This release brings a breaking change for custom trace API implementations. Some interfaces (TracerProvider, Tracer, Span) now embed the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace/embedded types. Implementers need to update their implementations based on what they want the default behavior to be. See the "API Implementations" section of the trace API package documentation for more information about how to accomplish this.

Removed

The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlpmetric.Client interface is removed. (#3486)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlpmetric.New function is removed. Use the otlpmetric[http|grpc].New directly. (#3486)

Deprecated

The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric/view package is deprecated. Use Instrument, InstrumentKind, View, and NewView in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric instead. (#3476)

1.11.1/0.33.0 2022-10-19

Added

The Prometheus exporter in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus registers with a Prometheus registerer on creation. By default, it will register with the default Prometheus registerer. A non-default registerer can be used by passing the WithRegisterer option. (#3239)
Added the WithAggregationSelector option to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus package to change the default AggregationSelector used. (#3341)
The Prometheus exporter in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus converts the Resource associated with metric exports into a target_info metric. (#3285)

Changed

The "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus".New function is updated to return an error. It will return an error if the exporter fails to register with Prometheus. (#3239)

Fixed

The URL-encoded values from the OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES environment variable are decoded. (#2963)
The baggage.NewMember function decodes the value parameter instead of directly using it. This fixes the implementation to be compliant with the W3C specification. (#3226)
Slice attributes of the attribute package are now comparable based on their value, not instance. (#3108 #3252)
The Shutdown and ForceFlush methods of the "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace".TraceProvider no longer return an error when no processor is registered. (#3268)
The Prometheus exporter in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus cumulatively sums histogram buckets. (#3281)
The sum of each histogram data point is now uniquely exported by the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlpmetric exporters. (#3284, #3293)
Recorded values for asynchronous counters (Counter and UpDownCounter) are interpreted as exact, not incremental, sum values by the metric SDK. (#3350, #3278)
UpDownCounters are now correctly output as Prometheus gauges in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus exporter. (#3358)
The Prometheus exporter in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus no longer describes the metrics it will send to Prometheus on startup. Instead the exporter is defined as an "unchecked" collector for Prometheus. This fixes the reader is not registered warning currently emitted on startup. (#3291 #3342)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus exporter now correctly adds _total suffixes to counter metrics. (#3360)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus exporter now adds a unit suffix to metric names. This can be disabled using the WithoutUnits() option added to that package. (#3352)

Return the same instrument every time a user makes the exact same instrument creation call. (#3229, #3251)
Return the existing instrument when a view transforms a creation call to match an existing instrument. (#3240, #3251)
Log a warning when a conflicting instrument (e.g. description, unit, data-type) is created instead of returning an error. (#3251)
The OpenCensus bridge no longer sends empty batches of metrics. (#3263)

(#2748)

1.6.3 - 2022-04-07

Fixed

Allow non-comparable global MeterProvider, TracerProvider, and TextMapPropagator types to be set. (#2772, #2773)

1.6.2 - 2022-04-06

Changed

Don't panic anymore when setting a global TracerProvider or TextMapPropagator to itself. (#2749)
Upgrade go.opentelemetry.io/proto/otlp in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace from v0.12.1 to v0.15.0. This replaces the use of the now deprecated InstrumentationLibrary and InstrumentationLibrarySpans types and fields in the proto library with the equivalent InstrumentationScope and ScopeSpans. (#2748)

1.6.1 - 2022-03-28

Fixed

The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/schema/* packages now use the correct schema URL for their SchemaURL constant. Instead of using "https://opentelemetry.io/schemas/v<version>" they now use the correct URL without a v prefix, "https://opentelemetry.io/schemas/<version>". (#2743, #2744)

Security

1.6.0/0.28.0 - 2022-03-23

⚠️ Notice ⚠️

This update is a breaking change of the unstable Metrics API. Code instrumented with the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric will need to be modified.

Added

Add metrics exponential histogram support. New mapping functions have been made available in sdk/metric/aggregator/exponential/mapping for other OpenTelemetry projects to take dependencies on. (#2502)
Add Go 1.18 to our compatibility tests. (#2679)
Allow configuring the Sampler with the OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER and OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER_ARG environment variables. (#2305, #2517)
Add the metric/global for obtaining and setting the global MeterProvider. (#2660)

Changed

The metrics API has been significantly changed to match the revised OpenTelemetry specification. High-level changes include:
- Synchronous and asynchronous instruments are now handled by independent InstrumentProviders. These InstrumentProviders are managed with a Meter.
- Synchronous and asynchronous instruments are grouped into their own packages based on value types.
- Asynchronous callbacks can now be registered with a Meter.
Be sure to check out the metric module documentation for more information on how to use the revised API. (#2587, #2660)

Fixed

Fallback to general attribute limits when span specific ones are not set in the environment. (#2675, #2677)

1.5.0 - 2022-03-16

Added

Log the Exporters configuration in the TracerProviders message. (#2578)
Added support to configure the span limits with environment variables. The following environment variables are supported. (#2606, #2637)
- OTEL_SPAN_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_LENGTH_LIMIT
- OTEL_SPAN_ATTRIBUTE_COUNT_LIMIT
- OTEL_SPAN_EVENT_COUNT_LIMIT
- OTEL_EVENT_ATTRIBUTE_COUNT_LIMIT
- OTEL_SPAN_LINK_COUNT_LIMIT
- OTEL_LINK_ATTRIBUTE_COUNT_LIMIT
If the provided environment variables are invalid (negative), the default values would be used.
Rename the gc runtime name to go (#2560)
Add resource container ID detection. (#2418)
Add span attribute value length limit. The new AttributeValueLengthLimit field is added to the "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace".SpanLimits type to configure this limit for a TracerProvider. The default limit for this resource is "unlimited". (#2637)
Add the WithRawSpanLimits option to go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace. This option replaces the WithSpanLimits option. Zero or negative values will not be changed to the default value like WithSpanLimits does. Setting a limit to zero will effectively disable the related resource it limits and setting to a negative value will mean that resource is unlimited. Consequentially, limits should be constructed using NewSpanLimits and updated accordingly. (#2637)

