### Improvements and enhancements

-   AGP 9.4 Support: Added support for Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 9.4.x to the New Relic Gradle plugin.

-   Distributed Tracing Header Optimization: Streamlined Distributed Tracing by removing the proprietary newrelic request header and relying solely on W3C standard traceparent and tracestate headers.

-   WebView Browser Agent Detection: Added supportability metrics to detect and track whether active WebViews are utilizing the New Relic Browser Agent.

-   SDK Size Optimization Guidance: Added documentation covering ProGuard/R8 tree-shaking rules to help developers strip unused agent code for disabled features.

### Bug fixes

-   Session Replay Crash Fix: Fixed a multi-threading race condition when initializing Curtains in Session Replay that caused a NullPointerException on the main thread.

-   HTTP2 Payload Size Tracking: Resolved an issue where network request payload size (bytesReceived) incorrectly reported 0 bytes for headerless HTTP/2 and Ktor streams.

-   Resource Leak Resolution: Resolved a static-analysis observation (CWE-404) by properly closing BufferedWriter instances within SessionReplayFileManager.
