Go agent v3.16.0

3.16.0

Added

• Distributed Tracing is now the default mode of operation. It may be disabled by user configuration if so desired. PR #495
  • To disable DT, add newrelic.ConfigDistributedTracerEnabled(false) to your application configuration.
  • To change the reservoir limit for how many span events are to be collected per harvest cycle from the default, add newrelic.ConfigDistributedTracerReservoirLimit(newlimit) to your application configuration.
  • The reservoir limit's default was increased from 1000 to 2000.
  • The maximum reservoir limit supported is 10,000.
• Note that Cross Application Tracing is now deprecated.
• Added support for gathering memory statistics via PhysicalMemoryBytes functions for OpenBSD.

Fixed

• Corrected some example code to be cleaner.
• Updated version of nats-streaming-server. PR #458
• Correction to nrpkgerrors so that nrpkgerrors.Wrap now checks if the error it is passed has attributes, and if it does, copies them into the New Relic error it creates. This fixes issue #409 via PR #441.
  • This increments the nrpkgerrors version to v1.1.0.

Support Statement

New Relic recommends that you upgrade the agent regularly to ensure that you’re getting the latest features and performance benefits. Additionally, older releases will no longer be supported when they reach end-of-life.
