Notes
This release of the Python agent drops support for Redis v3 and below and adds support for Google Cloud Firestore, async Redis, and fixes a crash that occurs when wrapping generators.
Install the agent using easy_install/pip/distribute via the Python Package Index or download it directly from the New Relic download site.
Deprecations
- Drop support for Redis v3 and below As of v8.10.0, Redis v3 and below are outside New Relic's supportability window and therefore no longer supported. Because Redis v4 and above no longer support Python 2.7, this means Python 2.7 support has been dropped from Redis as well.
Enhancements
Add support for Firestore Adds instrumentation support for Google Cloud Firestore.
Add support to Redis Async Adds instrumentation support for Redis' async features. Thanks, ahmedhr and bc291 for your contribution!
Automatic wrapping for async generators Existing tracing decorator APIs now support async generators out of the box.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a crash when consecutive calls to
throw()on wrapped generators Previously consecutive calls tothrow()would raise an exception rather than inject the exception into the wrapped generator.
Support statement
We recommend updating to the latest agent version as soon as it's available. If you can't upgrade to the latest version, update your agents to a version no more than 90 days old. Read more about keeping agents up to date.
