[ANNOUNCEMENT] datadog_trace-0.18.0 (stable) Released.

The new PECL package datadog_trace-0.18.0 (stable) has been released at https://pecl.php.net/. Release notes ------------- **NOTE: THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE RELEASE** This change should not impact most users. ### Added - MessagePack serialization for traces sent to the Agent with a new function dd_trace_serialize_msgpack() #378 ### Changed - Request init hook module blacklist now avoids miss matching partial matches #372 - Add 10MB cap to payloads sent to the Agent #388 - Added an getTracesAsArray() method to DDTrace/Contracts/Tracer which returns an array of spans (which are also encoded as an array.) To encode an instance of DDTrace\Contracts\Span as an array, use DDTrace/Encoders/SpanEncoder::encode($span) #378 - DDTrace/Transport::send() now takes an instance of DDTrace/Contracts/Tracer instead of an array #378 - DDTrace/Encoder::encodeTraces() now takes an instance of DDTrace/Contracts/Tracer instead of an array #378 - The default encoder is now DDTrace/Encoders/MessagePack. You can still use the JSON encoder by setting the environment variable DD_TRACE_ENCODER=json. It is generally not recommended to use the JSON encoder as parsing JSON payloads at the Agent level is more CPU & memory intensive.
