Go agent release notesRSS

The End() functions defined on the Segment, DatastoreSegment, and ExternalSegment types now receive the segment as a pointer, rather than as a value. This prevents unexpected behaviour when a call to End() is deferred before one or more fields are changed on the segment.

In practice, this is likely to only affect this pattern:

defer newrelic.DatastoreSegment{
  // ...
}.End()

Instead, you will now need to separate the literal from the deferred call:

ds := newrelic.DatastoreSegment{
  // ...
}
defer ds.End()

When creating custom and external segments, we recommend using newrelic.StartSegment() and newrelic.StartExternalSegment(), respectively.

Added GoDoc badge to README. Thanks to @mrhwick for the contribution!

Config.UseTLS configuration setting has been removed to increase security. TLS will now always be used in communication with New Relic Servers.

Added support for custom error messages and stack traces. Errors provided to Transaction.NoticeError will now be checked to see if they implement ErrorClasser and/or StackTracer. Thanks to @fgrosse for this proposal.

Added support for pkg/errors. Thanks to @fgrosse for this work.
