+Fixing an issue where ajax requests made prior to the page load event would be reported as part of the SPA data and as standard ajax events.
+
+#### Prevent session reset triggers from harvesting session trace data
+Prevent Session Traces from "final" harvesting if the session identifiers change during a page life-cycle, such as when a session becomes stale and resets.
+
+## Support statement
+
+New Relic recommends that you upgrade the agent regularly to ensure that you're getting the latest features and performance benefits. Older releases will no longer be supported when they reach [end-of-life](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/browser/browser-monitoring/getting-started/browser-agent-eol-policy/). Release dates are reflective of the original publish date of the agent version.
+
+New browser agent releases are rolled out to customers in small stages over a period of time. Because of this, the date the release becomes accessible to your account may not match the original publish date. Please see this [status dashboard](https://newrelic.github.io/newrelic-browser-agent-release/) for more information.
