The Sentry SDK team is happy to announce the immediate availability of Sentry PHP SDK v3.20.0.
Features
- Tracing without Performance [(1516)](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-php/pull/1516)
You can now set up distributed tracing without the need to use the performance APIs.
This allows you to connect your errors that hail from other Sentry instrumented applications to errors in your PHP application.
To continue a trace, fetch the incoming Sentry tracing headers and call `\Sentry\continueTrace()` as early as possible in the request cycle.
php
$sentryTraceHeader = $request->getHeaderLine('sentry-trace');
$baggageHeader = $request->getHeaderLine('baggage');
continueTrace($sentryTraceHeader, $baggageHeader);
To continue a trace outward, you may attach the Sentry tracing headers to any HTTP client request.
You can fetch the required header values by calling `\Sentry\getBaggage()` and `\Sentry\getTraceparent()`.
- Upserting Cron Monitors [(1511)](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-php/pull/1511)
You can now create and update your Cron Monitors programmatically with code.
Read more about this in our [docs](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/php/crons/#upserting-cron-monitors).
