Hi, we're currently using version 1.17.0 of apm-agent-java which produces a NullPointerException as outlined and fixed here: [https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-java/issues/1247](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-java/issues/1247). Are there plans for a new release any time soon? This does cause quite a lot of log entries, which are directly written on System.out. ---
