I had understood though that I can compile the "api" against my protobuf, but that seemed like another step to take. Doesn't it make sense as a suggestion that the provided API is working out-of-the-box with the latest packages?
Then we would have to constantly update the repository. It might also break compatibility for users that still use the older version of protobuf. That is the reason why we included proto file to the repository. It allows users to generate the code for desired language based on components version in their environment.
You can find link to the overview of protobuf in README included in the API - https://protobuf.dev/overview/. It will give you more details about the protobuf itself and how it works.
Ah, I see. I thought it was a one time change (something broke something else in the update). Thanks for explaining it to me.
