newrelic/newrelic-java-agent v7.3.0

Version 7.3.0

on GitHub

New features and improvements

• Support for Java 16

• Auto-instrumentation support for java.net.http.HttpClient

• Migrate the Agent’s caching library from Guava to Caffeine

  • Caffeine provides an in-memory cache using a Google Guava inspired API. The improvements draw on the author’s experience designing Guava's cache and ConcurrentLinkedHashMap.
  • We expect this change to provide improvement in cases where we saw thread contention and deadlocks attributable to the Guava library.

Fixes

• Removed support for the anorm-2.0 instrumentation module
  • The artifacts that this module instrumented are no longer available.
