newrelic 8.0.0

v8.0.0

on Node.js NPM

Added official parity support for Node 16.

BREAKING: Dropped Node v10.x support. For further information on our support policy,
see: https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/agents/nodejs-agent/getting-started/compatibility-requirements-nodejs-agent.

• Upgraded @newrelic/superagent @newrelic/aws-sdk @newrelic/koa @newrelic/native-metrics and @newrelic/test-utilities to the latest major versions.
• Refactored creation of span event aggregator to prevent crash of gRPC when running on invalid Node.js version.
• Added check for minimum node version >= 12.
• Set package.json engines node field >= 12 and npm field to >=6.
• Removed Node v10 from ci workflow and smoke-test version matrix.
• Removed comments around replacing temporarilyOverrideTapUncaughtBehavior test helper function.
• Removed non-applicable semver checks for versions the agents no longer supports.

BREAKING: The agent no-longer includes the New Relic certificate bundle automatically when using the 'certificates' configuration (commonly with proxies). If you find this breaking your current environment, you may leverage a feature-flag to temporarily restore this functionality. Example configuration: feature_flag: { certificate_bundle: true }. In this case, we recommend getting a certificate bundle for your environment such as the one from Mozilla. The New Relic bundle and feature flag will be fully removed in next major release.

• Defaulted config.feature_flags.certificate_bundle to false.

BREAKING: Removed serverless_mode as a feature flag.

The standard serverless_mode configuration still exists.
