Full Changelog: v1.18.0...v1.18.1

v1.18.0

🛑 Critical bug. Skip this release and upgrade to v1.18.1 instead.

Highlights

Comprehensive rework of Local Activity Worker implementation

• Local Activities now respect all the timeouts set on LocalActivityOptions.
• Lower ScheduleToStart latencies for Local Activities and a backpressure that prefers retries over new executions
• LocalActivityOptions got scheduleToStart timeout
• Bugfix for OpenTelemetry/OpenTracing incorrectly showing exaggerated scheduleToStart latency for Local Activities (#1573)

Spring Boot module

• Spring Boot 3 support
• *Options Customizer beans for fine-grained control over *Options instances used by Spring Boot
• Workers names based configuration to keep Task Queue names contained in the config only
• More wired WorkflowFactoryOptions and WorkerOptions properties
• Bugfixes for beans ordering (#1614) and test environment setup (#1622)

New WorkflowClient methods

• WorkflowClient#listExecutions for fetching and iterating through Workflow Executions based on Visibility Queries
• WorkflowClient#fetchHistory and WorkflowClient#streamHistory for retrieving Workflow history from the Server to be used in replay or for export.

New WorkflowInfo metadata available for Workflow code:

• WorkflowInfo#getHistoryLength()
• WorkflowInfo#getFirstExecutionRunId()
• WorkflowInfo#getOriginalExecutionRunId()

Bugfixes

• Query on a stub that was was used for start a workflow now follows chain of runIds (#1612)
• Failures happened in Signal methods are now treated the same way as failures in Workflow methods (#1616)

Migration note

Previously Local Activity Workers didn't respect startToClose and, in some cases, scheduleToClose timeouts.
Some users may have LocalActivityOptions configurations that don't accommodate their actual timings but previously were unenforced.
The enforcement will kick in after an upgrade on v1.18+ and may lead to Local Activity failures that were not happening before.
Users may need to test and adjust their LocalActivityOptions timeouts before rolling out v1.18+ to production.

Spring Boot: org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext.start lifecycle method needs to be called for workers to auto-start.
