8.6.0

Important Changes

• feat(metrics): Add timings method to metrics (#12226)

  This introduces a new method, metrics.timing(), which can be used in two ways:

  1. With a numeric value, to simplify creating a distribution metric. This will default to second as unit:

  Sentry.metrics.timing('myMetric', 100);
  

  1. With a callback, which will wrap the duration of the callback. This can accept a sync or async callback. It will create an inactive span around the callback and at the end emit a metric with the duration of the span in seconds:

  const returnValue = Sentry.metrics.timing('myMetric', measureThisFunction);
  

• feat(react): Add Sentry.reactErrorHandler (#12147)

  This PR introduces Sentry.reactErrorHandler, which you can use in React 19 as follows:

  import * as Sentry from '@sentry/react';
  import { hydrateRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
  
  ReactDOM.hydrateRoot(
    document.getElementById('root'),
    <React.StrictMode>
      <App />
    </React.StrictMode>,
    {
      onUncaughtError: Sentry.reactErrorHandler(),
      onCaughtError: Sentry.reactErrorHandler((error, errorInfo) => {
        // optional callback if users want custom config.
      }),
    },
  );
  

  For more details, take a look at the PR. Our documentation will be updated soon!

8.5.0

Important Changes

• feat(react): Add React 19 to peer deps (#12207)

This release adds support for React 19 in the @sentry/react SDK package.

• feat(node): Add @sentry/node/preload hook (#12213)

This release adds a new way to initialize @sentry/node, which allows you to use the SDK with performance instrumentation even if you cannot call Sentry.init() at the very start of your app.

First, run the SDK like this:

node --require @sentry/node/preload ./app.js

Now, you can initialize and import the rest of the SDK later or asynchronously:

const express = require('express');
const Sentry = require('@sentry/node');

const dsn = await getSentryDsn();
Sentry.init({ dsn });

For more details, head over to the PR Description of the new feature. Our docs will be updated soon with a new guide.

8.4.0

Important Changes

• feat(nextjs): Trace pageloads in App Router (#12157)

If you are using Next.js version 14.3.0-canary.64 or above, the Sentry Next.js SDK will now trace clientside pageloads with React Server Components. This means, that client-side errors like Error: An error occurred in the Server Components render., which previously didn't give you much information on how that error was caused, can now be traced back to a specific error in a server component.

8.0.0

The Sentry JS SDK team is proud to announce the release of version 8.0.0 of Sentry's JavaScript SDKs - it's been a long time coming! Thanks to everyone for your patience and a special shout out to the brave souls testing preview builds and reporting issues - we appreciate your support!

How to Upgrade to Version 8:

We recommend reading the migration guide docs to find out how to address any breaking changes in your code for your specific platform or framework.

To automate upgrading to v8 as much as possible, use our migration codemod @sentry/migr8:

npx @sentry/migr8@latest

All deprecations from the v7 cycle, with the exception of getCurrentHub(), have been removed and can no longer be used in v8. If you have an advanced Sentry SDK setup, we additionally recommend reading the in-depth migration guide in our repo which highlights all changes with additional details and information.

The rest of this changelog highlights the most important (breaking) changes and links to more detailed information.

Version Support

With v8, we dropped support for several old runtimes and browsers

Node SDKs: The Sentry JavaScript SDK v8 now supports Node.js 14.8.0 or higher. This applies to @sentry/node and all of our node-based server-side sdks (@sentry/nextjs, @sentry/remix, etc.). Furthermore, version 8 now ships with full support for ESM-based node apps using Node.js 18.19.0 or higher.

Browser SDKs: The browser SDKs now require ES2018+ compatible browsers. New minimum browser versions:

• Chrome 63
• Edge 79
• Safari/iOS Safari 12
• Firefox 58
• Opera 50
• Samsung Internet 8.2

For more details, please see the version support section in our migration guide.

Initializing Server-side SDKs (Node, Bun, Deno, Serverless):

In v8, we support a lot more node-based packages than before. In order to ensure auto-instrumentation works, the SDK now needs to be imported and initialized before any other import in your code.

We recommend creating a new file (e.g. instrumentation.js) to import and initialize the SDK. Then, import the file on top of your entry file or detailed instructions, check our updated SDK setup docs initializing the SDK in v8.

Performance Monitoring Changes

The API around performance monitoring and tracing has been streamlined, and we've added support for more integrations out of the box.

• Performance Monitoring API
• Performance Monitoring Integrations

Functional Integrations

Integrations are now simple functions instead of classes. Class-based integrations have been removed:

// old (v7)
Sentry.init({
  integrations: [new Sentry.BrowserTracing()],
});

// new (v8)
Sentry.init({
  integrations: [Sentry.browserTracingIntegration()],
});

Package removal

The following packages have been removed or replaced and will no longer be published:

• @sentry/hub
• @sentry/tracing
• @sentry/integrations
• @sentry/serverless
• @sentry/replay

Changes since 8.0.0-rc.3

• feat(nextjs): Remove transpileClientSDK (#11978)

  As we are dropping support for Internet Explorer 11 and other other older browser versions wih version 8.0.0, we are also removing the transpileClientSDK option from the Next.js SDK. If you need to support these browser versions, please configure Webpack and Next.js to down-compile the SDK.

• feat(serverless): Do not include performance integrations by default (#11998)

  To keep Lambda bundle size reasonable, the SDK no longer ships with all performance (database) integrations by default. Add the Sentry integrations of the databases and other tools you're using manually to your Sentry.init call by following this guide. Note that this change does not apply if you use the SDK with the Sentry AWS Lambda layer.

• feat(feedback): Simplify public css configuration for feedback (#11985)

• fix(feedback): Check for empty user (#11993)

• fix(replay): Fix type for replayCanvasIntegration (#11995)

• fix(replay): Fix user activity not being updated in start() (#12001)

8.0.0-rc.2

Important Changes

• feat(node): Register ESM patching hooks in init for supported Node.js versions

This release includes adds support for ESM when Sentry.init() is called within a module imported via the --import Node.js flag:

node --import ./your-file-with-sentry-init.mjs your-app.mjs

Note that the SDK only supports ESM for node versions 18.19.0 and above, and 20.6.0 above.
