Most importantly, timestamp well-known types are properly translated into a datetime-like object with proto-plus.\r\n\r\nWhy now?\r\n\r\nThere are some breaking changes in the latest generated clients due to https://github.com/googleapis/gapic-generator-python/pull/595\r\n\r\n* https://github.com/googleapis/python-bigquery/pull/316/files#diff-daa390c4795c10c42d5e8cec48f5339c\r\n\r\nIf we need to make a breaking change for these changes, we might as well update the classes to support the latest versions.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/tswast","@type":"Person","name":"tswast"},"datePublished":"2020-10-12T17:39:49.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/319/python-bigquery/issues/319"}