Changed

Drop oldest tracestate Member when capacity is reached. (#2592)
Add event and link drop counts to the exported data from the oltptrace exporter. (#2601)
Unify path cleaning functionally in the otlpmetric and otlptrace configuration. (#2639)
Change the debug message from the sdk/trace.BatchSpanProcessor to reflect the count is cumulative. (#2640)
Introduce new internal envconfig package for OTLP exporters. (#2608)
If http.Request.Host is empty, fall back to use URL.Host when populating http.host in the semconv packages. (#2661)

Fixed

Remove the OTLP trace exporter limit of SpanEvents when exporting. (#2616)
Default to port 4318 instead of 4317 for the otlpmetrichttp and otlptracehttp client. (#2614, #2625)
Unlimited span limits are now supported (negative values). (#2636, #2637)

Deprecated

Deprecated "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace".WithSpanLimits. Use WithRawSpanLimits instead. That option allows setting unlimited and zero limits, this option does not. This option will be kept until the next major version incremented release. (#2637)

1.4.1 - 2022-02-16

Fixed

Fix race condition in reading the dropped spans number for the BatchSpanProcessor. (#2615)

1.4.0 - 2022-02-11

Added

Use OTEL_EXPORTER_ZIPKIN_ENDPOINT environment variable to specify zipkin collector endpoint. (#2490)
Log the configuration of TracerProviders, and Tracers for debugging. To enable use a logger with Verbosity (V level) >=1. (#2500)
Added support to configure the batch span-processor with environment variables. The following environment variables are used. (#2515)
- OTEL_BSP_SCHEDULE_DELAY
- OTEL_BSP_EXPORT_TIMEOUT
- OTEL_BSP_MAX_QUEUE_SIZE.
- OTEL_BSP_MAX_EXPORT_BATCH_SIZE

Changed

Zipkin exporter exports Resource attributes in the Tags field. (#2589)

Deprecated

Deprecate module the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/export/metric. Use the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric module instead. (#2382)
Deprecate "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric".AtomicFieldOffsets. (#2445)

Fixed

Fixed the instrument kind for noop async instruments to correctly report an implementation. (#2461)
Fix UDP packets overflowing with Jaeger payloads. (#2489, #2512)
Change the otlpmetric.Client interface's UploadMetrics method to accept a single ResourceMetrics instead of a slice of them. (#2491)
Specify explicit buckets in Prometheus example, fixing issue where example only has +inf bucket. (#2419, #2493)
W3C baggage will now decode urlescaped values. (#2529)
Baggage members are now only validated once, when calling NewMember and not also when adding it to the baggage itself. (#2522)
The order attributes are dropped from spans in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace package when capacity is reached is fixed to be in compliance with the OpenTelemetry specification. Instead of dropping the least-recently-used attribute, the last added attribute is dropped. This drop order still only applies to attributes with unique keys not already contained in the span. If an attribute is added with a key already contained in the span, that attribute is updated to the new value being added. (#2576)

Removed

Updated go.opentelemetry.io/proto/otlp from v0.11.0 to v0.12.0. This version removes a number of deprecated methods. (#2546)

1.3.0 - 2021-12-10

⚠️ Notice ⚠️

We have updated the project minimum supported Go version to 1.16

Added

Added an internal Logger. This can be used by the SDK and API to provide users with feedback of the internal state. To enable verbose logs configure the logger which will print V(1) logs. For debugging information configure to print V(5) logs. (#2343)
Add the WithRetry Option and the RetryConfig type to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporter/otel/otlpmetric/otlpmetrichttp package to specify retry behavior consistently. (#2425)
Add SpanStatusFromHTTPStatusCodeAndSpanKind to all semconv packages to return a span status code similar to SpanStatusFromHTTPStatusCode, but exclude 4XX HTTP errors as span errors if the span is of server kind. (#2296)

Changed

The "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporter/otel/otlptrace/otlptracegrpc".Client now uses the underlying gRPC ClientConn to handle name resolution, TCP connection establishment (with retries and backoff) and TLS handshakes, and handling errors on established connections by re-resolving the name and reconnecting. (#2329)
The "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporter/otel/otlpmetric/otlpmetricgrpc".Client now uses the underlying gRPC ClientConn to handle name resolution, TCP connection establishment (with retries and backoff) and TLS handshakes, and handling errors on established connections by re-resolving the name and reconnecting. (#2425)
The "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporter/otel/otlpmetric/otlpmetricgrpc".RetrySettings type is renamed to RetryConfig. (#2425)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporter/otel/* gRPC exporters now default to using the host's root CA set if none are provided by the user and WithInsecure is not specified. (#2432)
Change resource.Default to be evaluated the first time it is called, rather than on import. This allows the caller the option to update OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES first, such as with os.Setenv. (#2371)

Fixed

The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporter/otel/* exporters are updated to handle per-signal and universal endpoints according to the OpenTelemetry specification. Any per-signal endpoint set via an OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_<signal>_ENDPOINT environment variable is now used without modification of the path. When OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is set, if it contains a path, that path is used as a base path which per-signal paths are appended to. (#2433)
Basic metric controller updated to use sync.Map to avoid blocking calls (#2381)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporter/jaeger correctly sets the otel.status_code value to be a string of ERROR or OK instead of an integer code. (#2439, #2440)

Deprecated

Deprecated the "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporter/otel/otlpmetric/otlpmetrichttp".WithMaxAttempts Option, use the new WithRetry Option instead. (#2425)
Deprecated the "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporter/otel/otlpmetric/otlpmetrichttp".WithBackoff Option, use the new WithRetry Option instead. (#2425)

Removed

Remove the metric Processor's ability to convert cumulative to delta aggregation temporality. (#2350)
Remove the metric Bound Instruments interface and implementations. (#2399)
Remove the metric MinMaxSumCount kind aggregation and the corresponding OTLP export path. (#2423)
Metric SDK removes the "exact" aggregator for histogram instruments, as it performed a non-standard aggregation for OTLP export (creating repeated Gauge points) and worked its way into a number of confusing examples. (#2348)

