v9.4.0
Version 9.4.0 of the agent adds Roda instrumentation, adds a new allow_all_headers configuration option to permit capturing all HTTP headers, introduces improved error tracking functionality by associating a transaction id with each error, and uses more reliable network timeout logic.
Feature: Add Roda instrumentation
Roda is a now an instrumented framework. The agent currently supports Roda versions 3.19.0+. PR#2144
Feature: New allow_all_headers configuration option
A new
allow_all_headersconfiguration option brings parity with the Node.js agent to capture all HTTP request headers.This configuration option:
- Defaults to
false - Is not compatible with high-security mode
- Requires Rack version 2 or higher (as does Ruby on Rails version 5 and above)
- Respects all existing behavior for the
attributes.includeandattributes.excludeconfiguration options - Captures the additional headers as attributes prefixed with
request.headers.
This work was done in response to a feature request submitted by community member @jamesarosen. Thank you very much, @jamesarosen! Issue#1029

Feature: Improved error tracking transaction linking
Errors tracked and sent to the New Relic errors inbox will now be associated with a transaction id to enable improved UI/UX associations between transactions and errors. PR#2035
Feature: Use Net::HTTP native timeout logic
In line with current Ruby best practices, make use of Net::HTTP's own timeout logic and avoid the use of
Timeout.timeout()when possible. The agent's data transmissions and cloud provider detection routines have been updated accordingly. PR#2147
