Dear hakkers,

Changes since 1.0.x
Akka gRPC 1.1.0 requires Akka 2.6.x and Akka HTTP 10.2.x.
This release introduces a new, experimental client backend powered by Akka-HTTP. The default backend is still the classic client implemented using grpc-java which is based on Netty. You can enable the new backend using akka.grpc.client."*".backend="akka-http". The Akka-HTTP backend for gRPC is built using the Akka HTTP client support for HTTP/2 introduced in Akka HTTP 10.2.3. The Akka-HTTP backend for Akka gRPC client is released as a preview and the recommendation for general purpose usage is still the existing, netty-based backend.
