Summary

The new Java SDK, sentry-java, is a major refactoring of the previous raven-java client, aiming to add first-class support for features like breadcrumbs and integrations beyond logging frameworks. The SDK takes a simple and re-usable approach, focusing on a straightforward Java client that also implements logging integrations. It introduces a new static API, allowing users to easily record breadcrumbs, set the current user, and send events without managing their own client instance. The SDK is particularly well-suited for Android applications, automatically attaching useful information to events such as device details and network connectivity. The new SDK is open-source on GitHub and available for free or open-source use.
