Node.js agent v1.40.0

New features

• Node v8 is officially supported with the exception of async/await.

  Support for the new async/await keywords is coming in a future release. Until this support is added, New Relic does not support and highly discourages using the Node.js agent with applications that utilize async/await, as it could result in transaction state loss and data being mixed between transactions.

Fixes

• Fixed issues related to changes in the core networking modules that resulted in transaction state loss. Also instrumented new asynchronous API methods in crypto and inspector.
