[v0.13.0] - 2019-10-02

Added

  • Introducing Breadcrumbs (#235)! After enabling in the config with breadcrumbs_enabled: true, just call Honeybadger.add_breadcrumb/2 anywhere in your code and if an error is reported in that process, the breadcrumb event will be passed along with the Notice.

Changed

  • Renamed Notifier to honeybadger-elixir and added language

[v0.12.1] - 2019-06-12

  • Added :revision configuration option
  • Automatically call Exception.blame/3 to record additional information in the exception

[v0.11.0] - 2019-02-28

When upgrading to v0.11, users should be aware of a few important changes:

  • You must be on Elixir 1.7+ and Erlang/OTP 21+
  • Due to the deprecation of System.stacktrace/0 and the introduction of __STACKTRACE__, manually calling Honeybadger.notify/3 will no longer include a stacktrace by default. See the issue discussion for more details
  • A stacktrace can be manually provided from within a rescue/catch block via the STACKTRACE macro, e.g. Honeybadger.notify(SomeError, %{my: :context}, __STACKTRACE__)

Changed

  • Switch from Erlang's :error_logger to an Elixir 1.7 and Erlang/OTP 21+ Logger backend. This provides more consistent error reporting and enhanced integration with Logger metadata.
  • Stop automatically extracting stacktraces for calls to Honeybadger.notice/3. The generated stacktrace was unreliably and frequently listed the Honeybadger reporter's internals, rather than application code. Manual calls to notice/3 should happen within a rescue/catch block and use the __STACKTRACE__ macro.

Added

  • Use Logger.metadata as the basis for Honeybadger context in all logger generated notices

Fixed

  • Fix Map.t() isn't a valid dialyzer type (#198)
  • Try to convert remote IP to string in case of parsing failure

[v0.10.3] - 2018-07-02

Fixed

  • Prevent crashes reporting :badmatch when fetching the current stacktrace from a dead process.
  • Updated dependencies.

[v0.10.2] - 2018-07-02

Fixed

  • Fix crashes caused by presence of structs in the context.

[v0.10.1] - 2018-06-27

Changed

  • Handle fetching peer info when using Plug 1.6. This is implemented in a backward compatible manner, so versions < 1.6 will continue to work.

Fixed

  • Fetch peer information for multiple plug versions
  • Bump phoenix from 1.3.2 to 1.3.3
  • Bump hackney from 1.12.1 to 1.13.0

[v0.10.0] - 2018-05-29

Changed

  • Replace Poison with Jason for JSON encoding.
  • Reduce the log level used for dev mode warning.
  • Update dependenices.

Fixed

JSON encoding error.

  • Send notifications even when the stacktrace isn't a list. Errors reported from the error logger can occasionally have a malformed stacktrace, which would raise another exception and prevent the notification from being sent.

[v0.9.0] - 2018-03-21

Changed

  • Use lazy logging within Honeybadger.Client, this allows compile time purging when the log level is set higher.

Fixed

  • Fix a regression which was causing Not Found (404) errors to be reported.
  • Fix an issue caused by hackney because of unread response bodies.

[v0.8.0] - 2018-01-17

Added

  • Include function arity in notice backtraces. For example, the reported method would be notify/3 instead of notify.
  • Include function arguments in notice backtraces. This is disabled by default, and can be enabled by setting filter_args to false in configuration.

Changed

Fixed

  • Safely convert binary :environment_name values to an atom. If the environment was specified via {:system, "HONEYBADGER_ENV"} and the HONEYBADGER_ENV value didn't already exist as an atom the app would fail to boot.
  • Ignore the absence of HONEYBADGER_API_KEY when running in an excluded env

[v0.7.0] - 2017-11-07

Added

  • Increases the logging around client activity (honeybadger-io/honeybadger-elixir#20).
  • Explicitly allow sending notices with strings and maps. For example, it is now possible to send a RuntimeError by calling Honeybadger.notify("oops!").
  • Added Honeybadger test mix task which can be invoked using mix honeybadger.test

Changed

  • Switch from GenEvent to implementing gen_event behaviour.
  • Remove error_logger backend on application stop.
  • Use the latest exception's stacktrace whenever notify is called from a try expression.
  • Namespace modules related to Filter and NoticeFilter. This is largely an internal restructuring, but any custom filters that used the Honeybadger.FilterMixin will need to specify Honeybadger.Filter.Mixin instead.
  • Drops HTTPoison in favor of directly using Hackney, which gives us access to a connection pool.
  • Drops Meck and stubbing in favor of a local cowboy server (honeybadger-io/honeybadger-elixir#7).
  • Starts a supervision tree with the client as a child.
  • Report the controller and action name as component and action for phoenix apps

Fixed

  • Filtering CGI data now respects the filter_disable_url setting. All path related fields (ORIGINAL_FULLPATH, QUERY_STRING, PATH_INFO) are filtered now.
  • Get the environment directly from Mix.env and always compare the environment names as atoms (honeybadger-io/honeybadger-elixir#94).
  • Changes notify from a macro to a function.
  • Stops spawning new tasks for every error, instead relying on async handling in the client (honeybadger-io/honeybadger-elixir#88).

[0.6.3] - 2017-05-04

Changed

  • Removes metrics reporting.

Fixed

  • Loosens httpoison dependency.
  • Misc. bug fixes.

[0.6.2] - 2016-10-24

Added

  • ability to customize error names/messages,

Fixed

  • stops plug error notifications from being sent twice
  • minor typo fixes
  • dependency updates

[0.6.1] - 2016-08-02

Fixed

  • Reformatting the plug environment data sent to Honeybadger.

[0.6.0] - 2016-07-22

Fixed

  • This release removes warnings for Elixir 1.3.0 and covers v1.4.0-dev as of 2016-07-22. There was also a switch to using :native FromUnits to match the Plug.Logger usage of :erlang.convert_time_unit. This maintains consistency between Honeybadger.Logger and Plug.Logger.

[0.5.0] - 2016-04-26

Added

  • Honeybadger now collects successful response times, aggregates them and sends them to the Honeybadger API! You can see request metric data from the metrics tab on Honeybadger.io!

[0.4.0] - 2016-02-23

Changed

  • Due to the Mix.env/0 function always being set to prod for dependencies and Mix being compiled out of applications by exrm, we now require you to explicitly declare your environment_name for every environment in your config.exs files.

    Example:
  # config/dev.exs
  config :honeybadger, environment_name: :dev

    Doing this will ensure you get accurate environment information for exceptions that happen at runtime as well as compile time. You can also set the environment_name setting a MIX_ENV environment variable.

    Example:
$ MIX_ENV=prod mix phoenix.server

    Note: setting environment_name in your config files takes higher precedence than the MIX_ENV environment variable.

[0.3.1] - 2016-02-04

Fixed

  • Fix a bug where notifications reported by the error_logger were not sending the the context
