Release v6.27.0

New Features

• CI/Deployment moved to GitHub Actions
  
  This release is functionally identical to verion 6.26. We have migrated our CI and deployment process for the 6.x agent to GitHub Actions, and this release validates that this process is working correctly. There is no need to upgrade from 6.26 to 6.27.

Reminder: the 6.x agent line is maintained for customers who need to monitor .NET Framework 3.5 applications; it only gets security patches and critical updates. Please use the latest 8.x or later version of the agent for .NET Framework 4.5+ and .NET Core applications.

Release 8.38.0
