[2.25.0] 2022-05-04

Fixed

[2.24.0] 2022-02-08

[2.23.3] 2021-11-04

Added

• Added support for Django 4.0 and Python 3.10.

Fixed

[2.16.1] 2020-09-09

Fixed

• Added a cast to string of query parameters, to work around cases where application code changes them to non-strings. Fixes a possible exception: AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'encode' in scout.core.web_requests.

[2.16.0] 2020-09-08

Added

• Changed default agent connection to use TCP rather than a unix socket. By default the agent will be run on 127.0.0.1, port 6590. This should resolve a number of connection issues. To continue using a socket connection, configure core_agent_socket_path. (Issue #553)
• Tested with Django 3.1. No compatibility changes were required, but this is the first release to be tagged as supporting it.

Fixed

• Fixed validation check on length of key. (Issue #563)

[2.15.2] 2020-07-24

Fixed

[2.15.1] 2020-07-23

Fixed

• Always convert collect_remote_ip to boolean. (Issue #542)

[2.15.0] 2020-07-22

Added

[2.14.3] 2020-06-05

Fixed

• Don't log the Scout key during startup. (Issue #297)

[2.14.2] 2020-05-22

[2.14.1] 2020-04-28

[2.14.0] 2020-04-08

Fixed

• Instrument new Elasticsearch methods get_script_context() and get_script_languages(). (PR #507)
• Prevent output from the core agent when starting it. (Issue #510)

[2.13.0] 2020-03-09

Added

• Added config value shutdown_message_enabled / SCOUT_SHUTDOWN_MESSAGE_ENABLED which can be set to "false" to disable the shutdown message "Scout draining N events..."that was added in version 2.11.0. (Issue #498)
• Renamed config_file, log_file, and socket_path to have the core_agent_ prefix. This is to clarify that they apply only to the core agent process. The old names continue to work as aliases. (Issue #497)
• Improved some log messages and levels around instrumentation. (Issue #502)

[2.12.0] 2020-03-03

Added

• Added ability to read configuration from your Celery app. This can help share configuration between Django and Celery. Pass your application as app to have the configuration copied: scout_apm.celery.install(app=app) . (Issue #477)
• Added maximum span limit of 1500. This prevents memory exhaustion when tracing long running tasks as Scout no longer tries to record everything. (Issue #472)

Fixed

• Made installation of the objtrace C extension optional, so that if it fails due to your C compiler being old, Scout can still install. (Issue #488)
• Removed warning for setting the SCOUT_LOG_LEVEL setting, since this is set by default by the Heroku add-on. (Issue #486)

[2.11.0] 2020-02-17

Added

• Improve Falcon integration: tracing is automatically disabled if installation fails, track middleware, and support class-based responders. (PR #453, PR #460)
• Add Hug integration. (PR #460)
• Limit size of recorded tracebacks to reduce memory usage. (PR #476)
• Scout now flushes any queued commands to the core agent at shutdown, with a configurable timeout shutdown_timeout_seconds, defaulting to 2 seconds. This ensures that all traces are recorded, rather than lost, especially useful for single-run background commands. (Issue # 473)
• Move from requests to underlying urllib3 for downloads to reduce dependency footprint. (PR #480)
• Retry downloading the core agent a few times, and use a timeout to prevent startup hangs. (PR #480)

Fixed

• Moved some user-facing warnings, such as for deprecated features, from logging to warnings, so they can be caught during testing. (PR #468)
• Fix Jinja2 asynchronous rendering instrumentation for Jinja2 2.11.0+. (PR #462)
• Stop patching elasticsearch's scripts_painless_context(), because it has been removed in version 7.5.1. (Issue #454)
• Fix for elasticsearch version 7.5.1's change of positional argument order. (Issue #456)

[2.10.0] 2020-01-02

• Add CherryPy integration. (PR #431)
• Add tracking for missing PyMongo Collection methods. (PR #436)
• Add tracking for missing Elasticsearch client methods. (PR #438)
