Lots of news for users of the Spandex library for tracing their Elixir applications with OpenTracing and DataDog!

• Spandex 2.2.0 has been released at its new home in the spandex-project organization on GitHub: https://github.com/spandex-project
• The former spandex library has been split into a core library and several optional dependencies to allow you to choose the frameworks you want to trace and the back-ends you want to send the spans to.
• In the future, we envision having support for more OpenTracing-compatible back-ends like Zipkin and Jaeger (contributions welcome!)
• spandex_datadog now supports distributed tracing across services, including priority sampling to ensure your traces are always complete.

Check out the READMEs in the project repos and join us in the brand-new #spandex channel on the Elixir-lang Slack if you have any questions!
