf generate --exclude-path was not properly excluding paths for remote modules.
  • Fix issue where buf curl had a user agent that did not properly place the extension as a suffix.
  • Update buf beta price with the latest pricing information.

v1.26.1 - 2023-08-09

  • Fix issue where buf build -o did not properly output files with the .txtpb extension in Protobuf text format.

v1.26.0 - 2023-08-09

  • Add support for the --http2-prior-knowledge flag when running buf curl against secure "https" URLs. This can be used with gRPC servers, that only support HTTP/2, when used with a network (layer 4) load balancer, that does not support protocol negotiation in TLS handshake.

v1.25.1 - 2023-08-02

  • Fix issue where all files were being iterated over when using the --path flag.
  • Fix issue where the directory . was incorrectly accepted as a value for the directories key in buf.work.yaml.

v1.25.0 - 2023-07-18

  • Add txtpb format to handle the Protobuf text format. and automatically recognize .txtpb files as Protobuf text files. The txtpb format can now be used with all buf commands that take images as input or output, such as build, convert, and curl.

v1.24.0 - 2023-07-13

  • Update buf mod update to block updates that will result in conflicting .proto files across dependencies.
  • Replace bin format with binpb format, and support the .binpb file extension. .binpb is now the canonical file extension for binary-encoded Protobuf data. The bin format and the .bin file extension continue to be accepted.
  • Remove support for go subdomain in .netrc. This was used as part of the remote generation alpha, which has been fully deprecated in favor of remote plugins and remote packages. See https://buf.build/blog/remote-packages-remote-plugins-approaching-v1 for more details.
  • Update buf beta price with the latest pricing information.

v1.23.1 - 2023-06-30

  • Fix issue where buf beta graph would not print modules within a workspace that had no dependencies or dependents.
  • Fix issue where buf beta graph would print warnings for missing dependencies that were actually present.

v1.23.0 - 2023-06-29

  • Add buf beta graph to print the dependency graph for a module in DOT format.
  • Various small bug fixes.

v1.22.0 - 2023-06-23

  • Change default for --origin flag of buf beta studio-agent to https://buf.build

v1.21.0 - 2023-06-05

  • Fix issue where locally-produced images did not have module information if the corresponding module was stored in the new cache.
  • Remove buf beta registry template.
  • Remove buf beta registry plugin {create,deprecate,list,undeprecate,version} and replace with buf beta registry plugin {push,delete}.
  • Update buf beta price with the latest pricing information.

v1.20.0 - 2023-05-30

  • Add --emit-defaults flag to buf curl to emit default values in JSON-encoded responses.
  • Indent JSON-encoded responses from buf curl by default.
  • Log a warning in case an import statement does not point to a file in the module, a file in a direct dependency, or a well-known type file.

v1.19.0 - 2023-05-17

  • Add --create flag to buf push to create a repository if it does not exist. The user is also required to specify the visibility using --create-visibility.
  • Add github-actions error format to print errors in a form parseable by GitHub Actions.
  • Fix issue in buf build and buf generate where the use of type filtering (via --type flags) would cause the resulting image to have no source code info, even when --exclude-source-info was not specified. The main impact of the bug was that generated code would be missing comments.
  • Fix issue in buf curl when using --user or --netrc that would cause a malformed Authorization header to be sent.
  • Update the module cache to use an optimized content addressable store. The cache is now self-healing and uses significantly less space. Users wishing to free unused space can run buf mod --clear-cache once after upgrading to remove data stored in the previous module cache.

v1.18.0 - 2023-05-05

  • Remove buf beta registry {plugin,template} {deprecate,undeprecate}.
  • Add --user and --netrc flags to buf curl, providing the same behavior as the flags of the same name in the cURL tool.
  • Include DocumentationPath in the module on buf push.
  • Support fallback paths, README.md and README.markdown, for module documentation. The default source for module documentation is buf.md. If buf.md is missing, README.md or README.markdown is used as fallback sources.

v1.17.0 - 2023-04-05

  • Fix issue with JSON marshalling of errors where line and column fields were omitted when line and column information was empty.
  • Fix issue with MSVS marshalling of errors where the column could be 0.
  • Add buf beta stats command to print statistics about a given source or module.
  • Update buf beta price with the latest pricing information.

