Java agent v6.1.0

Improvements

Java 15

• The New Relic Java agent is now fully compatible with version 15 of the OpenJDK and Hotspot JDKs.

APIs

• New Segment.addCustomAttribute(...) APIs have been added for adding attributes directly to spans.
• Newrelic.addCustomParameter API now supports boolean values

Fixes

• The agent would try to read environment variables using system-property syntax. It will now log the correct syntax and ignore the incorrect value.

Notes

• The Java agent now includes the newrelic.com SSL certificate. In previous agent versions, applications using a custom Truststore would have to provide their certificate or use the use_private_ssl configuration which was removed in 6.0.0.
• Fixed an issue where applications could fail to start due to the agent attempting to access the JMX MBean server before it was initialized.
