byte-buddy the new Version of AgentBuilder.Transformer.transform() can't support current application with byte-buddy of 1.10.21

our applications use the byte-buddy of version 1.10.21, it has four parameters in the AgentBuilder.Transformer.transform(). However ,in the version 1.14.8, it has five parameters in the AgentBuilder.Transformer.transform(). The new parameter of ProtectionDomain is useless for us ,but the application have to restart to reload the new transform,which is very ugly for user.

so , can you reserve the transform method with four parameters in the new version ,which is very kind for the current application.thank you very much.

Not sure I follow? If you dynsmically reload your agent with a new version of Byte Buddy, why can't you reload the linked code?

in our program ,the linked code is reload into bootstrap classloader .When reload the agent ,it will use last transform method, not the new one. Could you please add Transformer.transform() with four paramenters in the new version.

No, the method is part of a functional interface.

By adding Byte Buddy to the boot loader, it's not updateable anyways, though
