8.2.1

• Fix the start time of cold app start root spans

8.2.0

• Adopt official OpenTelemetry Kotlin API (io.opentelemetry.kotlin)
  • This new package is based on the Embrace Kotlin OTel API use in previous versions, which was donated and renamed.
  • Under the hood, the official OTel Java SDK is still used, so there's no change there.
• Fail the app build with a warning if an invalid entry is found in embrace-config.json.
• Capture sessions from app instances terminated unexpectedly even if native crash capture is disabled.
• Block network requests to Embrace when the server cannot be reached, even if the device has a network connection.
  • The SDK will test at a reasonable cadence whether the Embrace server can be reached and send all the blocked requests when it can.
• Enable native crash capture by default, i.e. if unspecified in embrace-config.json.
• Track in-process OkHttp network requests in a session that ended with a crash.
• Inject traceparent that matches the ID of the span exported through OTel SpanExporters that represents the request.
• Make consistent thread blockage (ANR) data in session when the main thread is unblocking at the same time the session is ending.
• Update OpenTelemetry Java API and SDK to 1.60.1.

8.1.0

• Added support for setting an OpenTelemetry SpanProcessor and LogRecordProcessor.
• Added support for using OpenTelemetry's Logger API.
• Alterations to non-public, internal Embrace APIs.
• Internal improvements to SDK telemetry.

8.0.0

• New minimum versions for platform dependencies like Gradle, AGP, Kotlin, and JDK.
  • Better support of new versions of these dependencies going forward, including the upcoming Kotlin 2.3
• Renames of the Embrace Gradle Plugin artifact and in the Embrace Gradle DSL (RIP "Swazzler").
• Reorganization and renames of certain classes, methods, and modules to improve clarity.
• Removal of deprecated symbols that are no longer functional.
• Changes to the default HttpsURLConnection instrumentation.
• More information about this release, including step-by-step upgrade instructions, could be found in the Upgrade Guide.

7.9.3

• Fix method signature mismatch in HttpsURLConnection instrumentation wrapper.
• Added deprecation warning: this is the last version with the io.embrace.swazzler gradle plugin ID. From 8.0, the ID will be io.embrace.gradle.

7.9.2

• Propagate arguments correctly when starting span directly via OTel API

7.9.1

• Restore the minimum Java runtime compatibility version to 1.8

7.9.0

• Fix transitive dependency issue to restore the minimum Kotlin version to 1.8.22.

7.8.0

• Update limits and truncation logic.
  • Session/Log properties:
    • Properties per Session/Log: 10 -> 100
    • Value: 256 -> 1024 characters
  • Spans:
    • Name length: 50 -> 128 characters
    • Custom attributes per span: 50 -> 100
    • Attribute keys: 50 -> 128 characters
    • Attribute values: 200 -> 1024 characters
    • Event name length: 100 -> 128 characters
  • Names, keys, and values that are too long will now be truncated automatically instead of failing the underlying operation.
• Fix crash when a custom URLStreamHandler that doesn't implement the openConnection() method is used when HttpsUrlConnection instrumentation is enabled.
• Update OpenTelemetry API and SDK to 1.52.0

Warning: this release bumped the minimum supported version of Kotlin to 2.0. If you need to use an older version, compatibility with 1.8.22 is restored in Embrace 7.9.0.

7.7.0

• Improve cold startup trace by automatically instrumenting Application.onCreate() invocation
• Add session.id attribute to all Spans that denotes the session in which a Span started in
• Use Kotlin OTel API and Java adaptors internally (no visible API or behavior change to SDK users)
• Require desugaring at build time when minSdk < 26 due to OTel SDK issue

Warning: this release bumped the minimum supported version of Kotlin to 2.0. If you need to use an older version, compatibility with 1.8.22 is restored in Embrace 7.9.0.
