Release Notes

v0.46.0rc2

New Features

  • elasticsearch: add support for version 7.

Upgrade Notes

  • elasticsearch: removed get_traced_transport method and ddtrace.contrib.elasticsearch.transport module.

v0.46.0rc1

New Features

  • aiohttp: store request and response headers.

  • bottle: store request and response headers.

  • flask: store response headers.

  • molten: store request headers.

  • pyramid: store request and response headers.

  • flask: store request and response headers when auto-instrumented.

  • The ddtrace.profiling.auto module will warn users if gevent monkey patching is done after the profiler is auto-instrumented.

  • The Profiler object can now be passed tags with the tags keyword argument.

Upgrade Notes

  • The profiler will only load tags from the DD_TAGS environment variable once at start.

Deprecation Notes

Bug Fixes

  • dbapi: avoid type error with potential non-compliance in db libraries when setting tag for row count.

  • django: add legacy resource format of {handler}.

  • grpc: fix wrapper for streaming response to support libraries that call an internal method directly.

  • sanic: use path parameter names instead of parameter values for the resource.

  • The profiler won’t deadlock on fork when gevent monkey patch is enabled.

  • requests: fix TracedSession when patches are not applied.

v0.45.0rc1

Prelude

Build and deploy Python 3.9 wheels for releases

New Features

  • botocore: added distributed_tracing configuration setting which is enabled by default.

  • The ddtrace-run command now supports the following arguments:

    -h, –help -d, –debug enable debug mode (disabled by default) -i, –info print library info useful for debugging -p, –profiling enable profiling (disabled by default) -v, –version show program’s version number and exit

    It now also has friendlier error messages when used incorrectly.

  • Add functionality to call gevent.monkey.patch_all() with ddtrace-run by setting the environment variable DD_GEVENT_PATCH_ALL=true. This ensures that gevent patching is done as early as possible in the application.

  • botocore: inject distributed tracing data to ClientContext to trace lambda invocations.

  • botocore: inject tracing data to MessageAttributes.

  • The profiler now tracks the running gevent Greenlet and store it as part of the CPU and wall time profiling information.

  • The profiler is now able to upload profiles to the Datadog Agent by using a Unix Domain Socket.

  • It is now possible to pass a url parameter to the Profiler to specify the Datadog agent location.

  • The new memory profiler for Python is now enabled by default. This improves the profiler memory consumption and performance impact. It can still be disabled by setting DD_PROFILING_MEMALLOC=0 as an environment variable.

  • The profiler now uses the tracer configuration is no configuration is provided.

  • pytest integration. This enables the pytest runner to trace test executions.

Upgrade Notes

  • Context.get() has been removed and the functionality has been rolled into Context.close_span().

  • Tracer.record() has similarly been removed as it is no longer useful with Context.get() removed.

  • The deprecated compatibility module ddtrace.profile has been removed.

  • The profiler now uses the tracer configuration is no configuration is provided.

Deprecation Notes

  • The pyddprofile wrapper is deprecated. Use DD_PROFILING_ENABLED=true ddtrace-run instead.

  • The profiler does not catch uncaught exception anymore.

Bug Fixes

  • core: always reset the current_span in the context.

  • django: Http404 exceptions will no longer be flagged as errors

  • django: add safe guards for building http.url span tag.

  • aiobotocore: set span error for 5xx status codes.

  • elasticsearch: set span error for 5xx status codes.

  • django, DRF, ASGI: fix span type for web request spans.

  • Fixes span id tagging in lock profiling.

  • Fix UDS upload for profiling not using the correct path.

  • Fixed an issue in profiling exporting profiles twice when forking.

  • core: fix race condition in TracerTagCollector.

Other Notes

  • Start-up logs are now disabled by default. To enable start-up logs use DD_TRACE_STARTUP_LOGS=true or DD_TRACE_DEBUG=true.

v0.44.0rc1

Prelude

Add support for Python 3.9

New Features

  • Store request headers in Flask integration.

  • pyodbc integration. This enables the pyodbc library to trace queries.

  • starlette integration resource aggregation This aggregates endpoints to the starlette application resource that was accessed. It occurs by default but it is configurable through config.starlette[“aggregate_resources”].

  • The profiler now captures the traces information with the lock profiling.

  • The Profiler instances now restart automatically in child process when the main program is forked. This only works for Python ≥ 3.7.

Bug Fixes

  • dbapi: add support for connection context manager usage

  • django: check view before instrumenting MRO.

  • core: use loose types when encoding.

  • Patch pynamodb on import to prevent patching conflicts with gevent.

  • tornado: handle when the current span is None in log_exception().
