v1.44.0

Summary

This version notably brings:

• gofiber trace propagation: Users of the gofiber package will now have fully connected traces.
• The profiler adds a new, efficient profile delta computation algorithm, which eliminates almost all of the memory allocation caused by the profiler when delta profiles are enabled. This algorithm can be enabled with the DD_PROFILING_DELTA_METHOD=fastdelta environment variable. It will become the default in a future release.
• The profiler no longer adds an env tag to profiles unless one is explicitly configured, either through the DD_ENV environment variable or through the WithEnv option. This allows profiles to be tagged with the env value configured by the agent, if one is available, rather than getting the previous env:none default tag.
• Remotely enable Application Security Monitoring through Datadog's remote configuration (private beta access required).
