Important: This release officially adds .NET Core 3.0 support.

Changes in this release:

• Installation
  • Simplify MSI installation process so that 32-bit machines install the x86 MSI and 64-bit machines install the x64 MSI. The x64 MSI will install both the 32-bit profiler and the 64-bit profiler. (#521)
• CLR profiler
  • Use the AppDomain.ResolveAssembly event to load the managed profiler assemblies. (#505)
  • After setting the environment variable DD_DOTNET_TRACER_HOME, applications are no longer required to add a dependency on the Datadog.Trace.ClrProfiler.Managed NuGet package, unless they require the AspNet integration. (#505, #522)
  • Improve the reliability of the automatic instrumentation across different AppDomain's in the same .NET application -- this applies to multiple applications running in the same IIS Application Pool. (#510)
• Integrations
  • ADO.NET: Automatically trace the following methods on DbCommand and SqlCommand calls (#516, #507). Addresses issue #223.
    • ExecuteReader()

  • Fix the auto-injection of correlation identifiers (traceId/spanId) to emit them as string values. (#528)
  • Improve the framework description used for internal analytics. (#519)
  • Modify Tracer to perform logging that is completely isolated from the main application logging and vendor Serilog for the logging library (#512)
• Build cleanup
  • Run the integration tests on both .NET Core 2.1 and .NET Core 3.0 environments. (#520)
