Potential Breaking Change

• fetch Ajax tracking was also been change to be on by default from this version moving forward, if you are running in an environment without fetch support and you are using an incompatible polyfill (that doesn't identify itself as a polyfill) or the SDK you start seeing recursive or duplicate (fetch and XHR requests) being reported you WILL need to add disableFetchTracking with a value of true to your configuration to disable this functionality.
• TypeScript 4.x required for some typings from the core EnumHelperFuncs.d.ts

Significant changes

This release adds support for the SDK to

• TelemetryInitializers have been moved to BaseCore so they are now available as part of all Sku's and not just those using the analytics plugin (@microsoft/applicationinsights-analytics-js) using the appInsights.addTelemetryInitializer(...)
• Web Events (addEventHandler) now support "event namespaces" (similar to jQuery) to enable the removing of events by just specifying the namespace and new specific eventOn(...) and eventOff(...) API's.
• Fully unload, removing all internal event handlers (may be re-initialized) via the appInsights.unload(...) function.
• Dynamically add a plugin to an already initialized SDK (optionally replacing an existing) via new appInsights.addPlugin(...) function
• New helper to get any plugin from an initialized SDK via appInsights.getPlugin("...identifier...")
• Dynamically remove a plugin via the appInsights.getPlugin("...identifier..").remove()
• Enable / Disable any plugin (even if the plugin doesn't support disabling itself) via appInsights.getPlugin("...identifier...").setEnabled(true/false)
• The standard name from the analytics plugin @microsoft/applicationinsights-analytics-js has been renamed and is now exported as AnalyticsPlugin, for backward compatibility it is also exported as it's previous name ApplicationInsights, if you are using it directly it is recommended that you update to use the new exported name.

While this release contains a substantial amount of additional functionality and code, there has also been significant minification efforts (which also drove some of the SDK naming) to keep the minified code around the same size. We intend to keep working on additional improvements to attempt to bring the size changes down further. However, the minification improvements do generally cause a lower level of GZip compression most because of the removal of duplicate names. The main readme for the AISKU has a table of the CDN base SKU sizes, as the CDN version includes all public API's (older versions for backward compatibility and newer smaller versions) when using NPM you should see smaller sizes than those shown.

Note:
Due to the above changes required to support the above, there may be some minor TypeScript Type compatibility warnings when you attempt to use components from v2.8.0 with older SDK's (forward compatibility), backward compatibility, using Core v2.8.0 with older components is supported and v2.8.0 is completely backward compatible. This is due to some API's now support both older (for back compat) and new enhanced arguments, we have attempted to keep these changes to a minimum.
If you are getting typing errors such as "Argument of type 'XXXXX' os not assignable to parameter of type 'YYYY'", please ensure that you are using all v2.8.0 components and raise an issue if this does not resolve you issue. As a work around casting to work around this warning should not cause any issues.

Due to the size of this change, the above date is the NPM release date and CDN deployment will be over an extended period.