1.2.0 - 2021-11-12

Changed

Metric SDK export.ExportKind, export.ExportKindSelector types have been renamed to aggregation.Temporality and aggregation.TemporalitySelector respectively to keep in line with current specification and protocol along with built-in selectors (e.g., aggregation.CumulativeTemporalitySelector, ...). (#2274)
The Metric Exporter interface now requires a TemporalitySelector method instead of an ExportKindSelector. (#2274)
Metrics API cleanup. The metric/sdkapi package has been created to relocate the API-to-SDK interface:
- The following interface types simply moved from metric to metric/sdkapi: Descriptor, MeterImpl, InstrumentImpl, SyncImpl, BoundSyncImpl, AsyncImpl, AsyncRunner, AsyncSingleRunner, and AsyncBatchRunner
- The following struct types moved and are replaced with type aliases, since they are exposed to the user: Observation, Measurement.
- The No-op implementations of sync and async instruments are no longer exported, new functions sdkapi.NewNoopAsyncInstrument() and sdkapi.NewNoopSyncInstrument() are provided instead. (#2271)
Update the SDK BatchSpanProcessor to export all queued spans when ForceFlush is called. (#2080, #2335)

Added

Add the "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlpmetric/otlpmetricgrpc".WithGRPCConn option so the exporter can reuse an existing gRPC connection. (#2002)
Added a new schema module to help parse Schema Files in OTEP 0152 format. (#2267)
Added a new MapCarrier to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/propagation package to hold propagated cross-cutting concerns as a map[string]string held in memory. (#2334)

1.1.0 - 2021-10-27

Added

Add the "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracegrpc".WithGRPCConn option so the exporter can reuse an existing gRPC connection. (#2002)
Add the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.7.0 package. The package contains semantic conventions from the v1.7.0 version of the OpenTelemetry specification. (#2320)
Add the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.6.1 package. The package contains semantic conventions from the v1.6.1 version of the OpenTelemetry specification. (#2321)
Add the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.5.0 package. The package contains semantic conventions from the v1.5.0 version of the OpenTelemetry specification. (#2322)

  - K8SReplicasetUIDKey -> K8SReplicaSetUIDKey
  - K8SReplicasetNameKey -> K8SReplicaSetNameKey
  - K8SStatefulsetUIDKey -> K8SStatefulSetUIDKey
  - k8SStatefulsetNameKey -> K8SStatefulSetNameKey
  - K8SDaemonsetUIDKey -> K8SDaemonSetUIDKey
  - K8SDaemonsetNameKey -> K8SDaemonSetNameKey

Changed

Links added to a span will be dropped by the SDK if they contain an invalid span context (#2275).

Fixed

The "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.4.0".HTTPServerAttributesFromHTTPRequest now correctly only sets the HTTP client IP attribute even if the connection was routed with proxies and there are multiple addresses in the X-Forwarded-For header. (#2282, #2284)
The "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.4.0".NetAttributesFromHTTPRequest function correctly handles IPv6 addresses as IP addresses and sets the correct net peer IP instead of the net peer hostname attribute. (#2283, #2285)
The simple span processor shutdown method deterministically returns the exporter error status if it simultaneously finishes when the deadline is reached. (#2290, #2289)

1.0.1 - 2021-10-01

Fixed

json stdout exporter no longer crashes due to concurrency bug. (#2265)

Metrics 0.24.0 - 2021-10-01

Changed

NoopMeterProvider is now private and NewNoopMeterProvider must be used to obtain a noopMeterProvider. (#2237)
The Metric SDK Export() function takes a new two-level reader interface for iterating over results one instrumentation library at a time. (#2197)
- The former "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/export/metric".CheckpointSet is renamed Reader.
- The new interface is named "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/export/metric".InstrumentationLibraryReader.

1.0.0 - 2021-09-20

This is the first stable release for the project. This release includes an API and SDK for the tracing signal that will comply with the stability guarantees defined by the projects versioning policy.

Added

OTLP trace exporter now sets the SchemaURL field in the exported telemetry if the Tracer has WithSchemaURL option. (#2242)

Fixed

Slice-valued attributes can correctly be used as map keys. (#2223)

Removed

Removed the "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/zipkin".WithSDKOptions function. (#2248)
Removed the deprecated package go.opentelemetry.io/otel/oteltest. (#2234)
Removed the deprecated package go.opentelemetry.io/otel/bridge/opencensus/utils. (#2233)
Removed deprecated functions, types, and methods from go.opentelemetry.io/otel/attribute package. Use the typed functions and methods added to the package instead. (#2235)
- The Key.Array method is removed.
- The Array function is removed.
- The Any function is removed.
- The ArrayValue function is removed.
- The AsArray function is removed.

1.0.0-RC3 - 2021-09-02

Added

Added ErrorHandlerFunc to use a function as an "go.opentelemetry.io/otel".ErrorHandler. (#2149)
Added "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace".WithStackTrace option to add a stack trace when using span.RecordError or when panic is handled in span.End. (#2163)
Added typed slice attribute types and functionality to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/attribute package to replace the existing array type and functions. (#2162)
- BoolSlice, IntSlice, Int64Slice, Float64Slice, and StringSlice replace the use of the Array function in the package.
Added the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/example/fib example package. Included is an example application that computes Fibonacci numbers. (#2203)

Changed

Metric instruments have been renamed to match the (feature-frozen) metric API specification:
- ValueRecorder becomes Histogram
- ValueObserver becomes Gauge
- SumObserver becomes CounterObserver
- UpDownSumObserver becomes UpDownCounterObserver The API exported from this project is still considered experimental. (#2202)
Metric SDK/API implementation type InstrumentKind moves into sdkapi sub-package. (#2091)
The Metrics SDK export record no longer contains a Resource pointer, the SDK "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace/export/metric".Exporter.Export() function for push-based exporters now takes a single Resource argument, pull-based exporters use "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric/controller/basic".Controller.Resource(). (#2120)
The JSON output of the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout/stdouttrace is harmonized now such that the output is "plain" JSON objects after each other of the form { ... } { ... } { ... }. Earlier the JSON objects describing a span were wrapped in a slice for each Exporter.ExportSpans call, like [ { ... } ][ { ... } { ... } ]. Outputting JSON object directly after each other is consistent with JSON loggers, and a bit easier to parse and read. (#2196)
Update the NewTracerConfig, NewSpanStartConfig, NewSpanEndConfig, and NewEventConfig function in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace package to return their respective configurations as structs instead of pointers to the struct. (#2212)

