OS module

  • Removed checking if a drive is a block device, which caused a performance impact on monitoring non-EBS disks. (HOST-6604)

JavaScript

  • Fixed an issue with the xhr module that happened when the URL is passed in as a URL object instead of a string. (RUM-21527)

Session Replay

  • Session Replay is now able to record cross-origin iframes again. When both frames share the same application ID, only a single session is recorded as expected. When the application ID differs between frames, you can choose the desired recording behavior: the default is to record those frames in isolation as separated sessions; if maintaining a single session is expected, then the JavaScript agent must be configured to disable the `APP_CHECK` flag with `ac=false` inside both applications.
