gRPC
v1.81.0Networking & MessaginggRPC v1.81.0 drops Python 3.9 and Ruby 3.1 support, fixes crash-level races on Windows and ARM, and adds AsyncIO observability for Python.
breakingPython 3.9 support dropped — check your runtime
gRPC Python 1.81.0 drops Python 3.9 support. If your services still run on Python 3.9, stay on an older gRPC release until you can upgrade your runtime. Plan the Python version bump before pulling this release.
breakingRuby 3.1 support dropped — upgrade your Ruby runtime
Ruby 3.1 has reached EOL and gRPC 1.81.0 drops support for it. If you're running Ruby 3.1 in production with gRPC, you'll need to upgrade to Ruby 3.2+ before adopting this release.
enhancementWindows and ARM stability fixes worth taking
Two EventEngine fixes address a use-after-free and a race condition causing assertion errors on Windows, plus a completion queue shutdown race on ARM (weak memory model). If you run gRPC on Windows or ARM-based infrastructure, this release directly fixes stability issues that could cause crashes. Upgrade when stable.
