 ## Unreleased
 
+- Clients created with `NewClientConn` (and the `NewInternalClient`/`NewExternalClient` helpers) receive messages up to `dgrpc.MaxResponseSize` (2 GiB − 1 byte, `math.MaxInt32`) instead of 1 GiB. Standard servers send messages up to `dgrpc.MaxResponseSize`, the same as the grpc-go default. Request limits (client send, server receive) are unchanged.
 - Add zstd support for connectrpc server
 - Remove connectrpc error middleware by default. You need to add it `connectrpc.NewErrorsInterceptor`
 - Added abiliy to map connectrpc error
