<a id="new-vtgate-streaming-sesion"/>VTGate GRPC stream execute session flag `--grpc-send-session-in-streaming`

This flag enables transaction support on StreamExecute api. One enabled, VTGate StreamExecute grpc api will send session as the last packet in the response. The client should enable it only when they have made the required changes to expect such a packet.

It is disabled by default from v17.0.3.

This was a breaking change when v17.0.0 was released was causing upgrade issue for client who relied on a certain behaviour of receiving streaming packets on `StreamExecute` call.

The entire changelog for this release can be found here.

The release includes 34 merged Pull Requests.
