Release v1.21.1
This is the 1.21.1 patch release of gRPC Core. This patch is for gRPC-Python only. gRPC Python pkgs for 1.21.0 release could not be uploaded to PyPi due to the issue 19105.
Notable changes:
- Eliminate grpcio package dependency on protobuf package
- A new grpc.Channel.close method is introduced and correct use of
gRPC Python now requires that channels be closed after use.
- Python errors have become more verbose.
- GRPC_ENABLE_FORK_SUPPORT=false is no longer required when running
fork-exec.
- Relying on an explicit with statement or explicitly calling
Channel.close to release the underlying resources in Channel objects
is now a required coding practice starting in v1.13.0.
