Documentation

1.725.0 (November 3, 2020)

Breaking Changes

• Boomerang will no longer send an "XHR Beacon" when an XMLHttpRequest does not result in any interesting DOM modifications (i.e. no new images, stylesheets, IFRAMEs or other XHRs were added). This change can be reverted to the previous behavior (of still sending an XHR Beacon) by setting the AutoXHR.xhrRequireChanges=false flag.

Bug Fixes

• Issue 1081: AutoXHR: Don't wait on lazy-loaded images
• Issue 1079: AutoXHR: For XHR beacons that happen before Page Load, ResourceTiming data is properly added to the XHR beacon when it is fired

Bug Fixes

• Issue 1062: EventTiming: Change firstInput type to first-input per spec change

1.710.0 (May 6, 2020)

Breaking Changes

• Issue 1057: Errors: The monitorEvents and monitorTimeout options are now disabled by default. As a result, some cross-origin JavaScript Errors may not report the full message (and instead will only show Script Error.), and the stack will not be available. Please see the Errors plugin documentation for details on the side-effects of re-enabling those options.
• Issue 1051: Continuity: First Input Delay calculations have changed slightly. The plugin will now use the Event Timing plugin (if available and the browser supports it) for First Input Delay calculation. If not, mousedown, touchstart and pointerdown events are now used for First Input Delay calculations, while Scroll, Visibility and Orientation changes are not. Only cancelable events are now tracked. First Input Delay should be more accurate, though there may be less overall measurements (due to not tracking Scroll for First Input).

New Features

• Issue 1000: Event Timing plugin (enabled by default)
• Issue 1044: ResourceTiming: Service Worker timing capture at resource level
• Issue 1055: PageParams: New option jsVarPassArgs (defaults to true, current behavior) which controls whether the variable name is passed as the first argument to JavaScript-based Custom Metrics, Timers, and Dimensions
