[2.0.0] - 2016-03-20

• New signature changed. The default address used is now ":8125". To use another address use the Address option:

  Before:

  statsd.New(":8125")
  statsd.New(":9000")
  

  After

  statsd.New()
  statsd.New(statsd.Address(":9000"))
  

• The rate parameter has been removed from the Count and Timing methods. Use the new SampleRate option instead.

• Count, Gauge and Timing now accept a interface{} instead of an int as the value parameter. So you can now use any type of integer or float in these functions.

• The WithInfluxDBTags and WithDatadogTags options were replaced by the TagsFormat and Tags options:

  Before:

  statsd.New(statsd.WithInfluxDBTags("tag", "value"))
  statsd.New(statsd.WithDatadogTags("tag", "value"))
  

  After

  statsd.New(statsd.TagsFormat(statsd.InfluxDB), statsd.Tags("tag", "value"))
  statsd.New(statsd.TagsFormat(statsd.Datadog), statsd.Tags("tag", "value"))
  

• All options whose named began by With had the With stripped:

  Before:

  statsd.New(statsd.WithMaxPacketSize(65000))
  

  After

  statsd.New(statsd.MaxPacketSize(65000))
  

• ChangeGauge has been removed as it is a bad practice: UDP packets can be lost so using relative changes can cause unreliable values in the long term. Use Gauge instead which sends an absolute value.

• The Histogram method has been added.

• The Clone method was added to the Client, it allows to create a new Client with different rate / prefix / tags parameters while still using the same connection.
