Summary
In this release, Application Performance Monitoring (APM) adds support for Span Links (a highly requested feature!). This feature is currently supported within Datadog's OpenTelemetry API implementation.
The default trace context propagation order, which is used for traces in distributed workflows, will become datadog,tracecontext (previously it was tracecontext,datadog). This is not a breaking change, and customers should not experience any negative changes in behavior. If you experience any issues, please reach out to Datadog support.
Other APM features include out-of-the-box library integration support for github.com/jackc/pgx/v5 and the ability to ignore specific error types in the github.com/labstack/echo/v4 integration.