v1.16.0 - 2023-03-29

  • Add buf beta price command to help users of the BSR figure out how much a module will cost to store on the BSR under the Teams or Pro plans.
  • Fix issue in protoc-gen-buf-lint that prevented it from reporting lint errors for unused imports.
  • Fix issue with buf format where indents would be produced on certain empty lines.
  • Remove buf alpha registry token create command. Tokens must be created through the BSR UI.
  • Add local WASM plugin support in alpha, gated by the BUF_ALPHA_ENABLE_WASM environment variable. This feature is under evaluation, and may change at any time. If you are interested in WASM Protobuf plugins, reach out to us.

v1.15.1 - 2023-03-08

  • Fix bug in buf generate with v1beta1 config files.
  • Fix potential crash when using the --type flag with buf build or buf generate.

v1.15.0 - 2023-02-28

  • Update built-in Well-Known Types to Protobuf v22.0.
  • Fix bug in buf format where C-style block comments in which every line includes a prefix (usually "*") would be incorrectly indented.
  • Add --private-network flag to buf beta studio-agent to support handling CORS requests from Studio on private networks that set the Access-Control-Request-Private-Network header.

v1.14.0 - 2023-02-09

  • Replace buf generate --include-types with buf generate --type for consistency. --include-types is now deprecated but continues to work, consistent with our compatibility guarantee.
  • Include type references in google.protobuf.Any messages in option values when filtering on type, e.g. with buf build --type or buf generate --type.
  • Allow specifying a specific protoc path in buf.gen.yaml when using protoc's built-in plugins via the new protoc_path option.
  • Allow specifying arguments for local plugins in buf.gen.yaml. You can now do e.g. path: ["go, "run", ./cmd/protoc-gen-foo] in addition to path: protoc-gen-foo.
  • Add optional name parameter to buf mod init, e.g. buf mod init buf.build/owner/foobar.
  • Fix issue with php_metadata_namespace file option in managed mode.
  • Make all help documentation much clearer. If you notice any inconsistencies, let us know.

v1.13.1 - 2023-01-27

  • Fix race condition with buf generate when remote plugins from multiple BSR instances are being used at once.

v1.13.0 - 2023-01-26

  • Extend the BUF_TOKEN environment variable to accept tokens for multiple BSR instances. Both TOKEN and TOKEN1@BSRHOSTNAME1,TOKEN2@BSRHOSTNAME2,... are now valid values for BUF_TOKEN.
  • Remove buf beta convert in favor of the now-stable buf convert.

v1.12.0 - 2023-01-12

  • Add buf curl command to invoke RPCs via Connect, gRPC, or gRPC-Web
  • Introduce objc_class_prefix option in managed mode, allowing a default value for objc_class_prefix for all files, except and override, which both behave similarly to other except and override options. Specifying an empty default value is equivalent to having managed mode on in previous versions.
  • Introduce ruby_package option in managed mode, allowing except and override, in the same style as objc_class_prefix. Leaving ruby_package unspecified has the same effect as having mananged mode enabled in previous versions.

v1.11.0 - 2022-12-19

  • buf generate now batches remote plugin generation calls for improved performance.
  • Update optimize_for option in managed mode, allowing a default value for optimize_for for all files, except and override, which both behave similarly to other except and override options. Specifying an optimize_for value in the earlier versions is equivalent to having a optimize_for with that value as default.

v1.10.0 - 2022-12-07

  • When using managed mode, setting enabled: false now no longer fails buf generate and instead prints a warning log and ignores managed mode options.
  • Add csharp_namespace option to managed mode, allowing except, which excludes modules from managed mode, and override, which specifies csharp_namespace values per module, overriding the default value. By default, when managed mode is enabled, csharp_namespace is set to the package name with each package sub-name capitalized.
  • Promote buf convert to stable, keep buf beta convert aliased in the beta command.
  • Add Types filter to buf generate command to specify types (message, enum, service) that should be included in the image. When specified, the resulting image will only include descriptors to describe the requested types.

v1.9.0 - 2022-10-19

  • New compiler that is faster and uses less memory than the outgoing one.

    • When generating source code info, the new compiler is 20% faster, and allocates 13% less memory.
    • If not generating source code info, the new compiler is 50% faster and allocates 35% less memory.
    • In addition to allocating less memory through the course of a compilation, the new compiler releases some memory much earlier, allowing it to be garbage collected much sooner. This means that by the end of a very large compilation process, less than half as much memory is live/pinned to the heap, decreasing overall memory pressure.

