Go agent release notesRSS

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.

• documentation
• example

Fixed tests for Go 1.8.

Added support for instrumenting short-lived processes:

• The new Application.Shutdown method allows applications to report data to New Relic without waiting a full minute.
• The new Application.WaitForConnection method allows your process to defer instrumentation until the application is connected and ready to gather data.
• Full documentation here: application.go
• Example short-lived process: examples/short-lived-process/main.go

Error metrics are no longer created when ErrorCollector.Enabled = false.

Added support for http://wwwgithub.com/mgutz/logxi. See https://github.com/newrelic/go-agent/blob/master/_integrations/nrlogxi/v1/nrlogxi.go.

Fixed bug where Transaction Trace thresholds based upon Apdex were not being applied to background transactions.
