5.10.0

Features

• Move http.query to span data in net/http integration #2039
• Validate release is a String during configuration #2040
• Allow JRuby Java exceptions to be captured #2043
• Improved error handling around traces_sample_rate/profiles_sample_rate #2036

Bug Fixes

• Support Rails 7.1's show exception check #2049
• Fix uninitialzed race condition in Redis integration #2057
  • Fixes #2054
• Ignore low-level Puma exceptions by default #2055
• Use allowlist to filter ActiveSupport breadcrumbs' data #2048
• ErrorHandler should cleanup the scope (#2059)

5.9.0

Features

• Add new boolean option config.enable_tracing to simplify enabling performance tracing #2005

  • config.enable_tracing = true will set traces_sample_rate to 1.0 if not set already
  • config.enable_tracing = false will turn off tracing even if traces_sample_rate/traces_sampler is set
  • config.enable_tracing = nil (default) will keep the current behaviour

• Allow ignoring excluded_exceptions when manually capturing exceptions #2007

  Users can now ignore the SDK's excluded_exceptions by passing ignore_exclusions hint when using Sentry.capture_exception.

  # assume ignored_exception.class is included in config.excluded_exception
  Sentry.capture_exception(ignored_exception) # won't be sent to Sentry
  Sentry.capture_exception(ignored_exception, hint: { ignore_exclusions: true }) # will be sent to Sentry

• Support capturing low-level errors propagated to Puma #2026

• Add spec to Backtrace::APP_DIRS_PATTERN #2029

• Forward all baggage header items that are prefixed with sentry- #2025

• Add stackprof based profiler #2024

  The SDK now supports sending profiles taken by the stackprof gem and viewing them in the Profiling section.

  To use it, first add stackprof to your Gemfile and make sure it is loaded before sentry-ruby.

  # Gemfile
  
  gem 'stackprof'
  gem 'sentry-ruby'

  Then, make sure both traces_sample_rate and profiles_sample_rate are set and non-zero in your sentry initializer.

  # config/initializers/sentry.rb
  
  Sentry.init do |config|
    config.dsn = "<dsn>"
    config.traces_sample_rate = 1.0
    config.profiles_sample_rate = 1.0
  end

  Some implementation caveats:

  • Profiles are sampled relative to traces, so if both rates are 0.5, we will capture 0.25 of all requests.
  • Profiles are only captured for code running within a transaction.
  • Profiles for multi-threaded servers like puma might not capture frames correctly when async I/O is happening. This is a stackprof limitation.
  
  

  Warning
  Profiling is currently in beta. Beta features are still in-progress and may have bugs. We recognize the irony.
  If you have any questions or feedback, please email us at profiling@sentry.io, reach out via Discord (#profiling), or open an issue.

Bug Fixes

• Validate that contexts set in set_contexts are also Hash instances #2022
  • Fixes #2021

5.8.0

Features

• Allow tags to be passed via the context hash when reporting errors using ActiveSupport::ErrorReporter and Sentry::Rails::ErrorSubscriber in sentry-rails #1932

• Pass a cached: true tag for SQL query spans that utilized the ActiveRecord QueryCache when using ActiveRecordSubscriber in sentry-rails #1968

• Add Sentry.add_global_event_processor API #1976

  Users can now configure global event processors without configuring scope as well.

  Sentry.add_global_event_processor do |event, hint|
    event.tags = { foo: 42 }
    event
  end

• Add global event processor in OpenTelemetry SpanProcessor to link errors with transactions #1983

• Fix some inconsistencies in setting name/op/status in OpenTelemetry SpanProcessor #1987

• Add config.before_send_transaction hook #1989

  Users can now configure a before_send_transaction callback that runs similar to before_send but for transaction events.

  config.before_send_transaction = lambda do |event, hint|
    # skip unimportant transactions or strip sensitive data
    if event.transaction == "/healthcheck/route"
      nil
    else
      event
    end
  end

• Support Sentry::Transaction#set_measurement #1838

  Usage:

  transaction = Sentry.get_current_scope.get_transaction
  transaction.set_measurement("metrics.foo", 0.5, "millisecond")

5.7.0

Features

• Expose span_id in Span constructor #1945
• Expose end_timestamp in Span#finish and Transaction#finish #1946
• Add Transaction#set_context api #1947
• Add OpenTelemetry support with new sentry-opentelemetry gem

  • Add config.instrumenter to switch between :sentry and :otel instrumentation #1944

    The new sentry-opentelemetry gem adds support to automatically integrate OpenTelemetry performance tracing with Sentry. Give it a try and let us know if you have any feedback or problems with using it.