Deprecated

The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/bridge/opencensus/utils package is deprecated. All functionality from this package now exists in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/bridge/opencensus package. The functions from that package should be used instead. (#2166)
The "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/attribute".Array function and the related ARRAY value type is deprecated. Use the typed *Slice functions and types added to the package instead. (#2162)
The "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/attribute".Any function is deprecated. Use the typed functions instead. (#2181)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/oteltest package is deprecated. The "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace/tracetest".SpanRecorder can be registered with the default SDK (go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace) as a SpanProcessor and used as a replacement for this deprecated package. (#2188)

Removed

Removed metrics test package go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/export/metric/metrictest. (#2105)

Fixed

The fromEnv detector no longer throws an error when OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES environment variable is not set or empty. (#2138)
Setting the global ErrorHandler with "go.opentelemetry.io/otel".SetErrorHandler multiple times is now supported. (#2160, #2140)
The "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/attribute".Any function now supports int32 values. (#2169)
Multiple calls to "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric/controller/basic".WithResource() are handled correctly, and when no resources are provided "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/resource".Default() is used. (#2120)
The WithoutTimestamps option for the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout/stdouttrace exporter causes the exporter to correctly omit timestamps. (#2195)
Fixed typos in resources.go. (#2201)

1.0.0-RC2 - 2021-07-26

Added

Added WithOSDescription resource configuration option to set OS (Operating System) description resource attribute (os.description). (#1840)
Added WithOS resource configuration option to set all OS (Operating System) resource attributes at once. (#1840)
Added the WithRetry option to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp package. This option is a replacement for the removed WithMaxAttempts and WithBackoff options. (#2095)
Added API LinkFromContext to return Link which encapsulates SpanContext from provided context and also encapsulates attributes. (#2115)
Added a new Link type under the SDK otel/sdk/trace package that counts the number of attributes that were dropped for surpassing the AttributePerLinkCountLimit configured in the Span's SpanLimits. This new type replaces the equal-named API Link type found in the otel/trace package for most usages within the SDK. For example, instances of this type are now returned by the Links() function of ReadOnlySpans provided in places like the OnEnd function of SpanProcessor implementations. (#2118)
Added the SpanRecorder type to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/skd/trace/tracetest package. This type can be used with the default SDK as a SpanProcessor during testing. (#2132)

Changed

The SpanModels function is now exported from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/zipkin package to convert OpenTelemetry spans into Zipkin model spans. (#2027)
Rename the "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracegrpc".RetrySettings to RetryConfig. (#2095)

Deprecated

The TextMapCarrier and TextMapPropagator from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/oteltest package and their associated creation functions (TextMapCarrier, NewTextMapPropagator) are deprecated. (#2114)
The Harness type from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/oteltest package and its associated creation function, NewHarness are deprecated and will be removed in the next release. (#2123)
The TraceStateFromKeyValues function from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/oteltest package is deprecated. Use the trace.ParseTraceState function instead. (#2122)

Removed

Removed the deprecated package go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/trace/jaeger. (#2020)
Removed the deprecated package go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/trace/zipkin. (#2020)
Removed the "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/resource".WithBuiltinDetectors function. The explicit With* options for every built-in detector should be used instead. (#2026 #2097)
Removed the WithMaxAttempts and WithBackoff options from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp package. The retry logic of the package has been updated to match the otlptracegrpc package and accordingly a WithRetry option is added that should be used instead. (#2095)
Removed DroppedAttributeCount field from otel/trace.Link struct. (#2118)

Fixed

When using WithNewRoot, don't use the parent context for making sampling decisions. (#2032)
oteltest.Tracer now creates a valid SpanContext when using WithNewRoot. (#2073)
OS type detector now sets the correct dragonflybsd value for DragonFly BSD. (#2092)
The OTel span status is correctly transformed into the OTLP status in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace package. This fix will by default set the status to Unset if it is not explicitly set to Ok or Error. (#2099 #2102)
The Inject method for the "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/propagation".TraceContext type no longer injects empty tracestate values. (#2108)
Use 6831 as default Jaeger agent port instead of 6832. (#2131)

Added

Adds HTTP support for OTLP metrics exporter. (#2022)

Removed

Removed the deprecated package go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/metric/prometheus. (#2020)

1.0.0-RC1 / 0.21.0 - 2021-06-18

With this release we are introducing a split in module versions. The tracing API and SDK are entering the v1.0.0 Release Candidate phase with v1.0.0-RC1 while the experimental metrics API and SDK continue with v0.x releases at v0.21.0. Modules at major version 1 or greater will not depend on modules with major version 0.

Added

Adds otlpgrpc.WithRetryoption for configuring the retry policy for transient errors on the otlp/gRPC exporter. (#1832)
- The following status codes are defined as transient errors:
  
  gRPC Status Code Description
  
  1 Cancelled
  
  4 Deadline Exceeded
  
  8 Resource Exhausted
  
  10 Aborted
  
  10 Out of Range
  
  14 Unavailable
  
  15 Data Loss
Added Status type to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace package to represent the status of a span. (#1874)
Added SpanStub type and its associated functions to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace/tracetest package. This type can be used as a testing replacement for the SpanSnapshot that was removed from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace package. (#1873)
Adds support for scheme in OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT according to the spec. (#1886)
Adds trace.WithSchemaURL option for configuring the tracer with a Schema URL. (#1889)
Added an example of using OpenTelemetry Go as a trace context forwarder. (#1912)
ParseTraceState is added to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace package. It can be used to decode a TraceState from a tracestate header string value. (#1937)
Added Len method to the TraceState type in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace package. This method returns the number of list-members the TraceState holds. (#1937)
Creates package go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace that defines a trace exporter that uses a otlptrace.Client to send data. Creates package go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracegrpc implementing a gRPC otlptrace.Client and offers convenience functions, NewExportPipeline and InstallNewPipeline, to setup and install a otlptrace.Exporter in tracing .(#1922)
Added Baggage, Member, and Property types to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/baggage package along with their related functions. (#1967)
Added ContextWithBaggage, ContextWithoutBaggage, and FromContext functions to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/baggage package. These functions replace the Set, Value, ContextWithValue, ContextWithoutValue, and ContextWithEmpty functions from that package and directly work with the new Baggage type. (#1967)
The OTEL_SERVICE_NAME environment variable is the preferred source for service.name, used by the environment resource detector if a service name is present both there and in OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES. (#1969)
Creates package go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp implementing an HTTP otlptrace.Client and offers convenience functions, NewExportPipeline and InstallNewPipeline, to setup and install a otlptrace.Exporter in tracing. (#1963)
Changes go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/resource.NewWithAttributes to require a schema URL. The old function is still available as resource.NewSchemaless. This is a breaking change. (#1938)
Several builtin resource detectors now correctly populate the schema URL. (#1938)
Creates package go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlpmetric that defines a metrics exporter that uses a otlpmetric.Client to send data.

