## v1.6.1

BUGS:

* Suppress spurious `os.ErrClosed` on plugin shutdown [[GH-299](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/299)]

ENHANCEMENTS:

* deps: bump google.golang.org/grpc to v1.58.3 [[GH-296](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/296)]

## v1.6.0

CHANGES:

* plugin: Plugins written in other languages can optionally start to advertise whether they support gRPC broker multiplexing.
  If the environment variable `PLUGIN_MULTIPLEX_GRPC` is set, it is safe to include a seventh field containing a boolean 
  value in the `|`-separated protocol negotiation line.

ENHANCEMENTS:

* Support muxing gRPC broker connections over a single listener [[GH-288](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/288)]
* client: Configurable buffer size for reading plugin log lines [[GH-265](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/265)]
* Use `buf` for proto generation [[GH-286](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/286)]
* deps: bump golang.org/x/net to v0.17.0 [[GH-285](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/285)]
* deps: bump golang.org/x/sys to v0.13.0 [[GH-285](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/285)]
* deps: bump golang.org/x/text to v0.13.0 [[GH-285](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/285)]

## v1.5.2

client: New `UnixSocketConfig.TempDir` option allows setting the directory to use when creating plugin-specific Unix socket directories [[GH-282](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/282)]

## v1.5.1

BUGS:

* server: `PLUGIN_UNIX_SOCKET_DIR` is consistently used for gRPC broker sockets as well as the initial socket [[GH-277](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/277)]

ENHANCEMENTS:

* client: New `UnixSocketConfig` option in `ClientConfig` to support making the client's Unix sockets group-writable [[GH-277](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/277)]

## v1.5.0

ENHANCEMENTS:

* client: New `runner.Runner` interface to support clients providing custom plugin command runner implementations [[GH-270](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/270)]
    * Accessible via new `ClientConfig` field `RunnerFunc`, which is mutually exclusive with `Cmd` and `Reattach`
    * Reattaching support via `ReattachConfig` field `ReattachFunc`
* client: New `ClientConfig` field `SkipHostEnv` allows omitting the client process' own environment variables from the plugin command's environment [[GH-270](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/270)]
* client: Add `ID()` method to `Client` for retrieving the pid or other unique ID of a running plugin [[GH-272](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/272)]
* server: Support setting the directory to create Unix sockets in with the env var `PLUGIN_UNIX_SOCKET_DIR` [[GH-270](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/270)]
* server: Support setting group write permission and a custom group name or gid owner with the env var `PLUGIN_UNIX_SOCKET_GROUP` [[GH-270](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/pull/270)]
