Strawberry GraphQL @ 0.285.0

Released November 10, 2025 at 10:31 PM GMT+00:00

This release removes support for Apollo Federation v1 and improves Federation v2 support with explicit version control and new directives.

Breaking Changes

• Removed support for Apollo Federation v1: All schemas now use Federation v2
• Removed enable_federation_2 parameter: Replaced with federation_version parameter
• Federation v2 is now always enabled with version 2.11 as the default

Migration

If you were using enable_federation_2=True

Remove the parameter:

# Before
schema = strawberry.federation.Schema(query=Query, enable_federation_2=True)
 
# After
schema = strawberry.federation.Schema(query=Query)

If you were using Federation v1

You must migrate to Federation v2. See the breaking changes documentation for detailed migration instructions.

New Features

• Version control: Specify Federation v2 versions (2.0 - 2.11):

schema = strawberry.federation.Schema(
    query=Query, federation_version="2.5"  # Specify a specific version if needed
)

• New directives: Added support for @context , @fromContext , @cost , and @listSize directives (v2.7+)
• Automatic validation: Ensures directives are compatible with your chosen federation version
• Improved performance: Faster version parsing using dictionary lookups