Added go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout/stdouttrace exporter. (#2005)
Added go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout/stdoutmetric exporter. (#2005)
Added a TracerProvider() method to the "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace".Span interface. This can be used to obtain a TracerProvider from a given span that utilizes the same trace processing pipeline. (#2009)

Changed

Make NewSplitDriver from go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp take variadic arguments instead of a SplitConfig item. NewSplitDriver now automatically implements an internal noopDriver for SplitConfig fields that are not initialized. (#1798)
resource.New() now creates a Resource without builtin detectors. Previous behavior is now achieved by using WithBuiltinDetectors Option. (#1810)
Move the Event type from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel package to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace package. (#1846)
CI builds validate against last two versions of Go, dropping 1.14 and adding 1.16. (#1865)
BatchSpanProcessor now report export failures when calling ForceFlush() method. (#1860)
Set.Encoded(Encoder) no longer caches the result of an encoding. (#1855)
Renamed CloudZoneKey to CloudAvailabilityZoneKey in Resource semantic conventions according to spec. (#1871)
The StatusCode and StatusMessage methods of the ReadOnlySpan interface and the Span produced by the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace package have been replaced with a single Status method. This method returns the status of a span using the new Status type. (#1874)
Updated ExportSpans method of theSpanExporter interface type to accept ReadOnlySpans instead of the removed SpanSnapshot. This brings the export interface into compliance with the specification in that it now accepts an explicitly immutable type instead of just an implied one. (#1873)
Unembed SpanContext in Link. (#1877)
Generate Semantic conventions from the specification YAML. (#1891)
Spans created by the global Tracer obtained from go.opentelemetry.io/otel, prior to a functioning TracerProvider being set, now propagate the span context from their parent if one exists. (#1901)
The "go.opentelemetry.io/otel".Tracer function now accepts tracer options. (#1902)
Move the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/unit package to go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric/unit. (#1903)
Changed go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace.TracerConfig to conform to the Contributing guidelines (#1921)
Changed go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace.SpanConfig to conform to the Contributing guidelines. (#1921)
Changed span.End() now only accepts Options that are allowed at End(). (#1921)
Changed go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric.InstrumentConfig to conform to the Contributing guidelines. (#1921)
Changed go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric.MeterConfig to conform to the Contributing guidelines. (#1921)
Refactored option types according to the contribution style guide. (#1882)
Move the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace.TraceStateFromKeyValues function to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/oteltest package. This function is preserved for testing purposes where it may be useful to create a TraceState from attribute.KeyValues, but it is not intended for production use. The new ParseTraceState function should be used to create a TraceState. (#1931)
Updated MarshalJSON method of the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace.TraceState type to marshal the type into the string representation of the TraceState. (#1931)
The TraceState.Delete method from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace package no longer returns an error in addition to a TraceState. (#1931)
Updated Get method of the TraceState type from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace package to accept a string instead of an attribute.Key type. (#1931)
Updated Insert method of the TraceState type from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace package to accept a pair of strings instead of an attribute.KeyValue type. (#1931)
Updated Delete method of the TraceState type from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace package to accept a string instead of an attribute.Key type. (#1931)
Renamed NewExporter to New in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout package. (#1985)
Renamed NewExporter to New in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/metric/prometheus package. (#1985)
Renamed NewExporter to New in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/trace/jaeger package. (#1985)
Renamed NewExporter to New in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/trace/zipkin package. (#1985)
Renamed NewExporter to New in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp package. (#1985)
Renamed NewUnstartedExporter to NewUnstarted in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp package. (#1985)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv package has been moved to go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.4.0 to allow for multiple telemetry schema versions to be used concurrently. (#1987)
Metrics test helpers in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/oteltest have been moved to go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric/metrictest. (#1988)

Deprecated

The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/metric/prometheus is deprecated, use go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus instead. (#1993)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/trace/jaeger is deprecated, use go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/jaeger instead. (#1993)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/trace/zipkin is deprecated, use go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/zipkin instead. (#1993)

Removed

Removed resource.WithoutBuiltin(). Use resource.New(). (#1810)
Unexported types resource.FromEnv, resource.Host, and resource.TelemetrySDK, Use the corresponding With*() to use individually. (#1810)
Removed the Tracer and IsRecording method from the ReadOnlySpan in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace. The Tracer method is not a required to be included in this interface and given the mutable nature of the tracer that is associated with a span, this method is not appropriate. The IsRecording method returns if the span is recording or not. A read-only span value does not need to know if updates to it will be recorded or not. By definition, it cannot be updated so there is no point in communicating if an update is recorded. (#1873)
Removed the SpanSnapshot type from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace package. The use of this type has been replaced with the use of the explicitly immutable ReadOnlySpan type. When a concrete representation of a read-only span is needed for testing, the newly added SpanStub in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace/tracetest package should be used. (#1873)
Removed the Tracer method from the Span interface in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace package. Using the same tracer that created a span introduces the error where an instrumentation library's Tracer is used by other code instead of their own. The "go.opentelemetry.io/otel".Tracer function or a TracerProvider should be used to acquire a library specific Tracer instead. (#1900)
- The TracerProvider() method on the Span interface may also be used to obtain a TracerProvider using the same trace processing pipeline. (#2009)
The http.url attribute generated by HTTPClientAttributesFromHTTPRequest will no longer include username or password information. (#1919)
Removed IsEmpty method of the TraceState type in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace package in favor of using the added TraceState.Len method. (#1931)
Removed Set, Value, ContextWithValue, ContextWithoutValue, and ContextWithEmpty functions in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/baggage package. Handling of baggage is now done using the added Baggage type and related context functions (ContextWithBaggage, ContextWithoutBaggage, and FromContext) in that package. (#1967)
The InstallNewPipeline and NewExportPipeline creation functions in all the exporters (prometheus, otlp, stdout, jaeger, and zipkin) have been removed. These functions were deemed premature attempts to provide convenience that did not achieve this aim. (#1985)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp exporter has been removed. Use go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace instead. (#1990)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout exporter has been removed. Use go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout/stdouttrace or go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout/stdoutmetric instead. (#2005)