    The new compiler also addresses a few bugs where Buf would accept proto sources that protoc would reject:

    • In proto3 files, field and enum names undergo a validation that they are sufficiently different so that there will be no conflicts in JSON names.
    • Fully-qualified names of elements (like a message, enum, or service) may not conflict with package names.
    • A oneof or extend block may not contain empty statements.
    • Package names may not be >= 512 characters in length or contain > 100 dots.
    • Nesting depth of messages may not be > 32.
    • Field types and method input/output types may not refer to synthetic map entry messages.

  • Push lint and breaking configuration to the registry.

  • Include LICENSE file in the module on buf push.

  • Formatter better edits/preserves whitespace around inline comments.

  • Formatter correctly indents multi-line block (C-style) comments.

  • Formatter now indents trailing comments at the end of an indented block body (including contents of message and array literals and elements in compact options) the same as the rest of the body (instead of out one level, like the closing punctuation).

  • Formatter uses a compact, single-line representation for array and message literals in option values that are sufficiently simple (single scalar element or field).

  • buf beta convert flags have changed from --input to --from and --output/-o to --to

  • fully qualified type names now must be parsed to the input argument and --type flag separately

v1.8.0 - 2022-09-14

  • Change default for --origin flag of buf beta studio-agent to https://studio.buf.build
  • Change default for --timeout flag of buf beta studio-agent to 0 (no timeout). Before it was 2m (the default for all the other buf commands).
  • Add support for experimental code generation with the plugin: key in buf.gen.yaml.
  • Preserve single quotes with buf format.
  • Support junit format errors with --error-format.

v1.7.0 - 2022-06-27

  • Support protocol and encoding client options based on content-type in Studio Agent.
  • Add --draft flag to buf push.
  • Add buf beta registry draft {list,delete} commands.

v1.6.0 - 2022-06-21

  • Fix issue where // buf:lint:ignore comment ignores did not work for the ENUM_FIRST_VALUE_ZERO rule.
  • Add buf beta studio-agent command to support the upcoming Buf Studio.

v1.5.0 - 2022-05-30

  • Upgrade to protoc 3.20.1 support.
  • Fix an issue where buf would fail if two or more roots contained a file with the same name, but with different file types (i.e. a regular file vs. a directory).
  • Fix check for PACKAGE_SERVICE_NO_DELETE to detect deleted services.
  • Remove buf beta registry track.
  • Remove buf beta registry branch.

v1.4.0 - 2022-04-21

  • Fix issue where duplicate synthetic oneofs (such as with proto3 maps or optional fields) did not result in a properly formed error.
  • Add buf beta registry repository update command which supports updating repository visibility (public vs private). As with all beta commands, this is likely to change in the future.

v1.3.1 - 2022-03-30

  • Allow --config flag to be set when targeting a module within a workspace.
  • Update buf format's file option order so that default file options are sorted before custom options.
  • Update buf format to write adjacent string literals across multiple lines.
  • Fix buf format so that the output directory (if any) is created if and only if the input is successfully formatted.

v1.3.0 - 2022-03-25

  • Add --exit-code flag to buf format to exit with a non-zero exit code if the files were not already formatted.

v1.2.1 - 2022-03-24

  • Fix a few formatting edge cases.

v1.2.0 - 2022-03-24

  • Add buf format command to format .proto files.
  • Fix build scripts to avoid using the command-line-arguments pseudo-package when building binaries and re-introduce checking for proper usage of private packages.

v1.1.1 - 2022-03-21

  • Remove check for proper usage of private packages due to a breaking change made in the Golang standard library in 1.18.

v1.1.0 - 2022-03-01

  • Add --type flag to the build command to create filtered images containing only the specified types and their required dependencies.
  • Trim spaces and new lines from user-supplied token for buf registry login.
  • Add support for conversion between JSON and binary serialized message for buf beta convert.

