• A list of the open-source libraries, their versions, and licenses we're using for synthetic monitoring Node browser runtime.

Major changes

• Entity, EntityUpdate, and strings prefixed by Entity[0-9] are reserved for use by New Relic. We've updated data requirements and limits for custom event data to reflect this change.
• Our synthetic monitors support running as Mozilla Firefox. We've added information on how to use this in our manage your synthetic monitors NerdGraph tutorial and in several other places.

Minor changes

• We ended support of our partnership API in March 2023. We deleted several docs related to this API, but we're keeping introduction to Partnership API around to point you to how to use the NerdGraph API to do similar things.
• In Go agent configuration, fixed a minor error in the example code block for handling expected errors.
• Updated system requirements in forward your logs using the infrastructure agent to state that we support Debian version 11 (Bullseye) and 12 (Bookworm) and have dropped support for Debian version 9 (Stretch) and 10 (Buster). We've also dropped support for Windows Server 2012, following Microsoft's lead.
• In layerless instrumentation, fixed Python code related to importing the New Relic package into your code and adding custom events.
• In notification message templates, added some additional information about how to handle missing attributes in your message template.
• Added better Dockerfile examples to instrument your containerized function for Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, Ruby, and extension-only.
• Updated and added the following NrAiSignal attributes to our data dictionary: dataAccountId, earlyEventDropCount, fillOption, lateEventDropCount, removalCause, resetCause, slideBySeconds, and type.
• Updated the Dockerfile example in install PHP for Docker and other containers.
• The browser agent replaced page_action with generic_events and updated several docs to reflect this, such as addPageAction and finished.
