* Added support for W3C Trace Context, with easy upgrade from New Relic trace
  context.
* Distributed Tracing now supports W3C Trace Context headers for HTTP protocols
  when distributed tracing is enabled. Our implementation can accept and emit both
  the W3C trace header format and the New Relic trace header format. This simplifies
  agent upgrades, allowing trace context to be propagated between services with older
  and newer releases of New Relic agents. W3C trace header format will always be
  accepted and emitted. New Relic trace header format will be accepted, and you can
  optionally disable emission of the New Relic trace header format.
* When distributed tracing is enabled with ,
  the Node agent will now accept W3C's  and  headers when
  calling  or automatically via
   instrumentation. When calling ,
  or automatically via  instrumentation, the Node agent will include the W3C
  headers along with the New Relic distributed tracing header. Unless the New Relic
  trace header format is disabled using .

* Pins Node 12 version to  to avoid breakages with  until cause(s)
  resolved.

Ensuring that errors throw in sync lambdas generate error events

* Added  API for accepting both
  New Relic and W3C TraceContext distributed traces.

  Deprecated  which will be removed

* Added  API for adding outbound
  distributed trace headers. Both W3C TraceContext and New Relic formats will be
  included unless .

  Deprecated  which will be removed
  in a future major release.