Fixed

Only report errors from the "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/resource".Environment function when they are not nil. (#1850, #1851)
The Shutdown method of the simple SpanProcessor in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace package now honors the context deadline or cancellation. (#1616, #1856)
BatchSpanProcessor now drops span batches that failed to be exported. (#1860)
Use http://localhost:14268/api/traces as default Jaeger collector endpoint instead of http://localhost:14250. (#1898)
Allow trailing and leading whitespace in the parsing of a tracestate header. (#1931)
Add logic to determine if the channel is closed to fix Jaeger exporter test panic with close closed channel. (#1870, #1973)
Avoid transport security when OTLP endpoint is a Unix socket. (#2001)

Security

0.20.0 - 2021-04-23

Added

The Jaeger exporter now reports dropped attributes for a Span event in the exported log. (#1771)
Adds test to check BatchSpanProcessor ignores OnEnd and ForceFlush post Shutdown. (#1772)

Adds otlpgrpc.WithTimeout option for configuring timeout to the otlp/gRPC exporter. (#1821)
Adds jaeger.WithMaxPacketSize option for configuring maximum UDP packet size used when connecting to the Jaeger agent. (#1853)

Fixed

The Span.IsRecording implementation from go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace always returns false when not being sampled. (#1750)
The Jaeger exporter now correctly sets tags for the Span status code and message. This means it uses the correct tag keys ("otel.status_code", "otel.status_description") and does not set the status message as a tag unless it is set on the span. (#1761)
The Jaeger exporter now correctly records Span event's names using the "event" key for a tag. Additionally, this tag is overridden, as specified in the OTel specification, if the event contains an attribute with that key. (#1768)
Zipkin Exporter: Ensure mapping between OTel and Zipkin span data complies with the specification. (#1688)
Fixed typo for default service name in Jaeger Exporter. (#1797)
Fix flaky OTLP for the reconnnection of the client connection. (#1527, #1814)
Fix Jaeger exporter dropping of span batches that exceed the UDP packet size limit. Instead, the exporter now splits the batch into smaller sendable batches. (#1828)

Changed

Span RecordError now records an exception event to comply with the semantic convention specification. (#1492)
Jaeger exporter was updated to use thrift v0.14.1. (#1712)
Migrate from using internally built and maintained version of the OTLP to the one hosted at go.opentelemetry.io/proto/otlp. (#1713)
Migrate from using github.com/gogo/protobuf to google.golang.org/protobuf to match go.opentelemetry.io/proto/otlp. (#1713)
The storage of a local or remote Span in a context.Context using its SpanContext is unified to store just the current Span. The Span's SpanContext can now self-identify as being remote or not. This means that "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace".ContextWithRemoteSpanContext will now overwrite any existing current Span, not just existing remote Spans, and make it the current Span in a context.Context. (#1731)
Improve OTLP/gRPC exporter connection errors. (#1737)
Information about a parent span context in a "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/export/trace".SpanSnapshot is unified in a new Parent field. The existing ParentSpanID and HasRemoteParent fields are removed in favor of this. (#1748)
The ParentContext field of the "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace".SamplingParameters is updated to hold a context.Context containing the parent span. This changes it to make SamplingParameters conform with the OpenTelemetry specification. (#1749)
Updated Jaeger Environment Variables: JAEGER_ENDPOINT, JAEGER_USER, JAEGER_PASSWORD to OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_ENDPOINT, OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_USER, OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_PASSWORD in compliance with OTel specification. (#1752)
Modify BatchSpanProcessor.ForceFlush to abort after timeout/cancellation. (#1757)
The DroppedAttributeCount field of the Span in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel package now only represents the number of attributes dropped for the span itself. It no longer is a conglomerate of itself, events, and link attributes that have been dropped. (#1771)
Make ExportSpans in Jaeger Exporter honor context deadline. (#1773)
Modify Zipkin Exporter default service name, use default resource's serviceName instead of empty. (#1777)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/export/trace package is merged into the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace package. (#1778)
The prometheus.InstallNewPipeline example is moved from comment to example test (#1796)
The convenience functions for the stdout exporter have been updated to return the TracerProvider implementation and enable the shutdown of the exporter. (#1800)
Replace the flush function returned from the Jaeger exporter's convenience creation functions (InstallNewPipeline and NewExportPipeline) with the TracerProvider implementation they create. This enables the caller to shutdown and flush using the related TracerProvider methods. (#1822)
Updated the Jaeger exporter to have a default endpoint, http://localhost:14250, for the collector. (#1824)
Changed the function WithCollectorEndpoint in the Jaeger exporter to no longer accept an endpoint as an argument. The endpoint can be passed with the CollectorEndpointOption using the WithEndpoint function or by setting the OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_ENDPOINT environment variable value appropriately. (#1824)
The Jaeger exporter no longer batches exported spans itself, instead it relies on the SDK's BatchSpanProcessor for this functionality. (#1830)
The Jaeger exporter creation functions (NewRawExporter, NewExportPipeline, and InstallNewPipeline) no longer accept the removed Option type as a variadic argument. (#1830)

