.NET agent v8.32.0.0

New Features

• Proxy Password Obfuscation Support
  Agent configuration supports the obfuscation of the proxy password. The New Relic Command Line Interface (CLI) may be used to obscure the proxy password. The following documentation describes how to use an obscured proxy password in the .NET Agent configuration.
• MySqlConnector Support
  The MySqlConnector ADO.NET driver is instrumented by default. Fixes #85 and implements this suggestion.
• Nullable Reference Type support in the API
  Enables nullable reference types that are part of the C# 8.0 language specification and updates the signatures of API methods accordingly. There should be no required changes in API usage.
• Improved Support for NetTCP Binding in WCF Instrumentation
  When the NetTCP Binding type is used in Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), the Agent will now send and receive trace context information in support of Distributed Tracing (DT) or Cross Application Tracing (CAT). Implements #209.

Fixes

• Fixes an issue that may cause InvalidCastException due to an assembly version mismatch in Mvc3 instrumentation.
• Fixes an async timing issue that can cause the end time of Task-returning methods to be determined incorrectly.
