### Release Notes

<details>
<summary>grpc/grpc-java (io.grpc:grpc-core)</summary>

###
[`v1.68.1`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/releases/tag/v1.68.1)

##### gRPC Java 1.68.1 Release Notes

v1.68.0 was a mistake. This is the first release of version 1.68.x

##### Bug Fixes

- xds: Fix NullPointerException introduced in "Fix load reporting when
pick first is used for locality-routing"
([#&#8203;11553](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/11553)).
This was in 1.67.1 but not 1.68.0

##### Behavior Changes

- core: JSON parsing rejects duplicate keys in objects
([#&#8203;11575](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/11575))
([`4be69e3`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/4be69e3f8)).
This is the existing behavior in C core. Duplicate keys in objects are
dangerous as which value takes effect is undefined. Previously, the last
value was used
- okhttp: Detect transport executors with no remaining threads
([#&#8203;11503](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/11503))
([`3a6be9c`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/3a6be9ca1)).
The transport uses two threads, but one is on-demand. If the executor
provided to `builder.transportExecutor()` runs out of threads (e.g., it
is a fixed-size thread pool), *all* transports can be wedged, unable to
run on-demand tasks, until keepalive kills one of them. Two threads are
now used when handshaking a new transport, and the transport will time
out after 1 second with “Timed out waiting for second handshake thread”
if two threads are unavailable
- gcp-csm-o11y: Get `mesh_id` value from `CSM_MESH_ID` environment
variable, instead of getting it from bootstrap file
([`84d30af`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/84d30afad))

##### Improvements

- New grpc-context-override-opentelemetry artifact
([#&#8203;11523](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/11523))
([`782a44a`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/782a44ad6))
([#&#8203;11599](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/11599))
([`e59ae5f`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/e59ae5fad)).
This is a `io.grpc.Context` storage override to store its state in
`io.opentelemetry.context.Context`. Libraries should not add a
dependency on this artifact, as applications can only have one storage
override in their classpath
- New grpc-s2a artifact. It is a transport that offloads the handshake
similar to ALTS, but for TLS. It provides
`io.grpc.s2a.S2AChannelCredentials`
- api: Enhance name resolver \`ResolutionResult\` to hold addresses or
error so the single listener API *onResult2* is used to convey both
success and error cases for name resolution
([#&#8203;11330](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/11330))
([`1ded8af`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/1ded8aff8))
- core: Handle NameResolver/LoadBalancer exceptions when panicking
([`b692b9d`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/b692b9d26)).
This expands the class of bugs that will fail RPCs with the panic error,
versus some undefined behavior
- core: Use the default service config in case of initial name resolver
address resolution error
([#&#8203;11577](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/11577))
([`fa26a8b`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/fa26a8bc5))
- core: `StreamTracer.inboundMessageRead()` now reports uncompressed
message size when the message does not need compression
([#&#8203;11598](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/11598))
([`2aae68e`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/2aae68e11)).
Previously it always reported `-1` (unknown)
- netty: Avoid TCP_USER_TIMEOUT warning when explicitly specifying a
non-epoll channel type to use
([#&#8203;11564](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/11564))
([`62f4098`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/62f409810))
- okhttp: Don't warn about missing Conscrypt
([`6f35422`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/6f3542297)).
This is especially helpful when using TLS but not running on Android
- android: For `UdsChannelBuilder`, use fake IP instead of localhost
([`a908b5e`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/a908b5e40)).
This avoids an unnecessary DNS lookup
- xds: Add xDS node ID in select control plane errors to enable
cross-referencing with control plane logs when debugging
([`f3cf7c3`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/f3cf7c3c7))
- xds: Enhanced how ADS stream terminations are handled, specifically
addressing cases where a response has or hasn't been received
(#&#8203;2e9c3e19f)
- binder: Update status code documentation for Android 11's package
visibility rules.
([#&#8203;11551](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/11551))
([`99be6e9`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/99be6e985))
- binder: Update binderDied() error description to spell out the
possibilities for those unfamiliar with Android internals.
([#&#8203;11628](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/11628))
([`46c1b38`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/46c1b387f))
- example-gauth: Use application default creds instead of file argument
([#&#8203;11595](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/11595))
([`94a0a0d`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/94a0a0d1c))

##### Dependencies

- Updated protobuf-java to 3.25.5. This helps avoid CVE-2024-7254
([`2ff837a`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/commit/2ff837ab6))

###
[`v1.68.0`](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/releases/tag/v1.68.0):
MISTAKE

This was supposed to be v1.67.0, but there was a mistake during the
release process. This has everything in v1.67.1, *except* for:

- xds: Fix NullPointerException introduced in "Fix load reporting when
pick first is used for locality-routing"
([https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/pull/11553](https://redirect.github.com/grpc/grpc-java/pull/11553))
