Release Notes

abseil/abseil-cpp (com_google_absl)

v20250814.0: Abseil LTS branch, August 2025

Compare Source

Abseil LTS 2025081.0

What's New:

  • absl::Mutex now contains lower-case method names like lock() and shared_lock() to align with standard C++ mutex methods. This allows absl::Mutex to be used with std::scoped_lock and friends. The old names are still present but may be removed in a future release.
  • The RAII Mutex-locker types like absl::MutexLock, absl::ReaderMutexLock, and friends now accept references to absl::Mutex. The pointer-accepting constructors are now deprecated, and may be removed in a future release.

Breaking Changes:

  • Nullability template types, which were deprecated in the May 2025 release, have been removed.
  • absl::string_view(nullptr), which is undefined behavior according to the C++ standard, now triggers an assert failure. Note that unless you changed absl/base/options.h, absl::string_view is an alias for std::string_view, so by default you will be inheriting the behavior of your standard library instead of using the Abseil implementation.
  • Abseil's hash tables now require a hash function that has a return type with size >= sizeof(size_t).

Known Issues

  • CHECK_<OP> is failing to compile on older versions of GCC when one of the arguments is a C-style string. This is fixed by ba9a180 and will be included in a future patch release.

v20250512.1: Abseil LTS branch, May 2025, Patch 1

Compare Source

Abseil LTS 2025051.1

What's New:

  • The polyfill types absl::any, absl::optional, and absl::variant are now aliases for std::any, std::optional, and std::variant in all builds. (Note that the polyfill implementation absl::string_view remains at the present time, but it defaults to being an alias std::string_view in all builds.)
  • Added absl::FastTypeId<Type>(), which evaluates at compile-time to a unique id for the passed-in type.
  • Added absl::endian and absl::byteswap polyfills (25bce12).

Breaking Changes:

  • Abseil now requires at least C++17 and follows Google's Foundational C++ Support Policy. See this table for a list of currently supported versions compilers, platforms, and build tools.
  • Nullability template types are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. The macro-style annotations (absl_nonnull, absl_nullable) should be used instead (caf854d).

Known Issues

  • None known at this time.

Baseline: bc257a8
Cherry-pick: 76bb243 (Patch 1)

v20250127.1: Abseil LTS branch, January 2025, Patch 1

Compare Source

Abseil LTS 2025012.1

What's New:

Breaking Changes:

  • Bazel BUILD files now reference repositories by their canonical names from the Bazel Central Registry. For example, Abseil is now @abseil-cpp instead of @com_google_absl, and GoogleTest is now @googletest instead of @com_google_googletest. Users still using the old WORKSPACE system may need to use repo_mapping on repositories that still use the old names. See 90a7ba6 for an example.

Abseil LTS 2024072.1

What's New:

  • Added GoogleTest matchers for absl::Status. These matchers make it easier to write unit tests for code that uses absl::Status.
  • Patch 1 addresses a security issue in hash container create/resize.

v20240116.3: Abseil LTS branch, Jan 2024, Patch 3

Compare Source

Abseil LTS 2024011.3

What's New:

  • Added absl::NoDestructor<T> to simplify defining static types that do not need to be destructed upon program exit.
  • Added configurable verbose logging (also known as VLOG).
  • Added absl::Overload(), which returns a functor that provides overloads based on the functors passed to it. Note that this functionality requires C++17 or newer.
  • Bzlmod is now officially supported (previously it was supported by the community). Note that it may take several days after the release for it to become available in the Bazel Central Registry.
  • Patch 3 addresses a security issue in hash container create/resize.

Breaking Changes:

  • AbslHashValue() no longer accepts C-style arrays as a parameter. Previously the array would decay to a pointer type, which could lead to subtle, unintended bugs. The most common potential error is passing a C-string literal. After this change, these call-sites require wrapping the literal in absl::string_view.
  • absl::weak_equality and absl::strong_equality have been removed. The corresponding std types were removed before C++20 was finalized (https://wg21.link/P1959R0).

Known Issues

  • None known at this time.
