Breaking changes:
- When built as a shared library for Android or Linux, the Native SDK limits the export of symbols to the
sentry_
-prefix. The optionSENTRY_EXPORT_SYMBOLS
is no longer available and the linker settings are constrained to the Native SDK and no longerPUBLIC
to parent projects. (#363)
Features:
- A session may be ended with a different status code. (#801)
Fixes:
- Switch Crashpad transport on Linux to use libcurl (#803, crashpad#75, crashpad#79)
- Avoid accidentally mutating CONTEXT when client-side stack walking in Crashpad (#803, crashpad#77)
- Fix various mingw compilation issues (#794, crashpad#78)
Internal:
- Updated Crashpad backend to 2023-02-07. (#803, crashpad#80)
- CI: Updated GitHub Actions to test on LLVM-mingw. (#797)
- Updated Breakpad backend to 2023-02-08. (#805, breakpad#34)
- Updated libunwindstack to 2023-02-09. (#807, libunwindstack-ndk#7)

Features, fixes and improvements in this release have been contributed by:
Fixes:
- Better error messages in
sentry_transport_curl
. (#777) - Increased curl headers buffer size to 512 (in
sentry_transport_curl
). (#784) - Fix sporadic crash on Windows due to race condition when initializing background-worker thread-id. (#785)
- Open the database file-lock on "UNIX" with
O_RDRW
(#791)
Internal:

- Crashpad on Windows now supports
fast-fail
crashes via a registered Windows Error Reporting (WER) module. (#735)
Fixes:

- Be more defensive around transactions (#757)
- Added a CI timeout for the Android simulator start. (#764)
Features:
- Provide
on_crash()
callback to allow clients to act on detected crashes. Users often inquired about distinguishing between crashes and "normal" events in thebefore_send()
hook.on_crash()
can be considered a replacement forbefore_send()
for crash events, where the goal is to usebefore_send()
only for normal events, whileon_crash()
is only invoked for crashes. This change is backward compatible for current users ofbefore_send()
and allows gradual migration toon_crash()
(see the docs for details). (#724, #734)
Fixes:
- Make Windows ModuleFinder more resilient to missing Debug Info (#732)
- Aligned pre-send event processing in
sentry_capture_event()
with the cross-SDK session filter order (#729) - Align the default value initialization for the
environment
payload attribute with the developer documentation (#739) - Iterate all debug directory entries when parsing PE modules for a valid CodeView record (#740)

- Removed the
SENTRY_PERFORMANCE_MONITORING
compile flag requirement to access performance monitoring in the Sentry SDK. Performance monitoring is now available to everybody who has opted into the experimental API. - New API to check whether the application has crashed in the previous run:
sentry_get_crashed_last_run()
andsentry_clear_crashed_last_run()
(#685). - Allow overriding the SDK name at build time - set the
SENTRY_SDK_NAME
CMake cache variable. - More aggressively prune the Crashpad database. (#698)
Internal:
- Project IDs are now treated as opaque strings instead of integer values. (#690)
- Updated Breakpad and Crashpad backends to 2022-04-12. (#696)
Fixes:
- Updated CI as well as list of supported platforms to reflect Windows Server 2016, and therefore MSVC 2017 losing active support.
- Correctly free Windows Mutexes in Crashpad backend.
Thank you:
Features, fixes and improvements in this release have been contributed by:
Fixes:
- Fix contexts from the scope not being attached to events correctly.
- Improve performance of event serialization.
Features:
- The Sentry SDK now has experimental support for performance monitoring.
The performance monitoring API allows manually creating transactions and instrumenting spans, and offers APIs for distributed tracing.
The API is currently disabled by default and needs to be enabled via a compile-time
SENTRY_PERFORMANCE_MONITORING
flag. For more information, take a look at the more detailed documentation of performance monitoring. - Sentry now has an explicit
sentry_flush
method that blocks the calling thread for the given time, waiting for the transport queue to be flushed. Custom transports need to implement a newflush_hook
for this to work.
Fixes:
- Fix Sentry API deadlocking when the SDK was not initialized (or
sentry_init
failed). - The rate limit handling of the default transports was updated to match the expected behavior.
- The Windows OS version is now read from the Registry and is more accurate.
- The
SENTRY_LIBRARY_TYPE
CMake option is now correctly honored. - The Linux Modulefinder was once again improved to increase its memory safety and reliability.

