+## **Introduction to Key Changes**
+
+### **Announcements**
+1. **Go Version Support Changes**: Kitex's minimum declared Go version has been adjusted to Go1.20 and supports up to Go1.25
+   - Currently does not affect Go v1.18/v1.19 compilation, but after being declared for higher versions, subsequent versions will introduce features of higher versions
+
+### **New Features**
+1. **Generic Call: New v2 API Supporting Multi-Services and Streaming Calls**
+
+   The Thrift binary generic call API now provides v2 version, supporting multi-services and streaming calls. For detailed usage, see [Generic Call User Guide](/docs/kitex/tutorials/advanced-feature/generic-call/basic_usage)
+
+2. **Generic Call: Support for Unknown Service Handler**
+
+   Facilitates rapid development of streaming proxy, see [Proxy Application Development Guide](/docs/kitex/tutorials/advanced-feature/proxy_application_development) for details
+
+3. **Generic Call: Support for Server-Level JSON/Map Streaming Generic Calls**
+
+   See: [Generic Call User Guide](/docs/kitex/tutorials/advanced-feature/generic-call/basic_usage) for details
+
+4. **TTHeader Streaming: Support for ctx Cancel to Control Flow Lifecycle**
+
+   - Quickly terminate streaming calls, saving model resources
+   - Aligns with gRPC, for detailed usage see [Stream Lifecycle Control Best Practices](/docs/kitex/tutorials/basic-feature/streamx/StreamX_Lifecycle_Control)
+   - Supports Client actively invoking cancel to end streaming calls
+   - Supports Client sensing the ctx cancel signal of the current Handler and cascading to end streaming calls
+
+5. **Streaming Error Handling Optimization**
+
+   - Quickly address specific error scenarios, accelerate troubleshooting of cascade cancel link issues, see [Stream Error Handling Best Practices](/docs/kitex/tutorials/basic-feature/streamx/StreamX_Error_Handling) for details
+   - In cascade cancel scenarios, error description includes complete cancel link, quickly locating the first-hop service that actively cancels
+   - Error description includes specific error scenarios and corresponding unique error codes
+   - Unified and convenient cancel error handling method, eliminating the need for cumbersome string matching
+
+### **Feature/Experience Optimization**
+1. **Generic Client: Optimize Background Goroutine Startup Logic**
+
+   Starting from Kitex v0.13.0, a generic client supports both Ping-Pong and streaming calls, and uses the TTHeader Streaming protocol by default. Each generic client automatically starts a background goroutine to clean up idle connections for TTHeader Streaming.
+
+   If users previously used the generic client incorrectly (e.g., creating a generic client for each request), upgrading to Kitex v0.13.x would result in a large number of background goroutines being created, leading to goroutine leaks, even though streaming generics are not actually used.
+
+   The v0.15.1 version only creates background goroutines when streaming generalization is actually used.
+
+### **Code Generation Tool Kitex Tool**
+1. **Strict Enum Value Checking**
+
+   For scenarios where Thrift IDL defines enum value overflow, strict generation checks have been added, see [Kitex Tool Enum Type Checking Instructions](/docs/kitex/tutorials/code-gen/idl_enumeration_type) for details
+
+   This change will cause some products to fail to generate because correctness already has issues, posing a significant risk to the service!
+
+### **Special Change - Minor Services May Be Affected**
+> Interface Breaking Change that has no impact on 99.9% of users
+
+Kitex will ensure compatibility with normal usage patterns of internal users. However, individual users may have dependencies on definitions in the Kitex repository, and this version adjustment of Kitex will have an impact on these users.
+
+This version has made minor adjustments to non-standard usage of `remote.Message`, `rpcinfo.RPCInfo` or `generic.Generic` interfaces. If there are special usages, they need to be adjusted to conform to the new version's interface definition.

 ## Preface
 
-Unlike  RPC, stream errors can occur at any time during stream processing. For example, a server can return an error after sending multiple messages. However, once a stream has sent an error, it cannot send any more messages.

