.NET agent v8.4.880.0

July 30, 2018

Download the appropriate release for your New Relic .NET agent:

SQL query parameter values can now be captured on Slow SQL Traces. This feature can be enabled with the new configuration option datastoreTracer.queryParameters. The transactionTracer.record_sql configuration option must also be set to raw. See documentation here. This feature should be used with caution as it can lead to the capture of sensitive data. High Security Mode prevents the use of this feature. Windows support only. Linux support coming soon.
[.NET Framework] Adds support for tracking async transactions when .ConfigureAwait(false) is used from async controller actions in ASP.NET MVC applications.
[.NET Core] Adds support for .NET Core 2.1. Support for .NET Core 2.1 requires at least CLR version 2.1.3 and tiered compilation must not be enabled.

[.NET Core] Fixes issue where status code based errors would be reported instead of the actual noticed Exception. This most commonly occurred with errors noticed in the ExceptionHandlerMiddleware (app.UseExceptionHandler(...)).
Fixes an issue where only the first request parameter is captured when request.parameters.* attributes are added to an include list.

We will be removing the core_20 directory from the download site the week of September 3rd, 2018 as it contains a deprecated version of the .Net Core agent. Please be sure to update any of your scripts that reference this location accordingly.
- All downloads for the current version of the agent can be found in the latest_release directory on the download site.
- Historical versions can be found in the previous_releases directory.