v1.0.0 - 2022-02-17

  • Check that the user provided a valid token when running buf registry login.
  • Add buf mod open that opens a module's homepage in a browser.
  • Add buf completion command to generate auto-completion scripts in commonly used shells.
  • Add --disable-symlinks flag to the breaking, build, export, generate, lint, ls-files, push commands. By default, the CLI will follow symlinks except on Windows, and this disables following symlinks.
  • Add --include-wkt flag to buf generate. When this flag is specified alongside --include-imports, this will result in the Well-Known Types being generated as well. Most language runtimes have the Well-Known Types included as part of the core library, making generating the Well-Known Types separately undesirable.
  • Remove buf protoc. This was a pre-v1.0 demonstration to show that buf compilation produces equivalent results to mainline protoc, however buf is working on building a better Protobuf future that provides easier mechanics than our former protoc-based world. buf protoc itself added no benefit over mainline protoc beyond being considerably faster and allowing parallel compilation. If protoc is required, move back to mainline protoc until you can upgrade to buf. See #915 for more details.
  • Context modifier no longer overrides an existing token on the context. This allows buf registry login to properly check the user provided token without the token being overridden by the CLI interceptor.
  • Removed the buf config init command in favor of buf mod init.
  • Removed the buf config ls-breaking-rules command in favor of buf mod ls-breaking-rules.
  • Removed the buf config ls-lint-rules command in favor of buf mod ls-lint-rules.
  • Removed the buf config migrate-v1beta1 command in favor of buf beta migrate-v1beta1.
  • Add buf beta decode command to decode message with provided image source and message type.
  • Disable --config flag for workspaces.
  • Move default config version from v1beta1 to v1.

v1.0.0-rc12 - 2022-02-01

  • Add default, except and override to java_package_prefix.
  • Add dependency commits as a part of the b3 digest.
  • Upgrade to protoc 3.19.4 support.
  • Remove branch field from buf.lock.

v1.0.0-rc11 - 2022-01-18

  • Upgrade to protoc 3.19.3 support.
  • Add PACKAGE_NO_IMPORT_CYCLE lint rule to detect package import cycles.
  • Add buf beta registry {plugin,template} {deprecate,undeprecate}.
  • Add warning when using enterprise dependencies without specifying a enterprise remote in the module's identity.
  • Remove digest, and created_at fields from the buf.lock. This will temporarily create a new commit when pushing the same contents to an existing repository, since the ModulePin has been reduced down.
  • Add --track flag to buf push
  • Update buf beta registry commit list to allow a track to be specified.
  • Add buf beta registry track {list,delete} commands.
  • Add manpages for buf.

v1.0.0-rc10 - 2021-12-16

  • Fix issue where remote references were not correctly cached.

v1.0.0-rc9 - 2021-12-15

  • Always set compiler_version parameter in the CodeGeneratorRequest to "(unknown)".
  • Fix issue where buf mod update was unable to resolve dependencies from different remotes.
  • Display the user-provided Buf Schema Registry remote, if specified, instead of the default within the buf login message.
  • Fix issue where buf generate fails when the same plugin was specified more than once in a single invocation.
  • Update the digest algorithm so that it encodes the name, lint, and breaking configuration encoded in the buf.yaml. When this change is deployed, users will observe the following:
    • Users on v0.43.0 or before will notice mismatched digest errors similar to the one described in #661.
    • Users on v0.44.0 or after will have their module cache invalidated, but it will repair itself automatically.
    • The buf.lock (across all versions) will reflect the new b3- digest values for new commits.

v1.0.0-rc8 - 2021-11-10

  • Add new endpoints to the recommendation service to make it configurable.
  • Add --exclude-path flag to buf breaking, buf build, buf export, buf generate, and buf lint commands. This allows users to exclude specific paths when running commands.
  • Change GetModulePackages endpoint to return a repeated ModulePackage message that now includes package description with the package name.
  • Add Oneof to the Message structure for documentation.

v1.0.0-rc7 - 2021-11-08

  • Upgrade to protoc 3.19.1 support.
  • Fix issue with buf generate where multiple insertion points are defined in the same file.

v1.0.0-rc6 - 2021-10-20

  • Fix issue with buf ls-files when given an image as an input, imports were being printed, even without the --include-imports flag.
  • Add the ability for users to provide individual protobuf files as inputs to CLI commands. This allows users to run buf commands against and file input based on their current working directory, for example, buf lint foo/bar.proto, where foo/bar.proto is a path to protobuf file on disk.

v1.0.0-rc5 - 2021-10-12

  • Add buf beta registry repository deprecate and buf beta registry repository undeprecate.
  • Support --include-imports for remote plugins.
  • Fix issue where buf config migrate-v1beta1 fails when files cannot be renamed.

