Important Changes since v8.0.0-alpha.9

• feat(browser): Create spans as children of root span by default (#10986)

Because execution context isolation in browser environments does not work reliably, we deciced to keep a flat span hierarchy by default in v8.

• feat(core): Deprecate addTracingExtensions (#11579)

Instead of calling Sentry.addTracingExtensions() if you want to use performance in a browser SDK without using browserTracingIntegration(), you should now call Sentry.registerSpanErrorInstrumentation().

• feat(core): Implement suppressTracing (#11468)

You can use the new suppressTracing API to ensure a given callback will not generate any spans:

return Sentry.suppressTracing(() => {
  // Ensure this fetch call does not generate a span
  return fetch('/my-url');
});

• feat: Rename ESM loader hooks to import and loader (#11498)

We renamed the loader hooks for better clarity:

8.0.0-alpha.8

This is a partially broken release and was superseded by version 8.0.0-alpha.9.

7.109.0

This release deprecates some exports from the @sentry/replay package. These exports have been moved to the browser SDK (or related framework SDKs like @sentry/react).

• feat(feedback): Make "required" text for input elements configurable (#11287)
• feat(node): Add scope to ANR events (#11267)
• feat(replay): Bump rrweb to 2.12.0 (#11317)
• fix(node): Local variables skipped after Promise (#11248)
• fix(node): Skip capturing Hapi Boom error responses (#11324)

Work in this release contributed by @soerface. Thank you for your contribution!

8.0.0-alpha.7

This is the seventh alpha release of Sentry JavaScript SDK v8, which includes a variety of breaking changes.

Read the in-depth migration guide to find out how to address any breaking changes in your code.

Important Changes

• feat(nextjs): Use OpenTelemetry for performance monitoring and tracing (#11016)

We now use OpenTelemetry under the hood to power performance monitoring and tracing in the Next.js SDK.

• feat(v8/gatsby): Update SDK initialization for gatsby (#11292)

In v8, you cannot initialize the SDK anymore via Gatsby plugin options. Instead, you have to configure the SDK in a sentry.config.js file.

We also removed the automatic initialization of browserTracingIntegration. You now have to add this integration yourself.

Please see the Migration Guide for more details.

In addition, the Next.js SDK now requires a minimum Next.js version of 13.2.0.

8.0.0-alpha.4

This is the fourth Alpha release of the v8 cycle, which includes a variety of breaking changes.

Read the in-depth migration guide to find out how to address any breaking changes in your code.

Important Changes

• feat: Set required node version to >=14.18.0 for all packages (#10968)

The minimum Node version required for the SDK is now 14.18.0.

• Serverless SDK Changes
  • feat(google-cloud): Add @sentry/google-cloud package (#10993)
  • feat(v8): Add @sentry/aws-serverless package (#11052)
  • feat(v8): Rename gcp package to @sentry/google-cloud-serverless (#11065)

@sentry/serverless is no longer published, and is replaced by two new packages: @sentry/google-cloud-serverless and @sentry/aws-serverless. These packages are now the recommended way to instrument serverless functions. See the migration guide for more details.

• build(bundles): Use ES2017 for bundles (drop ES5 support) (#10911)

The Browser SDK and CDN bundles now emits ES2017 compatible code and drops support for IE11. This also means that the Browser SDKs (@sentry/browser, @sentry/react, @sentry/vue, etc.) requires the fetch API to be available in the environment. If you need to support older browsers, please transpile your code to ES5 using babel or similar and add required polyfills.

New minimum supported browsers:

• Chrome 58
• Edge 15
• Safari/iOS Safari 11
• Firefox 54
• Opera 45
