 ## 0.36.0
 
+### The gRPC `cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.CompileRequest.export_binaries` changed type.
+
+Previously the field `export_binaries` was a `google.protobuf.BoolValue`. We used this type because it expresses this
+field's optional nature (that is, it could be `true`, `false`, and `null` if not set).
+
+Now the field is an `optional bool`, since the latest protobuf protocol changes now allows optional fields.

 ### The gRPC `cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.UpdateIndexResponse` and `UpdateLibrariesIndexResponse` have changed.
