1.8.6

Updated dependencies

1.8.3

Processing speed improvements:

• Introduce caching of trace event method annotations in the Tracer.invoke() function.
• Skip creation of a TraceEvent object if there are no event consumers. This saves us from performing an expensive
  LocalDateTime.now() call.
• Skip retrieval of trace event method annotations for simple log function invocations, if there are no event consumers.
• Remove string concatenations in createLogMessage() functions. Only use StringBuilder functions.
• Change toStringRegistry to use item::javaClass.name as key, and use item::class.toString() only as fallback.
• Skip reading item.javaClass.getMethod("toString").declaringClass in convertToStringUsingRegistry(): the
  item.toString() function of Any will anyway print the name of the class.
• Fix execution of unit tests requiring mockk-jvm (extensions and traceevents modules): no unit test for these
  modules was being run anymore, after the 1.8.2 update.
• Fix the IfExtensionsTest unit tests: these tests were broken by mockk 1.13.4 (due to
  mockk/mockk#1033).

1.8.2

Updated dependencies.

1.8.0

• Added Tracer.hasQueuedTraceEvents: Boolean to support testing that certain trace events were not sent.

1.7.1

• Remove use of reflection on the critical path of creating a Tracer object by removing the use of KClass<*>.isCompanion. Remove the $Companion suffix from the tagging class instead.
• Initialize Tracer library faster by removing the use of reflection to obtain Tracer library class names.
• Replace the use of LocalDateTime with Instant to measure elapsed time. This omits loading timezone data during initialization of the Tracer library.
• Improve documentation of TracerEvent.parameterNamesProvider.
• Reduce use of reflection on the critical path of trace events by not obtaining the trace event parameter names on the thread that traces the event. Only obtain the trace event parameter names when requested by a trace event consumer.
• Updated dependencies.

1.6.3

Added Kotlin Contracts to ifTrue and ifNull.

1.6.2

Removed cast extensions.

1.6.1

• Enables explicit API, requiring stricter type and visibility definitions of our public APIs.

• Added extensions module, providing general-purpose extension functions that can make your code more concise and
  readable.

1.5.1

Added getNamedParametersMap to TraceEvent, which allows generic trace event consumers to access parameters and their values through a map that maps parameters names to their values. The other way to access parameter values is by using args, which is an array with parameter values, in the order of the method declaration.

1.4.1

• Updated POM dependencies.

• Replaced deprecated Channel methods offer and poll with current method variants trySend and tryReceive.

• Replaced some internal properties with private to be stricter on visibility.

• Removed redundant suspend modifiers from methods.
