Features

Added support for sync calls of OkHttp client
Added support for context propagation for java.util.concurrent.ExecutorServices
The trace_methods configuration now allows to omit the method matcher.
Example: com.example.* traces all classes and methods within the com.example package and sub-packages.
Added support for JSF. Tested on WildFly, WebSphere Liberty and Payara with embedded JSF implementation and on Tomcat and Jetty with MyFaces 2.2 and 2.3
Introduces a new configuration option disable_metrics which disables the collection of metrics via a wildcard expression.
Support for HttpUrlConnection
Adds subtype and action to spans. This replaces former typing mechanism where type, subtype and action were all set through the type in an hierarchical dotted-syntax. In order to support existing API usages, dotted types are parsed into subtype and action, however Span.createSpan and Span.setType are deprecated starting this version. Instead, type-less spans can be created using the new Span.startSpan API and typed spans can be created using the new Span.startSpan(String type, String subtype, String action) API
Support for JBoss EAP 6.4, 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2
Improved startup times
Support for SOAP (JAX-WS).
SOAP client create spans and propagate context.
Transactions are created for @WebService classes and @WebMethod methods.