Removed

Removed Jaeger Environment variables: JAEGER_SERVICE_NAME, JAEGER_DISABLED, JAEGER_TAGS These environment variables will no longer be used to override values of the Jaeger exporter (#1752)
No longer set the links for a Span in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace that is configured to be a new root. This is unspecified behavior that the OpenTelemetry community plans to standardize in the future. To prevent backwards incompatible changes when it is specified, these links are removed. (#1726)
Setting error status while recording error with Span from oteltest package. (#1729)
The concept of a remote and local Span stored in a context is unified to just the current Span. Because of this "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace".RemoteSpanContextFromContext is removed as it is no longer needed. Instead, "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace".SpanContextFromContext can be used to return the current Span. If needed, that Span's SpanContext.IsRemote() can then be used to determine if it is remote or not. (#1731)
The HasRemoteParent field of the "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace".SamplingParameters is removed. This field is redundant to the information returned from the Remote method of the SpanContext held in the ParentContext field. (#1749)
The trace.FlagsDebug and trace.FlagsDeferred constants have been removed and will be localized to the B3 propagator. (#1770)
Remove Process configuration, WithProcessFromEnv and ProcessFromEnv, and type from the Jaeger exporter package. The information that could be configured in the Process struct should be configured in a Resource instead. (#1776, #1804)
Remove the WithDisabled option from the Jaeger exporter. To disable the exporter unregister it from the TracerProvider or use a no-operation TracerProvider. (#1806)
Removed the functions CollectorEndpointFromEnv and WithCollectorEndpointOptionFromEnv from the Jaeger exporter. These functions for retrieving specific environment variable values are redundant of other internal functions and are not intended for end user use. (#1824)
Removed the Jaeger exporter WithSDKOptions Option. This option was used to set SDK options for the exporter creation convenience functions. These functions are provided as a way to easily setup or install the exporter with what are deemed reasonable SDK settings for common use cases. If the SDK needs to be configured differently, the NewRawExporter function and direct setup of the SDK with the desired settings should be used. (#1825)
The WithBufferMaxCount and WithBatchMaxCount Options from the Jaeger exporter are removed. The exporter no longer batches exports, instead relying on the SDK's BatchSpanProcessor for this functionality. (#1830)
The Jaeger exporter Option type is removed. The type is no longer used by the exporter to configure anything. All the previous configurations these options provided were duplicates of SDK configuration. They have been removed in favor of using the SDK configuration and focuses the exporter configuration to be only about the endpoints it will send telemetry to. (#1830)

Replace StartOption and EndOption in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/trace with SpanOption. This change is matched by replacing the StartConfig and EndConfig with a unified SpanConfig. (#1108)
Replace the LinkedTo span option in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/trace with WithLinks. This is be more consistent with our other option patterns, i.e. passing the item to be configured directly instead of its component parts, and provides a cleaner function signature. (#1108)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/trace TracerOption was changed to an interface to conform to project option conventions. (#1109)
Move the B3 and TraceContext from within the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/trace package to their own go.opentelemetry.io/otel/propagators package. This removal of the propagators is reflective of the OpenTelemetry specification for these propagators as well as cleans up the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/trace API. (#1118)

Remove the semantic convention for HTTP status text, HTTPStatusTextKey from package go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv. (#1194)

Fixed

Zipkin example no longer mentions ParentSampler, corrected to ParentBased. (#1171)

0.11.0 - 2020-08-24

Added

Support for exporting array-valued attributes via OTLP. (#992)
Noop and InMemory SpanBatcher implementations to help with testing integrations. (#994)
Support for filtering metric label sets. (#1047)
A dimensionality-reducing metric Processor. (#1057)
Integration tests for more OTel Collector Attribute types. (#1062)
A new WithSpanProcessor ProviderOption is added to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace package to create a Provider and automatically register the SpanProcessor. (#1078)

Changed

Rename sdk/metric/processor/test to sdk/metric/processor/processortest. (#1049)
Rename sdk/metric/controller/test to sdk/metric/controller/controllertest. (#1049)
Rename api/testharness to api/apitest. (#1049)
Rename api/trace/testtrace to api/trace/tracetest. (#1049)
Change Metric Processor to merge multiple observations. (#1024)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/bridge/opentracing bridge package has been made into its own module. This removes the package dependencies of this bridge from the rest of the OpenTelemetry based project. (#1038)
Renamed go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/standard package to go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv to avoid the ambiguous and generic name standard and better describe the package as containing OpenTelemetry semantic conventions. (#1016)
The environment variable used for resource detection has been changed from OTEL_RESOURCE_LABELS to OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES (#1042)
Replace WithSyncer with WithBatcher in examples. (#1044)
Replace the google.golang.org/grpc/codes dependency in the API with an equivalent go.opentelemetry.io/otel/codes package. (#1046)
Merge the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/label and go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/kv into the new go.opentelemetry.io/otel/label package. (#1060)
Unify Callback Function Naming. Rename *Callback with *Func. (#1061)
CI builds validate against last two versions of Go, dropping 1.13 and adding 1.15. (#1064)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/export/trace interfaces SpanSyncer and SpanBatcher have been replaced with a specification compliant Exporter interface. This interface still supports the export of SpanData, but only as a slice. Implementation are also required now to return any error from ExportSpans if one occurs as well as implement a Shutdown method for exporter clean-up. (#1078)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace NewBatchSpanProcessor function no longer returns an error. If a nil exporter is passed as an argument to this function, instead of it returning an error, it now returns a BatchSpanProcessor that handles the export of SpanData by not taking any action. (#1078)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace NewProvider function to create a Provider no longer returns an error, instead only a *Provider. This change is related to NewBatchSpanProcessor not returning an error which was the only error this function would return. (#1078)

Removed

Duplicate, unused API sampler interface. (#999) Use the Sampler interface provided by the SDK instead.
The grpctrace instrumentation was moved to the go.opentelemetry.io/contrib repository and out of this repository. This move includes moving the grpc example to the go.opentelemetry.io/contrib as well. (#1027)
The WithSpan method of the Tracer interface. The functionality this method provided was limited compared to what a user can provide themselves. It was removed with the understanding that if there is sufficient user need it can be added back based on actual user usage. (#1043)
The RegisterSpanProcessor and UnregisterSpanProcessor functions. These were holdovers from an approach prior to the TracerProvider design. They were not used anymore. (#1077)
The oterror package. (#1026)
The othttp and httptrace instrumentations were moved to go.opentelemetry.io/contrib. (#1032)

Fixed

The semconv.HTTPServerMetricAttributesFromHTTPRequest() function no longer generates the high-cardinality http.request.content.length label. (#1031)
Correct instrumentation version tag in Jaeger exporter. (#1037)
The SDK span will now set an error event if the End method is called during a panic (i.e. it was deferred). (#1043)
Move internally generated protobuf code from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel to the OTLP exporter to reduce dependency overhead. (#1050)
The otel-collector example referenced outdated collector processors. (#1006)

0.10.0 - 2020-07-29

This release migrates the default OpenTelemetry SDK into its own Go module, decoupling the SDK from the API and reducing dependencies for instrumentation packages.

