0.22.0

The Sentry SDK team is happy to announce the immediate availability of Sentry Go SDK v0.22.0.

This release contains initial profiling support, as well as a few bug fixes and improvements.

Features

• Initial (alpha) support for profiling (#626)

  Profiling is disabled by default. To enable it, configure both TracesSampleRate and ProfilesSampleRate when initializing the SDK:

  err := sentry.Init(sentry.ClientOptions{
    Dsn: "__DSN__",
    EnableTracing: true,
    TracesSampleRate: 1.0,
    // The sampling rate for profiling is relative to TracesSampleRate. In this case, we'll capture profiles for 100% of transactions.
    ProfilesSampleRate: 1.0,
  })

  More documentation on profiling and current limitations can be found here.

• Add transactions/tracing support go the Gin integration (#644)

Bug fixes

• Always set a valid source on transactions (#637)
• Clone scope.Context in more places to avoid panics on concurrent reads and writes (#638)
  • Fixes #570
• Fix frames recognized as not being in-app still showing as in-app (#647)

0.21.0

The Sentry SDK team is happy to announce the immediate availability of Sentry Go SDK v0.21.0.

Note: this release includes one breaking change and some deprecations, which are listed below.

Breaking Changes

This change does not apply if you use https://sentry.io

• Remove support for the /store endpoint (#631)
  • This change requires a self-hosted version of Sentry 20.6.0 or higher. If you are using a version of self-hosted Sentry (aka on-premise) older than 20.6.0, then you will need to upgrade your instance.

Features

• Rename four span option functions (#611, #624)
  • TransctionSource -> WithTransactionSource
  • SpanSampled -> WithSpanSampled
  • OpName -> WithOpName
  • TransactionName -> WithTransactionName
  • Old functions TransctionSource, SpanSampled, OpName, and TransactionName are still available but are now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
• Make client.EventFromMessage and client.EventFromException methods public (#607)
• Add client.SetException method (#607)
  • This allows to set or add errors to an existing Event.

Bug Fixes

• Protect from panics while doing concurrent reads/writes to Span data fields (#609)
• [otel] Improve detection of Sentry-related spans (#632, #636)
  • Fixes cases when HTTP spans containing requests to Sentry were captured by Sentry (#627)

Misc

• Drop testing in (legacy) GOPATH mode (#618)
• Remove outdated documentation from https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/getsentry/sentry-go (#623)

0.20.0

The Sentry SDK team is happy to announce the immediate availability of Sentry Go SDK v0.20.0.

Note: this release has some breaking changes, which are listed below.

Breaking Changes

• Remove the following methods: Scope.SetTransaction(), Scope.Transaction() (#605)

  Span.Name should be used instead to access the transaction's name.

  For example, the following TracesSampler function should be now written as follows:

  Before:

  TracesSampler: func(ctx sentry.SamplingContext) float64 {
    hub := sentry.GetHubFromContext(ctx.Span.Context())
    if hub.Scope().Transaction() == "GET /health" {
      return 0
    }
    return 1
  },

  After:

  TracesSampler: func(ctx sentry.SamplingContext) float64 {
    if ctx.Span.Name == "GET /health" {
      return 0
    }
    return 1
  },

Features

• Add Span.SetContext() method (#599)
  • It is recommended to use it instead of hub.Scope().SetContext when setting or updating context on transactions.
• Add DebugMeta interface to Event and extend Frame structure with more fields (#606)
  • More about DebugMeta interface here.

Bug Fixes

• [otel] Fix missing OpenTelemetry context on some events (#599, #605)
  • Fixes (#596).
• [otel] Better handling for HTTP span attributes (#610)

• Bump google.golang.org/protobuf minimum required version to 1.29.1 (#604)
  • This fixes a potential denial of service issue (CVE-2023-24535).
• Exclude the otel module when building in GOPATH mode (#615)

0.19.0

      // ...
  )
  
  // Initlaize the Sentry SDK
  sentry.Init(sentry.ClientOptions{

0.16.0

The Sentry SDK team is happy to announce the immediate availability of Sentry Go SDK v0.16.0.
Due to ongoing work towards a stable API for v1.0.0, we sadly had to include two breaking changes in this release.

Breaking Changes

• Add EnableTracing, a boolean option flag to enable performance monitoring (false by default).

  • If you're using TracesSampleRate or TracesSampler, this option is required to enable performance monitoring.

    sentry.Init(sentry.ClientOptions{
        EnableTracing: true,
        TracesSampleRate: 1.0,
    })

• Unify TracesSampler #498

  • TracesSampler was changed to a callback that must return a float64 between 0.0 and 1.0.

    For example, you can apply a sample rate of 1.0 (100%) to all /api transactions, and a sample rate of 0.5 (50%) to all other transactions.
    You can read more about this in our SDK docs.

    sentry.Init(sentry.ClientOptions{
        TracesSampler: sentry.TracesSampler(func(ctx sentry.SamplingContext) float64 {
             hub := sentry.GetHubFromContext(ctx.Span.Context())
             name := hub.Scope().Transaction()
    
             if strings.HasPrefix(name, "GET /api") {
                 return 1.0
             }
    
             return 0.5
         }),
     }

Features

• Send errors logged with Logrus to Sentry.
  • Have a look at our logrus examples on how to use the integration.
• Add support for Dynamic Sampling #491
  • You can read more about Dynamic Sampling in our product docs.
• Add detailed logging about the reason transactions are being dropped.
  • You can enable SDK logging via sentry.ClientOptions.Debug: true.
