1.4.0

Features

Breaking changes

• We have some changes that are technically breaking changes. We made some helper classes internal that were never meant to be public. These are: Elastic.Apm.Helpers.AgentTimeInstant, Elastic.Apm.Helpers.ContractExtensions, Elastic.Apm.Helpers.ObjectExtensions, Elastic.Apm.Helpers.ToStringBuilder. None of these classes were documented or mentioned as part of the Public Agent API. We expect no usage of these classes outside the agent.

• Based on feedback we also renamed the UseElasticApm() method in the Elastic.Apm.NetCoreAll package to UseAllElasticApm - this method turns on every component of the Agent for ASP.NET Core. #371
• Our logger abstraction, specifically the IApmLogger interface changed: #389
• To follow Elastic Common Schema (ECS) we renamed our Tags properties to Labels. #416
