• The agent logger would sometimes throw a NullPointerException
• The agent would stop reporting Kafka metrics when one or more clients where closed

Deprecated

• Jar Collector system properties prefixed with newrelic.config.module and environment variables prefixed with NEW_RELIC_MODULE are deprecated and will be removed in a future agent release. Instead use the newrelic.config.jar_collector and NEW_RELIC_JAR_COLLECTOR prefixes.
