Notes
This release of the Python agent improves our introductory support for Tornado 4 applications by adding Cross Application Tracing for web transactions that are sent to a Tornado 4 application.
The agent can be installed using easy_install/pip/distribute via the Python Package Index or can be downloaded directly from the New Relic download site.
New Feature
Tornado 4 applications will now appear in Service Maps
Tornado 4 Cross Application Tracing is now supported for inbound web transactions. In addition to Service Maps, the calling application's APM will now have links to the Tornado 4 application it called in the External Services tab and in Transaction Traces.
Bug Fixes
Record exceptions outside of view handlers in Django 1.10
Unhandled exceptions that occurred outside of a view handler in Django 1.10 were not reported. In addition to middleware exceptions, these unhandled exceptions can be generated when a view handler returns a TemplateResponse and rendering that template would result in an exception.
Consistent WSGI/Application and WSGI/Response segments
Prior to this release, the agent would group segments under
WSGI/ApplicationandWSGI/Responsedifferently, depending on whether or not browser monitoring was enabled. This has now been made consistent.Improved New Relic WSGI middleware behavior
The New Relic agent is now resilient when called by non-conforming middleware. Transactions will continue to be reported normally when the New Relic agent is called by WSGI middleware that does not call the close() method as described in the PEP 333 specification.
