PHP agent release notesRSS

Notes

• Fix a segfault that could occur when the daemon was unable to bind to its listening socket during startup. The watcher process would then attempt to spawn a new daemon process leading to another segfault creating a loop. This loop would then cause the daemon log file to grow indefinitely. All customers are encouraged to upgrade.

Notes

• We've added support for Symfony 2. Symfony 2 controller names will now show up in the web transactions view. This is an intermediate step leading up towards future Drupal 8 support.
• We have improved Zend Framework 1 transaction naming in order to reduce instances of metric grouping issues.
• We have tidied up our code for handling slow SQL statements.

Notes

• Transaction traces containing many consecutive calls to curl_multi_exec will now show the cumulative time as a single node. Previously the transaction trace would show one node for each call.
• We fixed segmentation faults when restarting Apache on Darwin and FreeBSD.
• We corrected an issue in the newest Debian-based Linux distributions that prevented the newrelic.ini file from being installed properly.
• A warning message is put in the agent log when newrelic_name_transaction() fails.

Notes

• Support for histograms and percentiles
• PHP 5.5 support added
• PHP 5.1 deprecated
• Various bug fixes and stability improvements.

Notes

Support for two additional external calls has been added to cross application tracing.

• Zend_Http_Client::request()
• drupal_http_request()

Notes

• Preliminary support for Cross Application Tracing has been added. The following external calls are supported.
  • curl_exec()
  • file_get_contents()
  • httprequest::send()
• Communication between the agent and the daemon process has been improved, fixing a rare issue that could affect data quality.
• Fixes a rare issue where too many daemon processes could be launched.
• Various bug fixes and stability improvements.

Notes

• Magento transaction naming has been refined
• MySQL errors will now be recorded properly under PHP 5.1
• Request queue timing can be specified with X-Request-Start as well as HTTP_X_REQUEST_START
• Other small bugfixes

Notes

• Data uploads to the New Relic collectors now default to SSL. SSL can be disabled through the configuration file.