v1.0.0-rc4 - 2021-10-07

  • Fix issue where buf generate could fail when used with large numbers of plugins and files on systems with low file limits.
  • Add buf protoc --version flag back. This was accidentally removed.
  • Upgrade to protoc 3.18.1 support.

v1.0.0-rc3 - 2021-10-04

  • Add --as-import-paths flag to ls-files that strips local directory paths and prints file paths as they are imported.
  • Fix issue where groups used in custom options did not result in the same behavior as protoc.
  • Fix issue where insertion points were not applied with respect to the configured output directory.

v1.0.0-rc2 - 2021-09-23

  • Add --include-imports flag to ls-files.
  • Upgrade to protoc 3.18.0 support.
  • Fix regression with git inputs using recurse_submodules=true.

v1.0.0-rc1 - 2021-09-15

This is our first v1.0 release candidate. This release largely concentrates on erroring for already-deprecated commands and flags.

At Buf, we take compatibility very seriously. When we say v1.0, we mean it - we hope buf will be stable on v1 for the next decade, and if there is something we want to change, it is our responsibility to make sure that we don't break you, not your responsibility to change because of us. We have learned a lot about buf usage in the last two years of our beta, and have deprecated flags and commands as we go, but for v1.0, we are removing the deprecated items to make sure we have a clean setup going forward.

All commands and flags have been printing warnings for a long time, and have an easy migration path. Simply update the command or flag, and you'll be good to go:

  • Removed the buf login command in favor of buf registry login.
  • Removed the buf logout command in favor of buf registry logout.
  • Removed the buf mod init command in favor of buf config init.
  • Removed the --name and --dep flags in buf config init.
  • Removed the --log-level global flag.
  • Moved the output of --version from stderr to stdout.
  • Moved the output of --help and help from stderr to stdout.
  • From v0.55.0: The version key in all configuration files (buf.yaml, buf.gen.yaml, buf.work.yaml) is now required.
  • From v0.45.0: Removed the buf beta config init command in favor of buf config init.
  • From v0.45.0: Removed the buf beta mod export command in favor of buf export.
  • From v0.45.0: Removed the buf beta mod init command in favor of buf config init.
  • From v0.45.0: Removed the buf beta mod update command in favor of buf mod update.
  • From v0.45.0: Removed the buf beta mod clear-cache command in favor of buf mod clear-cache.
  • From v0.45.0: Removed the buf beta push command in favor of buf push.
  • From v0.34.0: Removed the buf check breaking command in favor of buf breaking.
  • From v0.34.0: Removed the buf check lint command in favor of buf lint.
  • From v0.34.0: Removed the buf check ls-lint-checkers command in favor of buf config ls-lint-rules.
  • From v0.34.0: Removed the buf check ls-breaking-checkers command in favor of buf config ls-breaking-rules.
  • From v0.31.0: Removed the --file flag on buf build in favor of the --path flag.
  • From v0.31.0: Removed the --file flag on buf lint in favor of the --path flag.
  • From v0.31.0: Removed the --file flag on buf breaking in favor of the --path flag.
  • From v0.31.0: Removed the --file flag on buf generate in favor of the --path flag.
  • From v0.31.0: Removed the --file flag on buf export in favor of the --path flag.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the --source flag on buf build in favor of the first positional parameter.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the --source-config flag on buf build in favor of the --config flag.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the --input flag on buf lint in favor of the first positional parameter.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the --input-config flag on buf lint in favor of the --config flag.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the --input flag on buf breaking in favor of the first positional parameter.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the --input-config flag on buf breaking in favor of the --config flag.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the --against-input flag on buf breaking in favor of the --against flag.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the --against-input-config flag on buf breaking in favor of the --against-config flag.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the --input flag on buf generate in favor of the first positional parameter.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the --input-config flag on buf generate in favor of the --config flag.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the --input flag on buf ls-files in favor of the first positional parameter.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the --input-config flag on buf ls-files in favor of the --config flag.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the buf image build command in favor of buf build.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the buf image convert command.
  • From v0.29.0: Removed the buf beta image convert command.
  • From v0.23.0: Removed the buf experimental image convert command.
  • From v0.52.0 and v0.34.0: Complete deletion protoc-gen-buf-check-breaking and protoc-gen-buf-check-lint, which have been moved to protoc-gen-buf-breaking and protoc-gen-buf-lint.

