BREAKING CHANGE:
The following environment variables and configuration options, previously used to disable tracing, have been removed:
- INSTANA_DISABLED_TRACERS
- INSTANA_DISABLE_TRACING
- tracing.disabledTracers

Migration Recommendations:
Replace INSTANA_DISABLED_TRACERS and INSTANA_DISABLE_TRACING with INSTANA_TRACING_DISABLE.
Replace tracing.disabledTracers with tracing.disable.
Prebuilds for v21 and v23 have been removed, as these versions are already end-of-life and were short-lived releases.
BREAKING CHANGE: 

- Removed support for --experimental-loader
- Removed support for esm-loader.mjs

Migration Recommendations: 

- Replace --experimental-loader with --import
- Use esm-register.mjs instead of esm-loader.mjs

e.g. --import /path/to/instana/node_modules/@instana/collector/esm-register.mjs
BREAKING CHANGE:

Dropped support for Node.js versions below 18.19
BREAKING CHANGE
Package instana-aws-lambda-auto-wrap stopped publishing to npm
