Bump Akka.Cluster.Hosting from 1.5.42 to 1.5.65

[dependabot]

Updated Akka.Cluster.Hosting from 1.5.42 to 1.5.65.

Release notes

Sourced from Akka.Cluster.Hosting's releases.

1.5.65

1.5.65 April 10th 2026

Updates

• Bump Akka version from 1.5.64 to 1.5.65

1.5.64

1.5.64 March 31st 2026

Bug Fixes

• Fix LoggerFactoryLogger metadata regression for non-semantic logs - PR #​706 (trace correlation) accidentally gated ActorPath, LogSource, Timestamp, and Thread emission on _hasSemanticProperties, which was false for plain-string logs. Non-semantic logs lost all structured metadata, breaking downstream consumers such as Datadog pipelines and custom ConsoleFormatters. All log paths now emit the full set of Akka metadata as structured attributes regardless of whether the message uses named placeholders.

Breaking Changes

• Convert Akka.Hosting.TestKit to xUnit 3 - Akka.Hosting.TestKit now targets xUnit v3. Users who need to remain on xUnit v2 can switch to the new Akka.Hosting.TestKit.Xunit2 package, which preserves the previous xUnit v2-based TestKit API.

Updates

• Bump Akka version from 1.5.63 to 1.5.64

1.5.63

1.5.63 March 24th 2026

Bug Fixes

• Fix ActorRegistry.TryGet caching stale IActorRef values - ActorRegistry.TryGet was caching the internal IActorRef on first call.

Updates

• Bump Akka version from 1.5.62 to 1.5.63

1.5.62

1.5.62 March 4th 2026

Updates

• Bump Akka version from 1.5.61 to 1.5.62

1.5.61 February 26th 2026

Updates

• Bump Akka version from 1.5.60 to 1.5.61

1.5.60 February 10th 2026

New Features

• Add OpenTelemetry trace correlation support for LoggerFactoryLogger - enables proper trace correlation for logs emitted from actor code. Solves the problem that Activity.Current doesn't flow across actor mailbox boundaries because it uses AsyncLocal<T>. When using Akka.NET 1.5.59+, LogEvent.ActivityContext captures trace context at log creation time and flows it through to OpenTelemetry LogRecords via the new AkkaTraceContextProcessor. Register with options.AddAkkaTraceCorrelation() in your OpenTelemetry logging configuration.
• Add WithContext() integration tests for MEL logger - confirmed that Akka.NET 1.5.60's WithContext() logging context enrichment works automatically with LoggerFactoryLogger. Context properties set via the core WithContext() API flow through to Microsoft.Extensions.Logging state dictionaries via TryGetProperties() without any code changes needed.

Bug Fixes

• Fix WithDefaultLogMessageFormatter<T>() rejecting built-in formatters - SemanticLogMessageFormatter and DefaultLogMessageFormatter have private constructors (they use singleton Instance properties), but the validation only accepted public parameterless constructors. These built-in types are now correctly accepted.

Deprecations

• WithDefaultLogMessageFormatter<T>() is now marked [Obsolete] — SemanticLogMessageFormatter is the default as of Akka.NET 1.5.58 and no longer needs to be set explicitly. The method still works for custom ILogMessageFormatter implementations.

Updates

• Bump Akka version from 1.5.59 to 1.5.60

1.5.60-beta1 January 29th 2026

Beta Release

This is a beta release for testing the OpenTelemetry trace correlation feature that was merged after 1.5.59.

1.5.59 January 2026

New Features

• Add OpenTelemetry trace correlation support for LoggerFactoryLogger - enables proper trace correlation for logs emitted from actor code.

When using Akka.NET 1.5.59+, LogEvent.ActivityContext captures trace context at log creation time and flows it through to OpenTelemetry LogRecords via the new AkkaTraceContextProcessor. Register with options.AddAkkaTraceCorrelation() in your OpenTelemetry logging configuration.

