Release Notes

v0.56.0rc1

Prelude

The v0.5 trace API version has been made available and can be selected via the newly introduced DD_TRACE_API_VERSION environment variable by setting DD_TRACE_API_VERSION="v0.5". This newer API version generates smaller payloads, thus increasing the trace throughput to the Datadog agent, for better performance.

New Features

• Added the DD_TRACE_API_VERSION environment variable for requesting a specific trace API version.

Upgrade Notes

• The aredis integration is now enabled by default.

Deprecation Notes

• The contents of monkey.py have been moved into _monkey.py in an effort to internalize the module. Public methods have been imported back into monkey.py in order to retain compatibility, but monkey.py will be removed entirely in version 1.0.0.

Bug Fixes

• Set the correct package name in the Pyramid instrumentation. This should fix an issue where the incorrect package name was being used which would crash the application when trying to do relative imports within Pyramid (e.g. when including routes from a relative path).
