+- **Bugfix: Removed unwanted files from being included in file_list in gemspec**
+
+  Previously, the agent was including some files in the gem that were not needed but added to the size of the gem. These files will no longer be included. Thanks to [@manuraj17](https://github.com/manuraj17) for the contribution! [PR#2089](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-ruby-agent/pull/2089)

 - **Bugfix: Report Code-Level Metrics for Rails controller methods**
 
   Controllers in Rails automatically render views with names that correspond to valid routes. This means that a controller method may not have a corresponding method in the controller class. Code-Level Metrics now report on these methods and don't log false warnings. Thanks to [@jcrisp](https://github.com/jcrisp) for reporting this issue.