In January 2021 (v0.34.0), protoc-gen-buf-check-breaking and protoc-gen-buf-check-lint were deprecated and scheduled for removal for v1.0. In August 2021 (v0.52.0), we began returning error for every invocation of protoc-gen-buf-check-breaking and protoc-gen-buf-check-lint. This release completes the deletion process.

The only migration necessary is to change your installation and invocation from protoc-gen-buf-check-breaking to protoc-gen-buf-breaking and protoc-gen-buf-check-lint to protoc-gen-buf-lint. These can be installed in the exact same manner, whether from GitHub Releases, Homebrew, AUR, or direct Go installation:

# instead of go get github.com/bufbuild/buf/cmd/protoc-gen-buf-check-breaking
go get github.com/bufbuild/buf/cmd/protoc-gen-buf-breaking
# instead of curl -sSL https://github.com/bufbuild/buf/releases/download/v0.57.0/protoc-gen-buf-check-breaking-Linux-x86_64
curl -sSL https://github.com/bufbuild/buf/releases/download/v0.57.0/protoc-gen-buf-breaking-Linux-x86_64

v0.56.0 - 2021-09-08

  • Cascade ENUM_ZERO_VALUE_SUFFIX comment ignores from the enum level.
  • Fix issue where buf generate --output was not being respected in 0.55.0.

v0.55.0 - 2021-09-07

  • Error if version: is not set in buf.yaml. This is one of the few breaking changes we must make before v1.0 to guarantee stability for the future. If you do not have a version set, simply add version: v1beta1 to the top of your buf.yaml.
  • Support BUF_TOKEN for authentication. buf will now look for a token in the BUF_TOKEN environment variable, falling back to .netrc as set via buf login.
  • Add support for using remote plugins with local source files.
  • Add per-file overrides for managed mode.
  • Fix issue with the module cache where multiple simultaneous downloads would result in a temporarily-corrupted cache.
  • Hide verbose messaing behind the --verbose (-v) flag.
  • Add --debug flag to print out debug logging.

v0.54.1 - 2021-08-30

  • Fix docker build.

v0.54.0 - 2021-08-30

  • Add windows support.
  • Add java_package_prefix support to managed mode.
  • Fix issue with C# namespaces in managed mode.
  • Fix issue where :main was appended for errors containing references to modules.

v0.53.0 - 2021-08-25

  • Fix issue where buf generate --include-imports would end up generating files for certain imports twice.
  • Error when both a buf.mod and buf.yaml are present. buf.mod was briefly used as the new default name for buf.yaml, but we've reverted back to buf.yaml.

v0.52.0 - 2021-08-19

Return error for all invocations of protoc-gen-buf-check-breaking and protoc-gen-buf-check-lint.

As one of the few changes buf will ever make, protoc-gen-buf-check-breaking and protoc-gen-buf-check-lint were deprecated and scheduled for removal for v1.0 in January 2021. In preparation for v1.0, instead of just printing out a message notifying users of this, these commands now return an error for every invocation and will be completely removed when v1.0 is released.

The only migration necessary is to change your installation and invocation from protoc-gen-buf-check-breaking to protoc-gen-buf-breaking and protoc-gen-buf-check-lint to protoc-gen-buf-lint. These can be installed in the exact same manner, whether from GitHub Releases, Homebrew, AUR, or direct Go installation:

There is no change in functionality.

v0.51.1 - 2021-08-16

  • Fix issue with git LFS where a remote must be set for fetch.

v0.51.0 - 2021-08-13

  • Accept packages of the form v\d+alpha and v\d+beta as packages with valid versions. These will be considered unstable packages for the purposes of linting and breaking change detection if ignore_unstable_packages is set.
  • Fix issue with git clones that occurred when using a previous reference of the current branch.

v0.50.0 - 2021-08-12

  • Add buf generate --include-imports that also generates all imports except for the Well-Known Types.
  • Fix issue where a deleted file within an unstable package that contained messages, enums, or services resulted in a breaking change failure if the PACKAGE category was used and ignore_unstable_packages was set.

v0.49.0 - 2021-08-10

  • Split FIELD_SAME_TYPE breaking change rule into FIELD_SAME_TYPE, FIELD_WIRE_COMPATIBLE_TYPE, FIELD_WIRE_JSON_COMPATIBLE_TYPE in v1. See #400 for details.

