Release

The latest build fixes minor bugs and also includes the following new features:

Introducing user impact threshold filtering to make alerts more actionable

When configuring frequently occurring error notifications, you can now filter them by user impact thresholds so that you only get alerted when an error impacts a certain number of users in a timeframe, such as 100 users in an hour.

User thresholds filters are available to configure notifications for email, Slack, and other team chat integrations. They can also be applied to automatic issue creation rules for Jira and other issue trackers.

Introducing a new issue tracker integration with Linear

We’re excited to introduce an integration with Linear, allowing teams to automatically create issues in Linear from Bugsnag to manage bug fixes and streamline debugging workflows.

You can configure an integration with Linear in Project Settings > Issue tracker. Learn more about issue tracker integrations in our docs.

Unity Windows and WebGL improvements & EDM4U support

We’ve released more updates to our Unity notifier.

C# events and exceptions raised while the device is disconnected from the internet are now persisted until connection is restored.

Similarly, when running on Windows or WebGL, events and sessions will persist until a connection is available and the device ID will persist between game launches.

Our packages also now support External Dependency Manager for Unity (EDM4U).

Elasticsearch Log4j mitigation

This release updates the Elasticsearch service included as part of the Bugsnag installation to 7.16.3. This version includes Log4j 2.17.1 which mitigates CVE-2021-44832 and CVE-2021-45105.

Release

The previous release v3.2111.1 and v4.2111.2 mitigates CVE-2021-44228 (log4j remote command execution) and CVE-2021-45046 (log4j DOS) vulnerabilities in line with Elasticsearch guidance.

Customers who wish to also remove the class that contains the affected code (JndiLookup) can upgrade to this release.

We anticipate making a further release in January to include an updated version of Elasticsearch when it is available.

Release

Mitigates CVE-2021-44228 (log4j remote command execution) vulnerability

Important Note:

The Elasticsearch service included as part of the Busgnag installation may be vulnerable to CVE-2021-44228 (log4j remote command execution) prior to this release, as input to the Bugsnag services could potentially be logged to the Elasticsearch slow log and therefore a crafted input string could be used to exploit the log4j vulnerability. We believe the risk to your Bugsnag installation is low as an exploit is only possible if the attacker has access to the Bugsnag On-Premise services. However, we recommend that you upgrade your installation as soon as possible, and if not already done restrict access to your Bugsnag services (see guidance here).

Release

The latest build fixes minor bugs.

Release

Fixes performance regression of handling larger payloads

Release

The latest build fixes minor bugs and also includes the following new features:

Schedule services via node selector

You can now specify where Bugsnag pods are scheduled in your cluster by configuring node selector labels under Kubernetes > Pod scheduling, once configured you will need to add the corresponding labels to the nodes in your cluster to ensure that Bugsnag pods are scheduled correctly. This is only available in Clustered.

Diagnose and fix errors caused by memory pressure in Android apps

We’ve made enhancements to the memory diagnostics we capture for errors in Android apps, including total memory, free memory, memory usage, memory limit, low memory, and memory trim level. Understanding the memory pressure leading up to a crash and the overall memory health of a device can help you prioritize and fix errors caused by memory pressure with speed and precision.

Read our blog to learn more and upgrade to the latest version of our Android notifier to start capturing these memory diagnostics.

Gain visibility into thread states for errors in Android and iOS apps

Streamline investigation into your most complex errors by understanding the state of each thread at the time the error occurred in your Android or iOS app. Errors captured in Android apps will now also include NDK thread states in addition to the existing JVM threads.

Upgrade to the latest version of our Android and iOS notifiers to see new thread state information.

Capture thermal kills and gain insights into thermal states for errors in iOS apps

If the user’s device is overheating, sometimes the OS can shut down the phone or kill apps and processes that are using too much CPU so that the device can cool down.

Bugsnag now captures thermal kills to provide visibility and diagnostics into these issues. Additionally, new breadcrumbs and thermal state metadata provide further insight so you can streamline investigation and debugging.

Upgrade to the latest version of our iOS notifier to take advantage of these enhancements.

Streamline investigation and debugging with network request breadcrumbs for errors in Android and iOS apps

Breadcrumbs will now be automatically captured to provide visibility into network requests that your app made in the run up to an error and how long these requests took. These diagnostics can help you understand if failed or slow network requests are causing errors so you can streamline investigation and debugging.

Upgrade to the latest version of our notifiers to see these additional breadcrumbs and see the Android and iOS docs for configuration instructions.

Streamline debugging with new UIScene breadcrumbs

You can now see scene state and scene lifecycle breadcrumbs for errors in iOS and iPadOS apps built with UIScene. These breadcrumbs log user actions leading up to an error to help you streamline investigation and debugging workflows.

