**New integrations**
- [`pymemcache`](https://github.com/pinterest/pymemcache) integration (#511)
**Celery integration**
Due to some limitations with our Celery integration, we changed our instrumentation to a [signals based approach](http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/signals.html). We also started using import hooks to instrument Celery, so that enabling the instrumentation doesn't trigger a `celery` import.
- Signals implementation: 530
- Moving to import hooks: 534
- Resolved issues: 357, 493, 495, 495, 510, 370
**Breaking changes**
Using the signal based approach increase the stability of our instrumentation, but it limits what is currently traced. This is a list of changes that are considered breaking changes in the behavior and not in the API, so no changes are needed in your code unless you want a different behavior:
- By default all tasks will be traced if they use the Celery signals API, so tasks invoked with methods like `apply()`, `apply_async()` and `delay()` will be traced but tasks invoked with `run()` will **not** be traced.
- `patch_task()` is deprecated; if it's used, all tasks will be instrumented
**Bug fixes**
- [core] check if bootstrap dir is in path before removal (516 -- thanks beezz!)
- [core] have hostname default to `DATADOG_TRACE_AGENT_HOSTNAME` environment variable if available (509, 524 -- thanks hfern!)
- [core] add WSGI-style http headers support to HTTP propagator (456, 522)
- [core] Enable buffering on `getresponse` (464, 527)
- [core] configure the root logger (536)
- [aiopg] set the `app_type` during initialization (492, 507)
- [boto] default to `None` if no region (525, 526)
- [flask] avoid double instrumentation when `TraceMiddleware` is used (538)
- [pymongo] fix multiple host kwargs (535)
- [tornado] make settings object accessible during configuration (499, 498 -- thanks kave!)
**Improvements**
- [core/helpers] add a shortcut to retrieve Trace correlation identifiers (488)