v0.48.0 - 2021-07-29

  • Add buf export. buf export will export the files from the specified input (default ".") to the given directory in a manner that is buildable by protoc without any -I flags. It also has options --exclude-imports, which excludes imports (and won't result in a buildable set of files), and --path, which filters to the specific paths.

v0.47.0 - 2021-07-29

  • Fix issue where C++ scoping rules were not properly enforced.
  • Add support for splitting directory paths passed to buf protoc -I by a directory separator.
  • Fix Windows support for builtin protoc plugins when using buf generate or buf protoc. Note that Windows remains officially unsupported as we have not set up testing, but largely works.
  • Upgrade to protoc 3.17.3 support.
  • Change the default module configuration location from buf.yaml to buf.mod. Note that buf.yaml continues to work.
  • Continued work on the workspaces beta, including the v1 configuration specification.
  • Continued work on the managed mode beta, including the v1 configuration specification.

  • Change the architecture suffix of the Linux ARM release assets from arm64 to aarch64 to match the output of uname -m on Linux.

v0.42.0 - 2021-05-20

  • Add managed mode in beta. This is a new feature that automatically sets file option values.
  • Add workspaces in beta. This is a new feature that allows multiple modules within the same directory structure.
  • Add arm64 releases.

v0.41.0 - 2021-04-01

  • Add MESSAGE_SAME_REQUIRED_FIELDS breaking change rule. This checks to make sure no required fields are added or deleted from existing messages.
  • Support multi-architecture Docker image.
  • Exit with code 100 for FileAnnotation errors.

  • Fix bug where authentication headers were not threaded through for certain Buf Schema Registry commands.
  • Fix issue where empty errors would incorrectly be wrapped by the CLI interceptor.
  • Update Buf module cache location to include remote.

v0.37.0 - 2021-02-09

  • Add commands for the Buf Schema Registry. Visit our website to add yourself to the waitlist.

v0.36.0 - 2021-01-18

Allows comment ignores of the form // buf:lint:ignore ID to be cascaded upwards for specific rules.

version: v1beta1
plugins:
  - name: foo
    out: out
    opt: foo=bar,baz,bat
version: v1beta1
plugins:
  - name: foo
    out: out
    opt:
      - foo=bar
      - baz
      - bat

v0.34.0 - 2021-01-04

  • Move buf check lint to buf lint.
  • Move buf check breaking to buf breaking.
  • Move buf check ls-lint-checkers to buf config ls-lint-rules.
  • Move buf check ls-breaking-checkers to buf config ls-breaking-rules.
  • Move protoc-gen-buf-check-lint to protoc-gen-buf-lint.
  • Move protoc-gen-buf-check-breaking to protoc-gen-buf-breaking.
  • Add buf beta config init.

All previous commands continue to work in a backwards-compatible manner, and the previous protoc-gen-buf-check-lint and protoc-gen-buf-check-breaking binaries continue to be available at the same paths, however deprecation messages are printed.

v0.33.0 - 2020-12-12

  • Add strategy option to buf.gen.yaml generation configuration. This allows selecting either plugin invocations with files on a per-directory basis, or plugin invocations with all files at once. See the generation documentation for more details.

v0.32.1 - 2020-12-10

  • Fix issue where SourceCodeInfo for map fields within nested messages could be dropped.
  • Fix issue where deleted files would cause a panic when breaking.ignore_unstable_packages = true.

v0.32.0 - 2020-11-24

  • Add symlink support for directory inputs. Symlinks will now be followed within your local directories when running buf commands.
  • Add the breaking.ignore_unstable_packages option to allow ignoring of unstable packages when running buf check breaking. See the documentation for more details.
  • Enums that use the allow_alias option that add new aliases to a given number will no longer be considered breaking by ENUM_VALUE_SAME_NAME. See the documentation for more details.

v0.31.1 - 2020-11-17

  • Fix issue where --experimental_allow_proto3_optional was not set when proxying to protoc for the builtin plugins via buf generate or buf protoc. This flag is now set for protoc versions >= 3.12.

v0.31.0 - 2020-11-16

  • Change the --file flag to --path and allow --path to take both files and directories, instead of just files with the old --file. This flag is used to filter the actual Protobuf files built under an input for most commands. You can now do for example buf generate --path proto/foo to only generate stubs for the files under proto/foo. Note that the --file flag continues to work, but prints a deprecation message.