- Build fixes for MinGW and better documentation for universal MacOS builds.
- Crashes captured by the
crashpad
backend after callingsentry_shutdown
will now have the full metadata.
Thank you:
Features, fixes and improvements in this release have been contributed by:
Caution:
- The representation of
sentry_value_t
was changed to avoid problems with the newly introduced Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) on ARM / Android. Implementation details ofsentry_value_t
were never considered public, and it should always be treated as an opaque type.
Fixes:
- Fix corrupted breadcrumb data when using the crashpad backend on Windows.
- Avoid sending empty envelopes when using the crashpad backend.
- Correctly encode the signal number when using the Windows inproc backend, avoiding a processing Error.

Thank you:
Features, fixes and improvements in this release have been contributed by:
Fixes:
- Sampled (discarded) events still contribute to a sessions
errors
count. - Initialize all static data structures.
Fixes:
- Fix parsing rate limit headers with multiple categories.
Breaking Changes:
- The minimum CMake version required to build on windows was raised to
3.16.4
to avoid potential build failures on older versions. - The
sentry_get_options
function was removed, as it was unsafe to use after asentry_shutdown
call. - The
sentry_options_set_logger
function now accepts auserdata
parameter. - The
name
parameter ofsentry_options_add_attachment(w)
was removed, it will now be inferred from the filename ofpath
. - The transport startup hook that is set via
sentry_transport_set_startup_func
now needs to return anint
, and a failure will propagate tosentry_init
. - The return value of the transport shutdown hook set via
sentry_transport_set_shutdown_func
was also changed to return anint
. - Both functions should return 0 on success, and a non-zero error code on failure, as does
sentry_init
. - Similarly, the return value of
sentry_shutdown
was also changed to anint
, and will return 0 on success and a non-zero error code on unclean shutdown. - Documentation for custom transports was updated to highlight the ordering requirements of submitted envelopes, which is important for release health.
// before
sentry_options_set_logger(options, my_custom_logger);
sentry_options_add_attachment(options, "some-attachment", "/path/to/some-attachment.txt");
void transport_startup(sentry_options_t *options, void*state) {
}
sentry_transport_set_startup_func(transport, transport_startup);
bool transport_shutdown(uint64_t timeout, void*state) {
return true;
}
sentry_transport_set_shutdown_func(transport, transport_shutdown);

sentry_transport_set_startup_func(transport, transport_startup);
int transport_shutdown(uint64_t timeout, void*state) {
return 0;
}
sentry_transport_set_shutdown_func(transport, transport_shutdown);
Features:
- Release Health support is now stable and enabled by default. After the update, you will see the number of crash free sessions and crash free users on the Releases page in Sentry. To disable automatic session tracking, use
sentry_options_set_auto_session_tracking
. - Breakpad support for Windows. This allows you to use
sentry-native
even on Windows XP! (#278) - Add an in-process backend for Windows. As opposed to Breakpad, stack traces are generated on the device and sent to Sentry for symbolication. (#287)
- Support for the Crashpad backend was fixed and enabled for Linux. (#320)
- A new
SENTRY_BREAKPAD_SYSTEM
CMake option was added to link to the system-installed breakpad client instead of building it as part of sentry.

sentry_backend_t
type was removed. - The
sentry_transport_t
type is now opaque. Use the following new API to create a custom transport.
sentry_transport_new
sentry_transport_set_state
sentry_transport_set_free_func
sentry_transport_set_startup_func
sentry_transport_set_shutdown_func
See sentry.h
for more documentation.
sentry_new_function_transport

sentry_clear_modulecache
function to clear the list of loaded modules. Use this function when dynamically loading libraries at runtime.
- Implement experimental Session handling
- Implement more fine grained Rate Limiting for HTTP requests
- Implement
sample_rate
option - In-process and Breakpad backend will not lose events queued for HTTP submission on crash

instead of a platform specific type. -
sentry_remove_context
: The second parameter was removed. -
sentry_options_set_transport
: This function now takes a pointer to the newsentry_transport_t
type. Migrating from the old API can be done by wrapping withsentry_new_function_transport
, like this:sentry_options_set_transport( options, sentry_new_function_transport(send_envelope_func, &closure_data));
