@getsentry-bot getsentry-bot released this 15 Apr 16:25

This is the first beta release of Sentry JavaScript SDK v8. With this release, there are no more planned breaking
changes for the v8 cycle.

Read the in-depth migration guide to find out how to address any breaking changes in your code. All
deprecations from the v7 cycle, with the exception of getCurrentHub(), have been removed and can no longer be used in v8.

Version Support

The Sentry JavaScript SDK v8 now supports Node.js 14.8.0 or higher. This applies to @sentry/node and all of our
node-based server-side sdks (@sentry/nextjs, @sentry/remix, etc.).

The browser SDKs now require
ES2018+
compatible browsers. New minimum browser versions:

  • Chrome 63
  • Edge 79
  • Safari/iOS Safari 12
  • Firefox 58
  • Opera 50
  • Samsung Internet 8.2

For more details, please see the version support section in migration guide.

Package removal

The following packages will no longer be published

Initializing Server-side SDKs (Node, Bun, Next.js, SvelteKit, Astro, Remix):

Initializing the SDKs on the server-side has been simplified. See more details in our migration docs about
initializing the SDK in v8.

Performance Monitoring Changes

The API around performance monitoring and tracing has been vastly improved, and we've added support for more
integrations out of the box.

Important Changes since v8.0.0-alpha.9

  • feat(browser): Create spans as children of root span by default (#10986)

Because execution context isolation in browser environments does not work reliably, we deciced to keep a flat span
hierarchy by default in v8.

  • feat(core): Deprecate addTracingExtensions (#11579)

Instead of calling Sentry.addTracingExtensions() if you want to use performance in a browser SDK without using
browserTracingIntegration(), you should now call Sentry.registerSpanErrorInstrumentation().

  • feat(core): Implement suppressTracing (#11468)

You can use the new suppressTracing API to ensure a given callback will not generate any spans:

return Sentry.suppressTracing(() => {
  // Ensure this fetch call does not generate a span
  return fetch('/my-url');
});
  • feat: Rename ESM loader hooks to import and loader (#11498)

We renamed the loader hooks for better clarity:

# For Node.js <= 18.18.2
node --loader=@sentry/node/loader app.js

# For Node.js >= 18.19.0
node --import=@sentry/node/import app.js
  • feat(node): Do not exit process by default when other onUncaughtException handlers are registered in
    onUncaughtExceptionIntegration (#11532)

In v8, we will no longer exit the node process by default if other uncaught exception handlers have been registered by
the user.

  • Better handling of transaction name for errors

We improved the way we keep the transaction name for error events, even when spans are not sampled or performance is
disabled.

  • feat(fastify): Update scope transactionName when handling request (#11447)
  • feat(hapi): Update scope transactionName when handling request (#11448)
  • feat(koa): Update scope transactionName when creating router span (#11476)
  • feat(sveltekit): Update scope transactionName when handling server-side request (#11511)
  • feat(nestjs): Update scope transaction name with parameterized route (#11510)
