Version 2.4.0-beta1

• BASE: Event telemetry is set to be sampled separately from all other telemetry types. It potentially can double the bill. The reason for this change is that Events are mostly used for usage analysis and should not be subject to sampling on high load of requests and dependencies. Edit ApplicationInsights.config file to revert to the previous behavior.
• BASE: Added dependency on System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticsSource package. It is still possible to use standalone Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll to track telemetry.
• BASE: StartOperation starts a new System.Diagnostics.Activity and stores operation context in it. StartOperation overwrites OperationTelemetry.Id set before or during telemetry initialization for the dependency correlation purposes.
• BASE: OperationCorrelationTelemetryInitializer initializes telemetry from the Activity.Current. Please refer to https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/blob/master/src/System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource/src/ActivityUserGuide.md for more details about Activity and how to use it

• BASE: Added constructor overloads for TelemetryConfiguration and added creation of a default InMemoryChannel when no channel is specified for a new instance. TelemetryClient will no longer create an InMemoryChannel on the configuration instance if TelemetryChannel is null, instead the configuration instances will always have a channel when created.
• BASE: TelemetryConfiguration will no longer dispose of user provided ITelemetryChannel instances. Users must properly dispose of any channel instances which they create, the configuration will only auto-dispose of default channel instances it creates when none are specified by the user.

Version 2.3.0-beta1

• BASE: Added metric aggregation functionality via MetricManager and Metric classes.
• BASE: Exposed a source field on RequestTelemetry. This can be used to store a representation of the component that issued the incoming http request.

• BASE: Dependency type was updated to reflect the latest developments in Application Insights Application Map feature. You can set a new field - Target. CommandName was renamed to Data for consistency with the Application Analytics schema. DependencyKind will never be send any more and will not be set to "Other" by default. Also there are two more constructors for DependencyTelemetry item.
• BASE: Type SessionStateTelemetry was marked obsolete. Use IsFirst flag in SessionContext to indicate that the session is just started.
• BASE: Type PerformanceCounterTelemetry was marked obsolete. Use MetricTelemetry instead.
• BASE: Marked RequestTelemetry.HttpMethod as obsolete. Put http verb as part of the name for the better grouping by name and use custom properties to report http verb as a dimension.

• BASE: TelemetryClient has a new method TrackAvailability. Data posted using this method would be available in AppAnalitics only, Azure portal UI is not available at this moment.

Version 2.2.0-beta1

• BASE: Add ExceptionTelemetry.Message property. If it is provided it is used instead of Exception.Message property for the outer-most exception.
• BASE: Telemetry types can be excluded from sampling by specifing ExcludedTypes property.
• BASE: ServerTelemetryChannel: changed backoff logic to be less aggressive, added diagnostics event when backoff logic kicks in and added more tracing. (Done to address issues when data stops flowing till application gets restarted)

• BASE: If ServerTelemetryChannel is initialized programmatically it is required to call ServerTelemetryChannel.Initialize() method. Otherwise persistent storage will not be initialized (that means that if telemetry cannot be sent because of temporary connectivity issues it will be dropped).
• BASE: ServerTelemetryChannel has new property StorageFolder that can be set either through code or though configuration. If this property is set ApplicationInsights uses provided location to store telemetry that was not sent because of temporary connectivity issues. If property is not set or provided folder is inaccessible ApplicationInsights will try to use LocalAppData or Temp as it was done before.
• BASE: TelemetryConfiguration.GetTelemetryProcessorChainBuilder extension method is removed. Instead of this method use TelemetryConfiguration.TelemetryProcessorChainBuilder instance method.
• BASE: TelemetryConfiguration has a new property TelemetryProcessors that gives readonly access to TelemetryProcessors collection.
• BASE: Use, UseSampling and UseAdaptiveSampling preserves TelemetryProcessors loaded from configuration.

