Async APIs This release adds new APIs for instrumenting asynchronous work. If your transactions have asynchronous work (such as database queries or external calls) that is not automatically monitored by the Java Agent, you can use the APIs to link that work to your transactions. For more information, see the documentation.
OkHttp 3.6 This release adds support for OkHttp 3.6.x. You will now see OkHttp 3.6 calls as external calls in New Relic.
