elastic/apm-agent-java v1.0.0.RC1 on GitHub

Breaking changes

Remove intake v1 support. This version requires APM Server 6.5.0+ which supports the intake api v2.
Until the APM Server 6.5.0 is officially released, see this example docker-compose.yml file on how to set up the required services.
Wildcard patterns are case insensitive by default. Prepend (?-i) to make the matching case sensitive.

Support for Distributed Tracing
Adds @CaptureTransaction and @CaptureSpan annotations which let you declaratively add custom transactions and spans.
Note that it is required to configure the application_packages for this to work.
See the documentation for more information.
Capturing of Elasticsearch RestClient 5.0.2+ calls.
The public API now supports to activate a span on the current thread.
This makes the span available via ElasticApm#currentSpan()
Refer to the documentation for more details.
Added API methods to enable correlating the spans created from the JavaScrip Real User Monitoring agent with the Java agent transaction.
More information can be found in the documentation.
Microsecond accurate timestamps (#261)
Wildcard patterns are now not limited to only one wildcard in the middle and can be arbitrarily complex now.
Example: *foo*bar*baz.
Support for JAX-RS annotations.
Transactions are named based on your resources (ResourceClass#resourceMethod).

Fix for situations where status code is reported as 200, even though it actually was 500 (#225)
