Upgrading

edit

Be aware that this release changes the agent’s general approach to instrumenting third party libraries. It now uses Module#prepend over alias method chaining.

This doesn’t necessarily impact your application but it could if you are using other gems that use the old approach to patch the same method. Mixing the two approaches can lead to infinite recursion.
