Deprecations

    Python 3.6 is no longer supported by the agent. Please consider upgrading your application to a supported version of Python in order to continue to receive updates to the Python Agent.

New features

  • Add Daphne instrumentation

    Instrumentation has been added for Daphne, a Django project ASGI web server and the recommended server for Django Channels.

  • Add module version reporting

    Installed python packages now have their versions reported and are visible in the Environment tab for your application in New Relic One.

Bug fixes

  • Fix a bug in file path detection for Loguru

    Wrappers from the agent interfered with Loguru file path detection for templating messages. This has been corrected on all versions. Thank you to @rafaelclp for your contribution!
