## Notes

This release of the Python agent adds support for OpenSearch, Microsoft Azure SQL, new Kinesis methods, and a new `browser_monitoring.version` setting.  Additionally, improvements have been made to Anthropic, MCP, and Google ADK instrumentation.  Issues with signed headers in botocore (SigV4) and Gemini tools parsing have also been fixed for this release.

Install the agent using `easy_install/pip/distribute` via the [Python Package Index](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/newrelic), using `conda` via the [Conda-Forge Package Index](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/newrelic), or download it directly from the [New Relic download site](https://download.newrelic.com/python_agent/release).

## New Features

-   New instrumentation for [opensearch-py](https://pypi.org/project/opensearch-py/)

    -   Instrumentation was added for the official OpenSearch database connector.

-   New instrumentation for [mssql-python](https://pypi.org/project/mssql-python/)

    -   Instrumentation was added for Microsoft Azure SQL.

-   New instrumentation for new [Kinesis](https://pypi.org/project/kinesis-python/) methods

    -   The following methods are now supported in Kinesis:
        -   `create_channel`
        -   `delete_channel`
        -   `describe_channel`
        -   `list_channels`
        -   `update_channel`

-   New setting for `browser_monitoring.version`

    -   The new setting `browser_monitoring.version` enables users to specify specific versions of our [Browser Monitoring Agent](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/browser/browser-monitoring/getting-started/introduction-browser-monitoring/) to be injected.
    -   See the list of [Supported Browser Agent Versions](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/browser/browser-monitoring/getting-started/browser-agent-eol-policy/) to choose from.

## Improved Features

-   Improved support for [anthropic](https://pypi.org/project/anthropic/).

    -   Improved parsing of request parameters for the Anthropic SDK on versions 1.0.0 and above.
    -   New parsing for responses via `Messages.with_raw_response.create` enabling improved compatibility with LangChain.

-   Support for [mcp](https://pypi.org/project/mcp/) v2.0.0 and above.

    -   Instrumentation has been updated following the major refactor done in `mcp` v2.0.0 and should once again work as expected.

-   Support for [Google ADK](https://pypi.org/project/google-adk/) v2.9.0 and above.

    -   Instrumentation has been updated for Google ADK on versions 2.9.0 and above.

## Bugs

-   Fix issues with signed headers in [botocore](https://pypi.org/project/botocore/) (SigV4)

    -   Previously any distributed tracing headers that were generated by other tracing libraries could cause issues with instrumentation in botocore due to header signing. This has been fixed, and distributed tracing headers are now mutated before signing.

-   Fix [Gemini](https://pypi.org/project/google-genai/) tools parsing

    -   Previously, some instances of tools created with Gemini would fail to parse and would silently fail, resulting in no response for that specific request.  This has been fixed.

## Support statement

We recommend updating to the latest agent version as soon as it's available. If you can't upgrade to the latest version, update your agents to a version no more than 90 days old. Read [more](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/new-relic-solutions/new-relic-one/install-configure/update-new-relic-agent/) about keeping agents up to date.