+description: "Kitex StreamX stream lifecycle control best practices, introducing how to use ctx cancel to control streaming call lifecycle."
+---
+
+## Background
+
+When directly interacting with the model layer through streaming, the caller needs to directly notify the model layer to stop responding in certain scenarios, thereby saving model resources.
+
+In large model application scenarios such as classic Chat, the entire chain uses streaming interfaces that need to be connected in series, requiring perception of end-user disconnection signals and quickly ending the entire chain.
+
+The above scenarios essentially require the upstream to be able to actively end streaming calls, often using ctx for control. When ctx is canceled, the Stream lifecycle will also end.
+
+Kitex gRPC and TTHeader Streaming both support the mechanism of controlling Stream lifecycle based on ctx cancel, and TTHeader Streaming optimizes error descriptions on the basis of gRPC, which can better handle problem diagnosis in cascade cancel scenarios.
+
+## TTHeader Streaming Supports Stream Lifecycle Control Based on ctx cancel
+
+**Kitex >= v0.15.1 supports this feature**
+
+### Upstream Actively Cancels Downstream
+
+Here we use ServerStreaming as an example. When the upstream receives a special response, it actively calls cancel() to end the downstream Stream lifecycle.
+
+#### Upstream - ServiceA
+
+```go
+// ctx generally comes from handler
+ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(ctx)
+defer cancel()
+cliSt, err := cli.InvokeStreaming(ctx, req)
+if err != nil {
+    // Log or perform other operations
+    return
+}
+
+for {
+    resp, err := cliSt.Recv(cliSt.Context())
+    if err != nil {
+        if err == io.EOF {
+            // Normal end
+            return
+        }
+        // Log or perform other operations
+        // Abnormal end
+        return
+    }
+    // Determine if it is a business-specific response, for example, a special flag is defined in resp to indicate end
+    if isBizSpecialResp(resp) {
+        // Cancel downstream Stream
+        cancel()
+        return
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### Downstream - ServiceB
+
+```go
+import (
+    "github.com/cloudwego/kitex/pkg/kerrors"
+)
+
+func (impl *ServiceImpl) InvokeStreaming(ctx context.Context, stream Service_InvokeStreamingServer) (err error) {
+    // Downstream continuously sends data, only for demonstration
+    for {
+        if err = stream.Send(ctx, resp); err != nil {
+            if errors.Is(kerrors.ErrStreamingCanceled, err) {
+                // Upstream cancel
+            }
+            // Log or perform other operations
+            return
+        }
+        time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+At this time, the downstream error description is:
+
+```
+[ttstream error, code=12007] [server-side stream] [canceled path: ServiceA] user code invoking stream RPC with context processed by context.WithCancel or context.WithTimeout, then invoking cancel() actively
+```
+
+The meaning of each part of the error description is as follows:
+
+| Error Description | Meaning | Notes |
+|-------------------|---------|-------|
+| [ttstream error, code=12007] | TTHeader Streaming error, error code 12007, corresponding to the scenario where upstream actively cancels | |
+| [server-side stream] | Indicates that the error is thrown by the Stream on the server side | |
+| [canceled path: ServiceA] | Indicates that ServiceA actively initiated cancel | |
+| user code invoking stream RPC with context processed by context.WithCancel or context.WithTimeout, then invoking cancel() actively | Specific error description | |

+description: "Kitex Tool enum type checking instructions, introducing the checking mechanism for Thrift IDL enum value overflow issues."
+---
+
+## Background: Enum int32 Overflow Issue
+
+In the Thrift protocol, enum types are actually passed as int32. If the Thrift IDL defines enum values that exceed the int32 range, they will overflow during transmission, and the peer cannot receive the correct value and cannot match the correct enum type.
+
+**The correctness already has issues, posing a significant risk to the service!!!**
+
+A common error writing is as follows: (treating enum values as similar to fixed-format error codes, actually overflowing as int32)
+
+```thrift
+enum MyEnum{
+    A = 3000000001000,
+    B = 3000000001001,
+    C = 3000000001002,
+}
+```
+
+## Tool Changes: Strict Correctness Checking
+
+Generally, Goland IDE will not prompt this Thrift syntax issue, but as long as it's written this way, using enums will definitely cause errors.
+
+Therefore, to ensure correctness and avoid risk hazards, Kitex Tool after v0.15.1 (Thriftgo v0.4.3) will check this enum scenario, and when encountering out-of-bounds, it will directly fail to generate and prompt the location:
+
+```
+[WARN] enum overflow: the value (3000000001000) of enum 'xxx/base.thrift MyEnum' exceeds the range of int32.
+Due to legacy implementation, thriftgo generates int64 for enums in Go code.
+However, during network, values undergo int64->int32->int64 conversion. Values outside int32 will overflow.
+Please adjust the enum value to fit within the int32 range [-2147483648, 2147483647].
+If you just want to define a very big constant, please use 'const i64 MyConst = xxx' instead.
+```
+
+This error message indicates that in the `xxx/base.thrift` file, the enum `3000000001000` of `MyEnum` overflows.
+
+## Solution: Correct Incorrect Enum Values
+
+The tool's error message will contain information about the incorrect enum value:
+
+```
+enum overflow: the value (3000000001000) of enum 'xxx/base.thrift MyEnum'
+```
+
+You need to find the problematic enum value according to the prompt and correct it to within the int32 range (-2147483648, 2147483647).
+
+If this IDL belongs to other public libraries, you can blame the file history and contact the corresponding classmate to modify it.
+
+**This interception check does not support skipping for now**
+
+## Indirect Impact of Dependency Introduction
+
+Sorry, if your IDL introduces illegally defined Enums from others, it will affect your product generation. To eliminate this wrong usage, unified failure handling is applied. Please contact the corresponding IDL definition classmates to modify it.
