• Add force init option to Android Manifest (#3675)
  • Use <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.force-init" android:value="true" /> to ensure Sentry Android auto init is not easily overwritten

• Emit transaction.data inside contexts.trace.data (#3735)
  • Also does not emit transaction.data in exras anymore

Fixes

• Use OpenTelemetry span name as fallback for transaction name (#3557)

• Add OpenTelemetry span data to Sentry span (#3593)
• No longer selectively copy OpenTelemetry attributes to Sentry spans / transactions data (#3663)

• Use RECORD_ONLY sampling decision if performance is disabled (#3659)
  • Also fix check whether Performance is enabled when making a sampling decision in the OpenTelemetry sampler
• Sentry OpenTelemetry Java Agent now sets Instrumenter to SENTRY (used to be OTEL) (#3697)

• Add enable-spotlight and spotlight-connection-url to external options and check if spotlight is enabled when deciding whether to inspect an OpenTelemetry span for connecting to splotlight (#3709)

7.15.0

Features

• Add support for feedback envelope header item type (#3687)
• Add breadcrumb.origin field (#3727)
• Session Replay: Add options to selectively mask/unmask views captured in replay. The following options are available: (#3689)
  • android:tag="sentry-mask|sentry-unmask" in XML or view.setTag("sentry-mask|sentry-unmask") in code tags
    • if you already have a tag set for a view, you can set a tag by id: <tag android:id="@id/sentry_privacy" android:value="mask|unmask"/> in XML or view.setTag(io.sentry.android.replay.R.id.sentry_privacy, "mask|unmask") in code
  • view.sentryReplayMask() or view.sentryReplayUnmask() extension functions
  • mask/unmask Views of a certain type by adding fully-qualified classname to one of the lists options.experimental.sessionReplay.addMaskViewClass() or options.experimental.sessionReplay.addUnmaskViewClass(). Note, that all of the view subclasses/subtypes will be masked/unmasked as well
    • For example, (this is already a default behavior) to mask all TextViews and their subclasses (RadioButton, EditText, etc.): options.experimental.sessionReplay.addMaskViewClass("android.widget.TextView")
    • If you're using code obfuscation, adjust your proguard-rules accordingly, so your custom view class name is not minified
• Session Replay: Support Jetpack Compose masking (#3739)

  • Never encode full frames for a video segment, only do partial updates. This further reduces size of the replay segment
  • Use propagation context when no active transaction for ANRs

Dependencies

• Bump Spring Boot to 3.3.2 (#3541)

7.12.1

Fixes

• Check app start spans time and ignore background app starts (#3550)
  • This should eliminate long-lasting App Start transactions

7.12.0

Features

• Session Replay Public Beta (#3339)

  To enable Replay use the sessionReplay.sessionSampleRate or sessionReplay.errorSampleRate experimental options.

  import io.sentry.SentryReplayOptions
  import io.sentry.android.core.SentryAndroid
  
  SentryAndroid.init(context) { options ->
   
    // Currently under experimental options:
    options.experimental.sessionReplay.sessionSampleRate = 1.0 // We suggest 0.1 in production (10% sessions sampled)
    options.experimental.sessionReplay.errorSampleRate = 1.0
  
    // To change default redaction behavior (defaults to true)
    options.experimental.sessionReplay.redactAllImages = true
    options.experimental.sessionReplay.redactAllText = true
  
    // To change quality of the recording (defaults to MEDIUM)
    options.experimental.sessionReplay.quality = SentryReplayOptions.SentryReplayQuality.MEDIUM // (LOW|MEDIUM|HIGH)
  }

7.12.0-alpha.4

• Session Replay for Android (#3339)

We released our fifth Alpha version of the SDK with support. To get access, it requires adding your Sentry org to our feature flag. Please let us know on the waitlist if you're interested

8.0.0-alpha.4

Fixes

• Removed user segment (#3512)
• Use span id of remote parent (#3548)
  • Traces were broken because on an incoming request, OtelSentrySpanProcessor did not set the parentSpanId on the span correctly. Traces were not referencing the actual parent span but some other (random) span ID which the server doesn't know.
• Attach active span to scope when using OpenTelemetry (#3549)
  • Errors weren't linked to traces correctly due to parts of the SDK not knowing the current span
• Record dropped spans in client report when sampling out OpenTelemetry spans (#3552)
• Retrieve the correct current span from Scope/Scopes when using OpenTelemetry (#3554)
