Go agent release notesRSS

3.25.1

Added

• Added support for the FastHTTP package:
  • Added newrelic.WrapHandleFuncFastHTTP() and newrelic.StartExternalSegmentFastHTTP() functions to instrument fasthttp context and create wrapped handlers. These functions work similarly to the existing ones for net/http.
  • Added client-fasthttp and server-fasthttp examples to help get started with FastHTTP integration.

Fixed

• Corrected a bug where the security agent failed to correctly parse the NEW_RELIC_SECURITY_AGENT_ENABLED environment variable.

Support statement

We use the latest version of the Go language. At minimum, you should be using no version of Go older than what is supported by the Go team themselves.

See the Go agent EOL Policy for details about supported versions of the Go agent and third-party components.

3.24.1

Fixed

• Performance improvement around calls to the security agent. In some cases, unnecessary setup operations were being performed even if there was no security agent present to use that. These are now conditional on the security agent being present in the application (note that this will enable the setup code if the security agent is present in the application, regardless of whether it’s currently enabled to run). This affects:
  • Base agent code (updated to v3.24.1)
  • nrmongo integration (updated to v1.1.1)
• Fixed unit tests for integrations that were failing because code-level metrics are enabled by default now:
  • nrawssdk-v1 (updated to v1.1.2)
  • nrawssdk-v2 (updated to v1.2.2)
  • nrecho-v3 (updated to v1.0.2)
  • nrecho-v4 (updated to v1.0.4)
  • nrhttprouter (updated to v1.3.0)
  • nrlambda (updated to v1.2.2)
  • nrnats (updated to v1.1.5)
  • nrredis-v8 (updated to v1.0.1)

Changed

• Updated all integration go.mod files to reflect supported Go language versions.
