Changelog History

• v20200923.2

  October 21, 2020

  Abseil LTS 20200923, Patch 2

  What's New:

  • 🚀 absl::StatusOr<T> has been released. See our blog
    post for more information.
  • 🚀 Abseil Flags reflection interfaces have been released.
  • ⚡️ Abseil Flags memory usage has been significantly optimized.
  • 🏗 Abseil now supports a "hardened" build mode. This build mode enables
    ⚙ runtime checks that guard against programming errors that may lead
    🔒 to security vulnerabilities.

  🛠 Notable Fixes:

  • Sanitizer dynamic annotations like AnnotateRWLockCreate that are
    also defined by the compiler sanitizer implementation are no longer
    also defined by Abseil.
  • 🛠 Sanitizer macros are now prefixed with ABSL_ to avoid naming collisions.
  • Sanitizer usage is now automatically detected and no longer requires
    💻 macros like ADDRESS_SANITIZER to be defined on the command line.

  💥 Breaking Changes:

  • Abseil no longer contains a dynamic_annotations library. Users
    👷 using a supported build system (Bazel or CMake) are unaffected by
    this, but users manually specifying link libraries may get an error
    about a missing linker input.

  Baseline: 7680a5f
  Cherry pick: bd0de71 (Patch 1)
  Cherry pick: 0f3bb46 (Patch 2)