Upgrade to the latest version of our iOS notifier to see these additional breadcrumbs.

Gain visibility into the stability of your app in daily and weekly summary emails

The daily and weekly summary emails provide an overview of important errors and team activity. Now, you can also see the app stability score and target indicators in these emails to help you gauge the current health of the app and progress against stability goals.

You have the flexibility to configure these emails to only notify you if the app’s stability is critical or below target. Ready our docs to learn more and get started in Settings under My email notifications.

Configure integrations via Bugsnag’s data access API

You can now configure integrations for your projects via Bugsnag’s data access API. This will help streamline the management of integrations such as Slack and Jira, especially for organizations with many projects.

Read our docs to get started.

Release

The latest build fixes minor bugs and also includes the following new features:

New Project Overview Dashboard

We’re excited to announce the Project Overview Dashboard, a brand new view that provides key project-level analytics and insights.

Gain actionable insights into app stability and user experience, customize error views to keep an eye on errors impacting segments that matter to you, see an activity feed of the team’s progress in triaging and fixing errors, and more.

Read our blog to learn more and see the new Project Overview by clicking on “Overview” from the navigation bar on any project.

Streamline workflows with new integration labels

You can now add a label for each integration in settings, which will then be displayed with the integration name everywhere else in Bugsnag and help distinguish one integration from another.

This is especially useful for organizations that have, for example, configured multiple Jira integrations with the same Jira project and need to distinguish between these integrations in the dropdown when creating new issues for errors.

You can configure the labels in integration settings.

Breadcrumbs for Python

We’ve added support for breadcrumbs to our Python notifier. Breadcrumbs record events that happen in the run up to an error, making it easier to reproduce and fix.

Breadcrumbs will be automatically captured for HTTP requests and other errors, plus you can add your own manual breadcrumbs. All Python frameworks are supported including Django and Flask.

Upgrade the notifier to the latest version to get started.

Pod runtime mode

We have added a configuration under Kubernetes > Pod runtime mode to configure whether pods should run as root or non root. We recommend not switching between the modes in an existing installation. This is only available in Clustered.

Release

The latest build fixes minor bugs and also includes the following new features:

Major version of Unity notifier

We've released a major version of our Unity notifier (v5) including several new features, reliability improvements, and bug fixes.

The update includes app hang detection and improved out of memory (OOM) detection on iOS, improved detection of jailbroken or rooted devices, and much more.

See the Unity upgrade guide to get started.

Introducing Bugsnag support for Electron apps

You can now use Bugsnag to manage the stability of your Electron apps. Today, we have full support for capturing JavaScript errors. We’re excited to share that support for native errors is coming this Summer.

Get started by reading our docs.

Manage bookmarks in Bugsnag’s data access API

We’ve added new capabilities to our data access API to allow you to manage bookmarks, which are a set of saved error filters. Bookmarks are useful for keeping an eye on an error segment and also for customizing alerts and integrations.

Read our docs to learn more about how to create, update, or delete bookmarks via the API.

See additional metadata for macOS apps

New metadata included in macOS error reports will help you identify if your app was running through Rosetta on a Mac with Apple Silicon, providing additional information to help you prioritize and fix errors.

Rosetta allows apps built for Intel processors to run on Apple Silicon. The new metadata is shown on the “App” tab:

• runningOnRosetta will be true when the app is running on Rosetta
• binaryArch will show the CPU architecture of the binary being run

Upgrade to the latest version of our macOS notifier to see the additional metadata.

Improved Cocoa NSError grouping

An improvement to our grouping algorithm for NSErrors from iOS, macOS, and tvOS apps is now available. The improvement will prevent over-grouping of NSErrors by additionally using the ‘domain’ for grouping.

If the grouping improvement applies to your project, it is now available as an upgrade in Project Settings > Group errors > Default grouping.

Enhanced monitoring for iOS apps running on macOS

Bugsnag now has full support for iOS apps running on macOS, either through Mac Catalyst or natively on Apple Silicon Macs.

Diagnostics for errors captured include the model of Mac the app was running on, the version of macOS, and the version of iOS that Mac Catalyst provides, so you can triage and resolve errors when your iOS app is running on a Mac.

Upgrade to the latest version of our iOS notifier to take advantage of these enhancements.

Filter for an empty field to streamline error investigation

When filtering through errors, you now have the ability to filter by the absence of a default or custom field, to help you streamline error investigation and debugging. This can be useful to isolate errors that don’t have a value for a particular field, for example, when investigating errors in feature flags, you can understand if these errors are occurring outside of feature flags too.

See the new [empty] filtering options in the search builder and pivot tables.

Dashboard performance improvements

We've made some changes to the dashboard to improve the performance.