Version 2.0.0-beta3

• BASE: Adaptive sampling turned on by default in server telemetry channel. Details can be found in #80.
• BASE: Fixed signature of UseSampling to allow chaining with other calls to Use of telemetry processors.
• BASE: Property Request.ID returned back. OperationContext now has a property ParentId for end-to-end correlation.
• BASE: TimestampTelemetryInitializer is removed. Timestamp will be added automatically by TelemetryClient.
• BASE: OperationCorrelationTelemetryInitializer is added by default to enable operaitons correlation.

Version 2.0.0-beta2

• BASE: Property Name of OperationContext was renamed to RootName
• BASE: Property Id of RequestTelemetry was removed.
• BASE: Property Id and Context.Operation.Id of RequestTelemetry would not be initialized when creating new RequestTelemetry.
• BASE: New properties of OperationContext: CorrelationVector, ParentId and RootId to support end-to-end telemetry items correlation.

Version 2.0.0-beta1

• BASE: TrackDependency will produce valid JSON when not all required fields were specified.
• BASE: Redundant property RequestTelemetry.ID is now just a proxy for RequestTelemetry.Operation.Id.

Version 1.2

• BASE: First version shipped from github

Version 1.1

• BASE: SDK now introduces new telemetry type DependencyTelemetry which contains information about dependency call from application
• BASE: New method TelemetryClient.TrackDependency allows to send information about dependency calls from application

Version 0.17

• BASE: Application Insights now distributes separate binaries for framework 4.0 and 4.5. Library for the framework 4.5 will not require EventSource and BCL nuget dependencies. You need to ensure you refer the correct library in packages.config. It should be <package id="Microsoft.ApplicationInsights" version="0.17.*" targetFramework="net45" />
• BASE: Diagnostics telemetry module is not registered in ApplicationInsights.config and no self-diagnostics messages will be sent to portal for non-web applications. Insert <Add Type="Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.Implementation.Tracing.DiagnosticsTelemetryModule, Microsoft.ApplicationInsights" /> to <TelemetryModules> node to get SDK self-diagnostics messages from your application.
• BASE: ApplicationInsights.config file search order was changed. File from the bin/ folder will no longer be used even if exists for the web applications.
• BASE: Nullable properties are now supported in ApplicationInsights.config.
• BASE: DeveloperMode property of ITelemetryChannel interface became a nullable bool.

Version 0.16

• BASE: SDK now supports dnx target platform to enable monitoring of .NET Core framework applications.
• BASE: Instance of TelemetryClient do not cache Instrumentation Key anymore. Now if instrumentation key wasn't set to TelemetryClient explicitly InstrumentationKey will return null. It fixes an issue when you set TelemetryConfiguration.Active.InstrumentationKey after some telemetry was already collected, telemetry modules like dependency collector, web requests data collection and performance counters collector will use new instrumentation key.

Version 0.15

• BASE: New property Operation.SyntheticSource now available on TelemetryContext. Now you can mark your telemetry items as �not a real user traffic� and specify how this traffic was generated. As an example by setting this property you can distinguish traffic from your test automation from load test traffic.
• BASE: Channel logic was moved to the separate NuGet called Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.PersistenceChannel. Default channel is now called InMemoryChannel
• BASE: New method TelemetryClient.Flush allows to flush telemetry items from the buffer synchronously

Now now status code will be reported.

Version 2.0.0-beta4

Web:

• WEB: WebApps AlwaysOn requests with ResponseCode less than 400 will be filtered out.
• WEB: User agent and request handler filters can be configured.

Spiral of death is a condition when spike in telemetry items count that greatly exceeds throttling limit on endpoint will lead to retry after certain time and will be throttled during retry again.
• WEB: Developer Mode is optimized for production. If left by mistake it will not cause as big overhead as before attempting to output additional information.
• WEB: Developer Mode by default will only be enabled when application is under debugger. You can override it using DeveloperMode property of ITelemetryChannel interface.
