New features

• feat: Add PHP 8.4 support by @ZNeumann in #996

Bug Fixes

• fix(agent): fix Drupal error and exception handling by @bduranleau-nr in #995
  • This fix may conflict with the error and exception handling of the Drupal new_relic_rpm module. If you have this module installed and you aren't seeing your errors reported natively by the agent, try disabling the new_relic_rpm module. If you still experience issues after disabling this module, please reach out to New Relic Support.
• fix(axiom): externalCallCount should be added to the txn not just the error by @zsistla in #1006
• fix(agent): address the aws-sdk-php versioning change by @zsistla in #1001

Security

• security(daemon): upgrade golang.org/x/net to v0.33.0 by @lavarou in #999

Support statement

• New Relic recommends that you upgrade the agent regularly and at a minimum every 3 months. For more information on supported agent versions and EOL timelines, check out our New Relic PHP Agent EOL policy.
• The PHP agent compatibility and requirements page should be consulted for the latest information on supported PHP versions and platforms.

For installations using an unsupported PHP version or platform, it's highly recommended that you disable the auto-update mechanisms for the PHP agent packages. This can be done by adding the PHP agent packages to an exclusion list for package upgrades. Or you could version pin the PHP agent package to an agent version that supports the old, unsupported feature(s). Failure to prevent upgrades may result in a newer agent release being installed and the removal of support for the required, unsupported features. This would disrupt APM data collection.

The PHP agent packages that are affected are:

- newrelic-php5
- newrelic-php5-common
- newrelic-daemon
