.NET agent v8.16.567.0

Fixes

• CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) “pre-flight” requests with the HTTP OPTIONS method were causing extraneous metrics to be generated for ASP.NET Core applications using the CORS middleware. These requests will now be ignored by the agent.
• Fixes a problem where WCF instrumentation shuts down when WebHttpBinding is used and CAT is enabled.
• Fixes a problem where an async WCF client call may prevent further data from being captured in a transaction.

New Features

• Adds database instrumentation for Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.

Upgrading

• Follow standard procedures to update the .NET agent.
• If you are upgrading from a particularly old agent, review the list of major changes and procedures to upgrade legacy .NET agents.