v0.30.1 - 2020-11-12

  • Relax validation of response file names from protoc plugins, so that when possible, plugins that are not compliant with the plugin specification are still usable with buf generate.

v0.30.0 - 2020-11-03

  • Add git:// protocol handling.

v0.29.0 - 2020-10-30

As we work towards v1.0, we are cleaning up the CLI UX. As part of this, we made the following changes:

  • buf image build has been moved to buf build and now accepts images as inputs.
  • buf beta image convert has been deleted, as buf build now covers this functionality.
  • The -o flag is no longer required for buf build, instead defaulting to the OS equivalent of /dev/null.
  • The --source flag on buf build has been deprecated in favor of passing the input as the first argument.
  • The --source-config flag on buf build has been moved to --config.
  • The --input flag on buf check lint has been deprecated in favor of passing the input as the first argument.
  • The --input-config flag on buf check lint has been moved to --config.
  • The --input flag on buf check breaking has been deprecated in favor of passing the input as the first argument.
  • The --input-config flag on buf check breaking has been moved to --config.
  • The --against-input flag on buf check breaking has been moved to --against.
  • The --against-input-config flag on buf check breaking has been moved to --against-config.
  • The --input flag on buf generate has been deprecated in favor of passing the input as the first argument.
  • The --input-config flag on buf generate has been moved to --config.
  • The --input flag on buf ls-files has been deprecated in favor of passing the input as the first argument.
  • The --input-config flag on buf ls-files has been moved to --config.

We feel these changes make using buf more natural. Examples:

# compile the files in the current directory
buf build
# equivalent to the default no-arg invocation
buf build .
# build the repository at https://github.com/foo/bar.git
buf build https://github.com/foo/bar.git
# lint the files in the proto directory
buf check lint proto
# check the files in the current directory against the files on the master branch for breaking changes
buf check breaking --against .git#branch=master
# check the files in the proto directory against the files in the proto directory on the master branch
buf check breaking proto --against .git#branch=master,subdir=proto

Note that existing commands and flags continue to work. While the deprecation messages will be printed, and we recommend migrating to the new invocations, your existing invocations have no change in functionality.

v0.28.0 - 2020-10-21

  • Add subdir option for archive and git Inputs. This allows placement of the buf.yaml configuration file in directories other than the base of your repository. You then can check against this subdirectory using, for example, buf check breaking --against-input https://github.com/foo/bar.git#subdir=proto.

v0.27.1 - 2020-10-16

  • Add depth input option when specifying git inputs with ref. This allows the user to configure the depth at which to clone the repository when looking for the ref. If specifying a ref, this defaults to 50. Otherwise, this defaults to 1.
  • Remove requirement for git branch or tag in inputs. This allows you to do i.e. buf check lint --input https://github.com/bufbuild/buf.git and it will automatically choose the default branch as an input.

v0.16.0 - 2020-06-02

v0.15.0 - 2020-05-31

  • Add opt-in comment-driven lint ignores via the allow_comment_ignores lint configuration option and buf:lint:ignore ID leading comment annotation (#73).

v0.14.0 - 2020-05-30

  • Add --file flag to buf image build to only add specific files and their imports to outputted images. To exclude imports, use --exclude-imports.
  • Add zip as a source format. Buf can now read zip files, either locally or remotely, for image building, linting, and breaking change detection.
  • Add zstd as a compression format. Buf can now read and write Image files that are compressed using zstandard, and can read tarballs compressed with zstandard.
  • Deprecated: The formats bingz, jsongz, targz are now deprecated. Instead, use format=bin,compression=gzip, format=json,compression=gzip, or format=tar,compression=gzip. The formats bingz, jsongz, targz will continue to work forever and will not be broken, but will print a deprecation warning and we recommend updating. Automatic file extension parsing continues to work the same as well.

v0.13.0 - 2020-05-17

  • Fix issue where comparing enum values for enums that have allow_alias set and duplicate enum values present resulted in a system error.

v0.4.0 - 2019-12-05

  • Change the breaking change detector to compare enum values on number instead of name. This also results in the ENUM_VALUE_SAME_NUMBER checker being replaced with the ENUM_VALUE_SAME_NAME checker, except this new checker is not in the WIRE category.

v0.3.0 - 2019-11-05
