Bug fixes
-
Fix crash in MetricNormalizationRules
Fixed a crash when using client side MetricNormalizationRules to ignore metrics (set through NerdGraph and available under a feature flag). The metrics should now be properly ignored. -
Fix DeprecationWarning in pacakge version detection for Python 3.10+
Fixed a DeprecationWarning emitted by pacakge version detection used internally for Python 3.10+. When importlib.metadata is available, prefer using it to avoid checking deprecated version attributes on modules. (Thanks @renanivo for the contribution!)
