Release v8.41.0

New Features

• Feature #611: Capture HTTP request method on transactions in the AspNetCore, Asp35, Wcf3, and Owin wrappers.
• Feature #580: Send initial app name and source in environment data. (#653)
• Adds support for capturing stack traces for each instrumented method in a Transaction Trace.

    • A maximum 80 stack frames are reported per stack trace.