5.6.0

Features

• Allow users to configure their asset-skipping pattern #1915

  Users can now configure their own pattern to skip asset requests' transactions

  Sentry.init do |config|
    config.rails.assets_regexp = /my_regexp/
  end

• Use Sentry.with_child_span in redis and net/http instead of span.start_child #1920

  • This might change the nesting of some spans and make it more accurate
  • Followup fix to set the sentry-trace header in the correct place #1922

• Use Exception#detailed_message when generating exception message if applicable #1924

• Make sentry-sidekiq compatible with Sidekiq 7 #1930

Bug Fixes

• Sentry::BackgroundWorker will release ActiveRecord connection pool only when the ActiveRecord connection is established

• Remove bad encoding arguments in redis span descriptions #1914

  • Fixes #1911

• Add missing initialized? checks to sentry-rails #1919

  • Fixes #1885

• Update Tracing Span's op names #1923

  Currently, Ruby integrations' Span op names aren't aligned with the core specification's convention, so we decided to update them altogether in this PR.
  If you rely on Span op names for fine-grained event filtering, this may affect the data your app sends to Sentry.
  Also make sure to update your traces_sampler if you rely on the op for filtering some requests.

Refactoring

• Make transaction a required argument of Span #1921

5.5.0

Features

• Support rack 3 #1884

  • We no longer need the HTTP_VERSION check for ignoring the header

• Add Dynamic Sampling support
  The SDK now supports Sentry's Dynamic Sampling product.

  Note that this is not supported for users still using the config.async option.

  • Parse incoming W3C Baggage Headers and propagate them to continue traces #1869
    • in all outgoing requests in our net/http patch
    • in Sentry transactions as Dynamic Sampling Context
  • Create new Baggage entries as Head SDK (originator of trace) #1898
  • Add Transaction source annotations to classify low quality (high cardinality) transaction names #1902

Bug Fixes

• Memoize session.aggregation_key #1892
  • Fixes #1891
• Execute with_scope's block even when SDK is not initialized #1897
  • Fixes #1896
• Make sure test helper clears the current scope before/after a test #1900

5.4.2

Bug Fixes

• Fix sentry_logger when SDK is closed from another thread #1860
  • Fixes #1858

5.4.1

Bug Fixes

• Fix missing spec.files in sentry-ruby.gemspec #1857
  • Fixes #1856

5.4.0

Features

• Expose :values in ExceptionInterface, so that it can be accessed in before_send under event.exception.values #1843

• Add top level Sentry.close API #1844

  • Cleans up SDK state and sets it to uninitialized
  • No-ops all SDK APIs and also disables the transport layer, so nothing will be sent to Sentry after closing the SDK

• Handle exception with large stacktrace without dropping entire item #1807

• Capture Rails runner's exceptions before exiting #1820

• Add Sentry.with_exception_captured helper #1814

  Usage:

  Sentry.with_exception_captured do
   1/1 #=> 1 will be returned
  end
  
  Sentry.with_exception_captured do
   1/0 #=> ZeroDivisionError will be reported and re-raised
  end

• Prepare for Rails 7.1's error reporter API change #1834

• Set sentry.error_event_id in request env if the middleware captures errors #1849

  If the SDK's Rack middleware captures an error, the reported event's id will be stored in the request env. For example:

  env["sentry.error_event_id"] #=> "507bd4c1a07e4355bb70bcd7afe8ab17"

  Users can display this information on the error page via a middleware as proposed in #1846

# in minitest
class MyTest < Minitest::Test
  include Sentry::TestHelper
  # ...
end

# in RSpec
RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include Sentry::TestHelper
  # ...
end

It's still an early attempt so please give us feedback in #1680.
