8.41.0

Features

• Session Replay: experimental support for capturing SurfaceView content (e.g. Unity, video players, maps) (#5333)
  • To enable, set options.sessionReplay.isCaptureSurfaceViews = true
  • Or via manifest: <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.session-replay.capture-surface-views" android:value="true" />
  • Warning: masking granularity is at the SurfaceView level only — the SDK cannot mask individual elements rendered inside the SurfaceView (e.g. native Unity UI, map labels, video frames). Only enable for SurfaceViews whose content is safe to record.
• Add Sentry.feedback() API for show() and capture() (#5349)
  • Sentry.showUserFeedbackDialog() is deprecated in favor of Sentry.feedback().show()
  • Sentry.captureFeedback() is deprecated in favor of Sentry.feedback().capture()
  • Sentry.captureUserFeedback() and UserFeedback are deprecated in favor of Sentry.feedback().capture() with the new Feedback type
  • SentryUserFeedbackDialog is deprecated in favor of SentryUserFeedbackForm
  • All deprecated APIs will be removed in the next major version
• Deprecate SentryUserFeedbackButton (View-based and Compose-based) (#5350)
  • It will be removed in the next major version
• Add per-form shake-to-show support for SentryUserFeedbackForm (#5353)
  • Useful for enabling shake-to-report on specific screens instead of globally

  SentryUserFeedbackForm.Builder(activity)
    .configurator { it.isUseShakeGesture = true }
    .create()

• Add support for Kafka (#5249)
  • You will need to add the sentry-kafka dependency and opt-in via the new option.
    • Set options.setEnableQueueTracing(true) on Sentry.init
    • Or set sentry.enable-queue-tracing=true in application.properties
  • For Spring Boot Kafka is auto instrumented and no further configuration is needed.
    • also see https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/java/guides/spring-boot/integrations/kafka/
  • When using kafka-clients directly
    • you need to wrap your KafkaProducer via SentryKafkaProducer.wrap(kafkaProducer) to get queue.publish spans
    • and you may use our SentryKafkaConsumerTracing.withTracing helper to instrument the consumer side manually.
    • also see https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/java/integrations/kafka/

8.38.0

Features

• Prevent cross-organization trace continuation (#5136)
  • By default, the SDK now extracts the organization ID from the DSN (e.g. o123.ingest.sentry.io) and compares it with the sentry-org_id value in incoming baggage headers. When the two differ, the SDK starts a fresh trace instead of continuing the foreign one. This guards against accidentally linking traces across organizations.
  • New option enableStrictTraceContinuation (default false): when enabled, both the SDK's org ID and the incoming baggage org ID must be present and match for a trace to be continued. Traces with a missing org ID on either side are rejected. Configurable via code (setStrictTraceContinuation(true)), sentry.properties (enable-strict-trace-continuation=true), Android manifest (io.sentry.strict-trace-continuation.enabled), or Spring Boot (sentry.strict-trace-continuation=true).
  • New option orgId: allows explicitly setting the organization ID for self-hosted and Relay setups where it cannot be extracted from the DSN. Configurable via code (setOrgId("123")), sentry.properties (org-id=123), Android manifest (io.sentry.org-id), or Spring Boot (sentry.org-id=123).
• Android: Attachments on the scope will now be synced to native (#5211)
• Add THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md for vendored third-party code, bundled as SENTRY_THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md in the sentry JAR under META-INF (#5186)

Improvements

• Do not retrieve ActivityManager if API < 35 on SDK init (#5275)

8.37.1

Fixes

• Fix deadlock in SentryContextStorage.root() with virtual threads and OpenTelemetry agent (#5234)

8.37.0

Fixes

• Session Replay: Fix Compose text masking mismatch with weighted text (#5218)

Features

• Add cache tracing instrumentation for Spring Boot 2, 3, and 4 (#5165)
  • Wraps Spring CacheManager and Cache beans to produce cache spans
  • Set sentry.enable-cache-tracing to true to enable this feature
• Add JCache (JSR-107) cache tracing via new sentry-jcache module (#5165)
  • Wraps JCache Cache with SentryJCacheWrapper to produce cache spans
  • Set the enableCacheTracing option to true to enable this feature
• Add configurable IScopesStorageFactory to SentryOptions for providing a custom IScopesStorage, e.g. when the default ThreadLocal-backed storage is incompatible with non-pinning thread models (#5199)
• Android: Add beforeErrorSampling callback to Session Replay (#5214)
  • Allows filtering which errors trigger replay capture before the onErrorSampleRate is checked
  • Returning false skips replay capture entirely for that error; returning true proceeds with the normal sample rate check
  • Example usage:

    SentryAndroid.init(context) { options ->
        options.sessionReplay.beforeErrorSampling =
            SentryReplayOptions.BeforeErrorSamplingCallback { event, hint ->
                // Only capture replay for crashes (excluding e.g. handled exceptions)
                event.isCrashed
            }
    }

8.36.0 (Stable)

Features

• Show feedback form on device shake (#5150)
  • Enable via options.getFeedbackOptions().setUseShakeGesture(true) or manifest meta-data io.sentry.feedback.use-shake-gesture
  • Uses the device's accelerometer — no special permissions required

Fixes

  • changelog
  • diff

8.35.0 (Stable)

Fixes

• Android: Remove the dependency on protobuf-lite for tombstones (#5157)

Features

• Add new experimental option to capture profiles for ANRs (#4899)
  • This feature will capture a stack profile of the main thread when it gets unresponsive
  • The profile gets attached to the ANR event on the next app start, providing a flamegraph of the ANR issue on the sentry issue details page
  • Enable via options.setAnrProfilingSampleRate(<sample-rate>) or AndroidManifest.xml: <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.anr.profiling.sample-rate" android:value="[0.0-1.0]" />
  • The sample rate controls the probability of collecting a profile for each detected foreground ANR (0.0 to 1.0, null to disable)

Behavioral Changes

• Add enableAnrFingerprinting option which assigns static fingerprints to ANR events with system-only stacktraces
  • When enabled, ANRs whose stacktraces contain only system frames (e.g. java.lang or android.os) are grouped into a single issue instead of creating many separate issues
  • This will help to reduce overall ANR issue noise in the Sentry dashboard
  • IMPORTANT: This option is enabled by default.
  • Disable via options.setEnableAnrFingerprinting(false) or AndroidManifest.xml: <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.anr.enable-fingerprinting" android:value="false" />

8.34.1 (Stable)

Fixes

• Common: Finalize previous session even when auto session tracking is disabled (#5154)
• Android: Add filterTouchesWhenObscured to prevent Tapjacking on user feedback dialog (#5155)
• Android: Add proguard rules to prevent error about missing Replay classes (#5153)
