  • Important Notes and Breaking Changes:

    • The new PVM metrics reported from Python agent requires SkyWalking OAP v9.3.0 to show out-of-the-box.
    • BREAKING: Python 3.6 is no longer supported and may not function properly, Python 3.11 support is added and tested.
    • BREAKING: A number of common configuration options and environment variables are renamed to follow the convention of Java agent, please check with the latest official documentation before upgrading. (#273, #282) https://skywalking.apache.org/docs/skywalking-python/v1.0.0/en/setup/configuration/
    • BREAKING: All agent core capabilities are now covered by test cases and enabled by default (Trace, Log, PVM runtime metrics, Profiler)
    • BREAKING: DockerHub Python agent images since v1.0.0 will no longer include the run part in ENTRYPOINT ["sw-python", "run"], user should prefix their command with [-d/--debug] run [-p/--prefork] <Command> for extra flexibility.
