Important end-of-life information
- Support for ZTS binaries was deprecated with release v9.17.0.300 and will be removed in a release in January 2023.
- For installations using an unsupported PHP version or platform (32 bit, FreeBSD, ZTS, etc), it is highly recommended to disable the auto-update mechanisms for the PHP agent packages. This can be done by adding the PHP agent packages to an exclusion list for package upgrades. Alternatively, the PHP agent packages can be version pinned to an agent version that supports the old, unsupported feature(s). Failure to prevent upgrades may result in a newer agent release being installed, removing support for the required, unsupported features. This would disrupt APM data collection.
The PHP agent packages which are affected are:- newrelic-php5
- newrelic-php5-common
- newrelic-daemon
- The PHP agent compatibility and requirements page should be consulted for the latest information on supported PHP versions and platforms.

Improvements

- The default maximum number of custom events gathered per minute has been increased from 10,000 to 30,000.
- This value can now be modified with this ini value.