Bug Fixes

• Fix semantic logging not capturing named placeholders as structured properties - resolved issue #​701 where named placeholders like {Event} in log messages were not captured as searchable structured properties. Made all LoggerConfigBuilder properties optional and refactored message formatting code.
• Fix TestKit startup timeout race condition - resolved race condition in TestKit.InitializeAsync() where CancellationTokenSource.Register() threw exceptions on the timer thread, causing unhandled exceptions that crashed the test host process. Also increased default startup timeout from 10s to 30s for CI environments.

Updates

• Bump Akka version from 1.5.58 to 1.5.59
• Added OpenTelemetry package dependency (1.9.0+) for trace correlation support

• Fix event adapter callback API not invoking adapters at runtime - resolved critical bug where event adapters configured via the callback API were not being invoked at runtime. This fix is especially important for users who have migrated to the callback pattern following the deprecation of JournalOptions.Adapters property. The issue was caused by unnecessary fallback configuration that interfered with adapter registration during HOCON merging.

Updates

• Add SSL/TLS configuration settings from Akka.NET 1.5.52 and 1.5.53 - updated SSL/TLS configuration options to support new features and settings introduced in Akka.NET versions 1.5.52 and 1.5.53
• Bump Akka version from 1.5.52 to 1.5.53

1.5.52 October 9th 2025

API Changes

• Deprecate JournalOptions.Adapters property in favor of callback API - resolved issue #​665 by deprecating the JournalOptions.Adapters property. Users should migrate to the unified callback pattern: builder.WithJournal(options, journal => journal.AddWriteEventAdapter<T>(...)). The deprecated property will be removed in v1.6.0.

Updates

• Bump Akka version from 1.5.51 to 1.5.52

1.5.51.1 October 2nd 2025

Bug Fixes

• Fix journal health check registration without event adapters - resolved issue #​666 where journal health checks were not being registered when using .WithHealthCheck() without adding event adapters

New Features

• Support custom health check registrations on Journal and Snapshot Builders - added API to support custom health check registrations for Akka.Persistence plugins, related to issue #​678

Enhancements

• Add customizable tags parameter to health check methods - resolved issue #​679 by adding new overload allowing custom tags for health checks while maintaining backward compatibility
• Made it easier to customize failureState and tags for all health checks - simplified health check configuration API for all health checks

Introduces new health check functionality and completey replaces Akka.HealthChecks

Problems with Akka.HealthChecks

There are a few major problems with Akka.HealthChecks:

1. Hair triggers that can inadvertently nuke an otherwise functioning Akka.NET cluster: see Relaxing Akka.Persistence.HealthCheck akkadotnet-healthcheck#278 and Rewrite Cluster health checks akkadotnet-healthcheck#237 - we have had to do constant firefighting to get these right over the years. The fundamental problem is that Akka.HealthChecks tries to do too much and doesn't give the underlying systems time to recover, resulting in wild swings in availability. The new design approaches these things much more carefully and, generally, tries to use fewer, more meaningful health checks.
2. Clunky and awkward to configure - you have to configure health checks in three places, you have to install several different NuGet packages, and there are a lot of settings + moving parts involved. A lot of this is legacy baggage from before Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.HealthChecks existed.
3. Difficult to customize - writing custom health checks with Akka.HealthCheck is... arduous, to say the least.

How This Feature Solves Them

1. No additional packages - Akka.Hosting now takes a direct dependency on Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.HealthChecks and exposes APIs for configuring Akka.NET-specific health checks that will be registered with the HealthCheckService.
2. Automatic registration of health checks with HealthCheckService - if you call any of the WithHealthCheck overloads on the AkkaConfigurationBuilder, those types will automatically be registered with the Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.HealthChecks.HealthCheckService and they will "just work." No additional API calls required - happens automatically.
3. Automatic health checks for core Akka and Akka.Cluster - we ship with two built in checks out of the box: an ActorSystem liveness check - if it's dead, the check fails. And an Akka.Cluster "have we joined the cluster yet?" readiness check.

These are not enabled by default - you have to opt-in to turning them on.

You can see what the outputs of this look like by running:

dotnet run --project src/Examples/Akka.Hosting.Asp.LoggingDemo/Akka.Hosting.Asp.LoggingDemo.csproj

This will expose the output of both of these healthchecks as pretty-printed JSON at http://localhost:5000/healthz
