• New Relic no longer supports PHP 5.3 or PHP 5.4. New Relic highly encourages upgrading to a supported version of PHP.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a memory leak that occurred when short lived segments throw exceptions.

• When initially building the agent, a parallel build is no longer required to avoid an error about a missing header file (v1.pb-c.h).
• SOAP transactions when using Magento 2.3.2+ are now properly named instead of being attributed to Magento's internal SOAP interceptor. Thanks @steven-hoffman-jomashop for the issue report and fix suggestion!

販売終了のお知らせ

• New Relic PHPエージェントでのPHP 5.3およびPHP 5.4のサポートは非推奨であり、将来のバージョンで削除される予定です。New Relicは、サポートされているバージョンのPHP（このリリース時点では7.3以上）へのアップグレードを強くお勧めします。PHP 5.3および5.4でNew Relic PHPエージェントを引き続き実行する場合は、最大限の互換性を得るために、エージェントのバージョン9.15を使用することをお勧めします。ただし、この場合、限定的なサポートしか提供できないことにご注意ください。
• このリリースは、CentOS 5で公式にサポートされる最後のNew Relic PHPエージェントとなります。
• New Relic PHPエージェントのMacOSビルドは提供されなくなり、MacOSプラットフォームでの互換性も保証されなくなります。
• これらのEOL通知の詳細については、Explorers Hubの投稿をご覧ください。

新機能

• Laminas 3.xのサポートが追加されました。
• Laravel Lumen 6.x、7.xおよび8.xのサポートが追加されました。
• Wordpressの計装からサブパスを除外するための実験的サポートが追加されました。これにより、インストゥルメントされるファイルの数が減るため、Wordpressの計装の全体的なオーバーヘッドが軽減されますが、除外されたサブパス内のコードへの可視性が失われるという代償が伴います。これは、iniファイルの設定newrelic.framework.wordpress.hooks_skip_filenameを使用して有効にすることができます。

バグ修正

• arginfoパラメーター名の文字列表現を修正しました。貢献してくださった @TysonAndre に感謝します。

サポートステートメント

• New Relicでは、エージェントを定期的に、少なくとも3か月ごとにアップグレードすることを推奨します。このリリースの時点で、サポートされている最も古いバージョンは8.4.0です。
