This release fixes a long-standing bug in the shortening logic that prevented it from fully shortening error reports that are two large. Because this can (and most likely will) change what data is reported to the Rollbar platform, we are releasing this as an alpha. We recommend testing it and adjusting the defaults for local variable shortening as needed.

You can fine tune the local sizes by changing the values from the defaults as shown here:

import rollbar

rollbar.init(
    '<your token>',
    '<your environment>',
    locals={
        'sizes': {
            'maxlevel': 5,
            'maxdict': 10,
            'maxlist': 10,
            'maxtuple': 10,
            'maxset': 10,
            'maxfrozenset': 10,
            'maxdeque': 10,
            'maxarray': 10,
            'maxstring': 100,
            'maxlong': 40,
            'maxother': 100,
        }
    }
)

What's Changed

• Fixed shortener multi-level shortening by @danielmorell and @pawelsz-rb in #449

Full Changelog: v1.0.0...v1.0.0-alpha

PyRollbar 1.0.0 is stable! A big thank you to every one of the amazing contributors who helped get us to this point!

Performance Improvements

Some of the major work has been on making performance improvements to the more data intensive parts of the package. There should be some improvements across the board, however some exciting new performance features include:

• A new HTTP transfer mechanism that uses a pool of background worker threads to transmit logs and reports to the Rollbar system. You can enable it with the following...

  rollbar.init('<token>', '<env>', handler='thread_pool')
  # Optionally include `thread_pool_workers` to set the number of worker threads.

• Improved data sanitization and serialization with a batched transform. This can be enabled by setting rollbar.init(..., batch_transforms=True).

  rollbar.init('<token>', '<env>', batch_transforms=True)

Note: performance may vary. For example, the async or another handler may perform better for your environment and workload. We strongly recommend testing before adopting.

Removed Python 2

In version 1.0.0 we have removed support for Python 2. This opens up the opportunity to embrace the ever-improving world of Python 3. If you still require support for Python 2 you should use v0.16.x; it is stable and will continue to receive security fixes for at least another year.

Full Changelog: v1.0.0beta0...v1.0.0beta1

In v1.0.0 we will be removing support for Python 2. There are also a number of bug fixes and other small improvements. Removing the support for Python 2 reduced function calls and memory allocations allowing our data collection, cleaning, and serialization to be around 18% percent faster in benchmarks.
