The Sentry SDK team is happy to announce the immediate availability of Sentry Go SDK v0.20.0.

Note: this release has some breaking changes, which are listed below.

Breaking Changes

• Remove the following methods: Scope.SetTransaction(), Scope.Transaction() (#605)

  Span.Name should be used instead to access the transaction's name.

  For example, the following TracesSampler function should be now written as follows:

  Before:

  TracesSampler: func(ctx sentry.SamplingContext) float64 {
    hub := sentry.GetHubFromContext(ctx.Span.Context())
    if hub.Scope().Transaction() == "GET /health" {
      return 0
    }
    return 1
  },

  After:

  TracesSampler: func(ctx sentry.SamplingContext) float64 {
    if ctx.Span.Name == "GET /health" {
      return 0
    }
    return 1
  },
