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)

Version 2.1.0-beta4

• BASE: Bug fix

Version 2.1.0-beta3

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.
