-==== 1.27.0 - YYYY/MM/DD
+==== 1.27.0 - 2021/11/15
+
+[float]
+===== Security
+* Resolves Local Privilege Escalation issue https://discuss.elastic.co/t/apm-java-agent-security-update/289627[ESA-2021-29] https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-37941[CVE-2021-37941]
+
+[float]
+===== Potentially breaking changes
+* `transaction_ignore_urls` now relies on full request URL path - {pull}2146[#2146]
+** On a typical application server like Tomcat, deploying an `app.war` application to the non-ROOT context makes it accessible with `http://localhost:8080/app/`
+** Ignoring the whole webapp through `/app/*` was not possible until now.
+** Existing configuration may need to be updated to include the deployment context, thus for example `/static/*.js` used to
+exclude known static files in all applications might be changed to `/app/static/*.js` or `*/static/*.js`.
+** It only impacts prefix patterns due to the additional context path in pattern.
+** It does not impact deployment within the `ROOT` context like Spring-boot which do not have such context path prefix.
+* The metrics `transaction.duration.sum.us`, `transaction.duration.count` and `transaciton.breakdown.count` are no longer recorded - {pull}2194[#2194]
+* Automatic hostname discovery mechanism had changed, so the resulted `host.name` and `host.hostname` in events reported
+by the agent may be different. This was done in order to improve the integration with host metrics in the APM UI.
 
 [float]
 ===== Features
+* Improved capturing of logged exceptions when using Log4j2 - {pull}2139[#2139]
+* Update to async-profiler 1.8.7 and set configured `safemode` at load time though a new system property - {pull}2165[#2165]
+* Added support to capture `context.message.routing-key` in rabbitmq, spring amqp instrumentations - {pull}1767[#1767]
+* Breakdown metrics are now tracked per service (when using APM Server 8.0) - {pull}2208[#2208]
+* Add support for Spring AMQP batch API - {pull}1716[#1716]
+* Add the (current) transaction name to the error (when using APM Server 8.0) - {pull}2235[#2235]
+* The JVM/JMX metrics are reported for each service name individually (when using APM Server 8.0) - {pull}2233[#2233]
+* Added <<config-span-stack-trace-min-duration,`span_stack_trace_min_duration`>> option.
+ This replaces the now deprecated `span_frames_min_duration` option.
+ The difference is that the new option has more intuitive semantics for negative values (never collect stack trace) and zero (always collect stack trace). - {pull}2220[#2220]
+* Add support to Jakarta EE for JAX-WS - {pull}2247[#2247]
+* Add support to Jakarta EE for JAX-RS - {pull}2248[#2248]

+===== Refactorings
+* Loading the agent from an isolated class loader - {pull}2109[#2109]
+* Refactorings in the `apm-agent-plugin-sdk` that may imply breaking changes for beta users of the external plugin mechanism
+** `WeakMapSupplier.createMap()` is now `WeakConcurrent.buildMap()` and contains more builders - {pull}2136[#2136]
+** `GlobalThreadLocal` has been removed in favor of `DetachedThreadLocal`. To make it global, use `GlobalVariables` - {pull}2136[#2136]
+** `DynamicTransformer.Accessor.get().ensureInstrumented` is now `DynamicTransformer.ensureInstrumented` - {pull}2164[#2164]
+** The `@AssignTo.*` annotations have been removed.
