Version 1.27.0

The log bridge API / SDK are now stable! Some important notes:

• The contents of opentelemetry-api-logs have been merged into opentelemetry-api.
• The contents of opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-logs have been merged into opentelemetry-exporter-otlp.
• The contents of opentelemetry-sdk-logs-testing have been merged into opentelemetry-sdk-testing.
• The opentelemetry-sdk-logs artifact has been marked stable.
• opentelemetry-sdk-extension-autoconfigure has changed the default value of otel.logs.exporter from none to otlp.

NOTE: reminder that the Logs Bridge API is not meant for end users. Log appenders use the API to bridge logs from existing log frameworks (e.g. JUL, Log4j, SLf4J, Logback) into OpenTelemetry. Users configure the Log SDK to dictate how logs are processed and exported. See opentelemetry.io for documentation on usage.

API

• Promote log API to stable (#5341)
• fix doc for OpenTelemetry class (#5454)

SDK

• Ensure correct compiled output and sources are included in multi version jar (#5487)

Logs

• Fix broken link (#5451)
• Add meaningful .toString to NoopLogRecordProcessor and DefaultOpenTelemetry (#5493)
• Promote log SDK to stable (#5341)

Metrics

• Reset exponential aggregator scale after collection (#5496)
• Experimental metric reader and view cardinality limits (#5494)

Exporter

• Merge otlp logs (#5432)
• Append unit to prometheus metric names (#5400)

Testing

• Merge sdk logs testing (#5431)
• Add a hasBucketBoundaries() variant that allows specifying precision (#5457)

SDK Extensions

• Enable otlp logs by default in autoconfigure (#5433)

Semantic Conventions

• Update to semconv 1.20.0 (#5497)

Version 1.23.1

This is a patch release on the previous 1.23.0 release, fixing the issue(s) below.

• Fix bug that broke AutoConfiguredOpenTelemetrySdk's shutdown hook. (#5221)

Version 1.23.0

This release is a notable release for metrics:

• The base2 exponential histogram aggregation has been marked as stable. To use, configure your MetricExporter with a default aggregation of Aggregation.base2ExponentialBucketHistogram() for histogram instruments. If using OTLP exporter with autoconfigure, set OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_DEFAULT_HISTOGRAM_AGGREGATION=BASE2_EXPONENTIAL_BUCKET_HISTOGRAM. If using configuring OTLP programatically, use Otlp*MetricExporterBuilder#setDefaultAggregationSelector(DefaultAggregationSelector).
• The metrics SDK undergone significant internal refactoring which results in reduced complexity and significantly reduced memory allocation during metric collection / export.

API

Logs

• WARNING: Split out Event API from Log API. Event API is now published in opentelemetry-api-events. API / SDK usage has also changed - see PR for details. (#5049)

SDK

• Add shutdown / close to OpenTelemetrySdk (#5100)

Metrics

• Base2 exponential histogram aggregations are now stable. Add base2ExponentialBucketHistogram() to Aggregation. (#5143)
• Promote exponential histogram data interfaces to stable package (#5120)
• Add Base2 prefix to internal exponential histogram classes (#5179)
• Add MaxScale config parameter to Base2ExponentialBucketHistogram (#5044)
• Add close method to MetricReader (#5109)
• Reuse AggregatorHandle with cumulative temporality to reduce allocations (#5142)
• Delete notion of accumulation to reduce allocations (#5154)
• Delete bound instruments (#5157)
• Reuse aggregation handles for delta temporality to reduce allocations (#5176)

Exporter

• Add proper shutdown implementations for all exporters (#5113)

SDK Extensions

• WARNING: Remove deprecated autoconfigure exemplar filter names. Previous names none, all , with_sampled_trace have been removed. Use always_off, always_on, trace_based instead. (#5098)
• Add autoconfigure support for "none" option for propagator value (#5121)
• Add autoconfigure support for parentbased_jaeger_remote sampler (#5123)
• Autoconfigure closes up autoconfigured resources in case of exception (#5117)
• View file based config has switched from snakeyaml to snakeyaml-engine for YAML parsing. (#5138)
• Fix autoconfigure resource providers property docs (#5135)

Testing

• WARNING: Merge opentelemetry-sdk-metrics-testing into opentelemetry-sdk-testing. Stop publishing opentelemetry-sdk-metrics-testing. (#5144)
• Sort spans by start time (parents before children as tiebreaker) to avoid common causes for flaky tests (#5026)
• Add resource assertion methods to SpanDataAssert and MetricAssert (#5160)

Semantic Conventions

• Update semconv to 1.18.0 (#5188) (#5134)

OpenTracing Shim

Version 1.22.0

API

• WARNING: GlobalOpenTelemetry trigger of autoconfiguration is now opt-in. Previously, GlobalOpenTelemetry.get triggered autoconfiguration if opentelemetry-sdk-extension-autoconfigure was detected on the classpath.

• Drop delta metrics in PrometheusHttpServer (#5062)
• PrometheusHttpServer drops metrics with same name and different type (#5078)

• DEPRECATION: Align autoconfigure exemplar filter names with spec. Previous names none, all, with_sampled_trace are deprecated. Use always_off, always_on, trace_based instead. (#5063)

OpenTracing Shim

• Add createTracerShim function (#4988)
