open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation v0.8.0 on GitHub

This update is compatible with the OpenTelemetry Java SDK 0.8.0

🌟 New instrumentation

Java 11 HttpClient #1121
Logback ID injection #1165 #1180
Redisson #1132
Armeria WebClient #920

While not new instrumentation, we've also added documentation for our Spring instrumentation - give it a try and let us know how we can improve it! #1035 #1110

📈 Improvements

Significant work consolidating tracing code to use Tracer abstraction instead of Decorator #893 #918 #922 #1148
Thread information is logged into span attributes #1093
More coverage of messaging attributes for JMS #963 #1179
Jedis now has net.peer mapped correctly #1158
Removed redundant instrumentation of UrlConnection #1059
Metric exporter is now enabled by default #1098
Version of the Java agent is now populated in Resource #1112
Many optimizations to our framework / various instrumentations #1107

🛠️ Bug fixes

WithSpan works again after fixing compatibility with the SDK #929
ClassCastException not thrown when accessing TracerSDK directly #931
OpenTracing shim correctly propagates headers (baggage is still not supported) #947 #974
ClassCastException not thrown on recent Jetty versions #1156
null can be set by instrumentations using InstrumentationContext even when the context is backed by a map #1177
Kotlin coroutines have context propagated correctly #1168
Spring Web MVC spans have correct name even if there is an authentication failure #1122
Servlet 3.1+ containers do not throw exceptions #1167

☢️ Breaking changes

io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-sdk-extension-auto-config used by exporter modules has been replaced by io.opentelemetry.instrumentation.auto:opentelemetry-javaagent-tooling. If you maintain a custom exporter, please migrate to this new module to continue to be recognized by the agent.
- We will probably be renaming this module again in the next version, sorry for the churn!
Java agent binary and modules are now published at io.opentelemetry.instrumentation.auto:opentelemetry-javaagent/opentelemetry-javaagent-bootstrap/opentelemetry-javaagent-tooling
io.opentelemetry.auto package moved to io.opentelemetry.javaagent. This affects any command line parameters too

⛓ Tooling

Reworked tests against latest dependencies of libraries to be flagged by a property, reducing load during local development #977
Added Gradle remote caching to improve build times on GitHub actions and locally #982
Smoke tests reworked to run well on both CI and locally #934
Migrated test runner to JUnit5 from JUnit4 #770
You should now see far fewer flaky builds as we have automatic retry of all tests due to the flaky nature of some of the libraries we use #908
