+- **Feature: Prevent the agent from starting in "rails" commands in Rails 7**
 
   Previously, the agent ignored many Rails commands by default, such as `rails routes`, using Rake-specific logic. This was accomplished by setting these commands as default values for the config option `autostart.denylisted_rake_tasks`. However, Rails 7 no longer uses Rake for these commands, causing the agent to start running and attempting to record data when running these commands. The commands have now been added to the default value for the config option `autostart.denylisted_constants`, which will allow the agent to recognize these commands correctly in Rails 7 and prevent the agent from starting during ignored tasks. Note that the agent will continue to start-up when the `rails server` and `rails runner` commands are invoked. [PR#2239](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-ruby-agent/pull/2239)

   Sidekiq 8.0 will require procs passed to the error handler to include three arguments: error, context, and config. Users running sidekiq/main would receive a deprecation warning with this change any time an error was raised within a job.

 ## v9.5.0
 
 Version 9.5.0 introduces Stripe instrumentation, allows the agent to record additional response information on a transaction when middleware instrumentation is disabled, introduces new `:'sidekiq.args.include'` and `:'sidekiq.args.exclude:` configuration options to permit capturing only certain Sidekiq job arguments, updates Elasticsearch datastore instance metrics, and fixes a bug in `NewRelic::Rack::AgentHooks.needed?`.
