Features:

• The sentry_attach_file/bytes, sentry_scope_attach_file/bytes (and their wide-string variants), and sentry_remove_attachment have been added to modify the list of attachments that are sent along with sentry events after a call to sentry_init. (#1266, #1275)
  • NOTE: When using the crashpad backend on macOS, the list of attachments that will be added at the time of a hard crash will be frozen at the time of sentry_init, and later modifications will not be reflected.
• Add sentry_attachment_set_content_type to allow specifying the content type of attachments. (#1276)
• Add sentry_attachment_set_filename to allow specifying the filename of attachments displayed in the Sentry WebUI. (#1285)

Meta:

• Identify Xbox as a separate SDK name sentry.native.xbox. (#1287)

Internal:

• Updated breakpad to 2025-06-13. (#1277, breakpad#41)

Breaking changes:

• Limiting the proguard rules in the NDK package moves the burden of the configuration to its users. Please ensure to configure proguard in your project so native methods in your namespace can be symbolicated if they appear in stack traces. (#1250)
• When tags, contexts, and extra data are applied to events, the event data now takes precedence over the scope data as outlined in the Hub & Scope Refactoring developer document and the linked RFC code example. (#1253)

Features:

• Provide before_send_transaction callback. (#1236)
• Add support for capturing events with local scopes. (#1248)
• Add Windows support for the crashpad_wait_for_upload flag. (#1255, crashpad#126)

Fixes:

• Reduce the scope of the proguard rules in the NDK package to local namespaces. (#1250)
• Close the file and return 0 on success when writing raw envelopes. (#1260)
• Fix event tags, contexts, and extra data to take precedence when applying scope data. (#1253)

Docs:

• Document convenience PowerShell runners for formatting and tests on Windows. (#1247)

Breaking changes:

• Use propagation_context as the single source of trace_id for spans and events. Transactions no longer create a new trace, but inherit the trace from the propagation_context created during SDK initialization. This context can be later modified through sentry_set_trace() (primarily used by other SDKs). (#1200)

Features:

• Add sentry_value_new_user(id, username, email, ip_address) function to avoid ambiguous user-context-keys. (#1228)

Fixes:

• Remove compile-time check for the libcurl feature AsynchDNS. (#1206)
• Support musl on Linux. (#1233)

Thank you:

• gregcotten

Features:

• Provide an option for downstream SDKs to attach a view hierarchy file. (#1191)

Fixes:

• Provide a more defensive automatic thread stack guarantee. (#1196)

Features:

• Add option to attach screenshots on Windows to fatal error events. (#1170, crashpad#123)
• Add an option for Crashpad on Linux to delay application shutdown until the upload of the crash report in the crashpad_handler is complete. This is useful for deployment in Docker or systemd, where the life cycle of additional processes is bound by the application life cycle. (#1153, crashpad#121)
• Expose traces_sample_rate option for synchronization with Android SDK. (#1176)

Thank you:

• mwl4
• jpnurmi

Fixes:

• Provide a mutex-initializer on platforms that have no static pthread initializer for recursive mutexes. (#1113)

Features:

• Provide Clang-CL support. (#1161, crashpad#100)
• Enable Crashpad report upload retry-mechanism for all platforms (#1152, crashpad#120)

Thank you:

Nerixyz

Features:

• Addded sentry_set_trace(). The primary use for this is to allow other SDKs to propagate their trace context. This allows Sentry to connect events on all layers. (#1137)

Breaking changes:

• Return type of sentry_capture_minidump() and sentry_capture_minidump_n() changed from void to sentry_uuid_t to retrieve the event-id for a successful minidump upload. (#1138)

Features:

• Ensure support for http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables across all transports. (#1111)

Fixes:

• Ensure that sentry_capture_minidump() fails if the provided minidump path cannot be attached, instead of sending a crash event without minidump. (#1138)
• Fix Xbox OS name being reported incorrectly. (#1148)

Thank you:

zsd4yr

Features:

• Auto-detect the latest GDK and Windows SDK for the XBox build. (#1124)
• Enable debug-option by default when running in a debug-build. (#1128)

Fixes:

• Allow older toolchains with assemblers that don't support PAC-stripping instructions on aarch64 to compile crashpad. (#1125, crashpad#118)
• Set default max_spans to 1000. (#1132)

Fixes:

• Fix a build error on older compilers introduced by C++17 support in 0.7.18 for the crashpad backend. (#1118, crashpad#117, mini_chromium#2)