Added

The Zipkin exporter now has NewExportPipeline and InstallNewPipeline constructor functions to match the common pattern. These function build a new exporter with default SDK options and register the exporter with the global package respectively. (#944)
Add propagator option for gRPC instrumentation. (#986)
The testtrace package now tracks the trace.SpanKind for each span. (#987)

Changed

Replace the RegisterGlobal Option in the Jaeger exporter with an InstallNewPipeline constructor function. This matches the other exporter constructor patterns and will register a new exporter after building it with default configuration. (#944)
The trace (go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/trace/stdout) and metric (go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/metric/stdout) stdout exporters are now merged into a single exporter at go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout. This new exporter was made into its own Go module to follow the pattern of all exporters and decouple it from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel module. (#956, #963)
Move the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/test test package to go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/export/metric/metrictest. (#962)
The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/kv/value package was merged into the parent go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/kv package. (#968)
- value.Bool was replaced with kv.BoolValue.
- value.Int64 was replaced with kv.Int64Value.
- value.Uint64 was replaced with kv.Uint64Value.
- value.Float64 was replaced with kv.Float64Value.
- value.Int32 was replaced with kv.Int32Value.
- value.Uint32 was replaced with kv.Uint32Value.
- value.Float32 was replaced with kv.Float32Value.
- value.String was replaced with kv.StringValue.
- value.Int was replaced with kv.IntValue.
- value.Uint was replaced with kv.UintValue.
- value.Array was replaced with kv.ArrayValue.
Rename Infer to Any in the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/kv package. (#972)
Change othttp to use the httpsnoop package to wrap the ResponseWriter so that optional interfaces (http.Hijacker, http.Flusher, etc.) that are implemented by the original ResponseWriterare also implemented by the wrapped ResponseWriter. (#979)
Rename go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric/aggregator/test package to go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric/aggregator/aggregatortest. (#980)
Make the SDK into its own Go module called go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk. (#985)
Changed the default trace Sampler from AlwaysOn to ParentOrElse(AlwaysOn). (#989)

Removed

The IndexedAttribute function from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/label package was removed in favor of IndexedLabel which it was synonymous with. (#970)

Fixed

Bump github.com/golangci/golangci-lint from 1.28.3 to 1.29.0 in /tools. (#953)
Bump github.com/google/go-cmp from 0.5.0 to 0.5.1. (#957)

Correct Go language formatting in the README documentation. (#961)
Remove default SDK dependencies from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api package. (#977)
Remove default SDK dependencies from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/instrumentation package. (#983)
Move documented examples for go.opentelemetry.io/otel/instrumentation/grpctrace interceptors into Go example tests. (#984)

0.9.0 - 2020-07-20

Added

A new Resource Detector interface is included to allow resources to be automatically detected and included. (#939)
A Detector to automatically detect resources from an environment variable. (#939)
Github action to generate protobuf Go bindings locally in internal/opentelemetry-proto-gen. (#938)
OTLP .proto files from open-telemetry/opentelemetry-proto imported as a git submodule under internal/opentelemetry-proto. References to github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-proto changed to go.opentelemetry.io/otel/internal/opentelemetry-proto-gen. (#942)

Changed

Non-nil value structs for key-value pairs will be marshalled using JSON rather than Sprintf. (#948)

Removed

Removed dependency on github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector. (#943)

0.8.0 - 2020-07-09

Added

The B3Encoding type to represent the B3 encoding(s) the B3 propagator can inject. A value for HTTP supported encodings (Multiple Header: MultipleHeader, Single Header: SingleHeader) are included. (#882)
The FlagsDeferred trace flag to indicate if the trace sampling decision has been deferred. (#882)
The FlagsDebug trace flag to indicate if the trace is a debug trace. (#882)
Add peer.service semantic attribute. (#898)
Add database-specific semantic attributes. (#899)
Add semantic convention for faas.coldstart and container.id. (#909)
Add http content size semantic conventions. (#905)
Include http.request_content_length in HTTP request basic attributes. (#905)
Add semantic conventions for operating system process resource attribute keys. (#919)
The Jaeger exporter now has a WithBatchMaxCount option to specify the maximum number of spans sent in a batch. (#931)

Changed

Update CONTRIBUTING.md to ask for updates to CHANGELOG.md with each pull request. (#879)
Use lowercase header names for B3 Multiple Headers. (#881)
The B3 propagator SingleHeader field has been replaced with InjectEncoding. This new field can be set to combinations of the B3Encoding bitmasks and will inject trace information in these encodings. If no encoding is set, the propagator will default to MultipleHeader encoding. (#882)
The B3 propagator now extracts from either HTTP encoding of B3 (Single Header or Multiple Header) based on what is contained in the header. Preference is given to Single Header encoding with Multiple Header being the fallback if Single Header is not found or is invalid. This behavior change is made to dynamically support all correctly encoded traces received instead of having to guess the expected encoding prior to receiving. (#882)
Extend semantic conventions for RPC. (#900)
To match constant naming conventions in the api/standard package, the FaaS* key names are appended with a suffix of Key. (#920)
- "api/standard".FaaSName -> FaaSNameKey
- "api/standard".FaaSID -> FaaSIDKey
- "api/standard".FaaSVersion -> FaaSVersionKey
- "api/standard".FaaSInstance -> FaaSInstanceKey

Removed

The FlagsUnused trace flag is removed. The purpose of this flag was to act as the inverse of FlagsSampled, the inverse of FlagsSampled is used instead. (#882)
The B3 header constants (B3SingleHeader, B3DebugFlagHeader, B3TraceIDHeader, B3SpanIDHeader, B3SampledHeader, B3ParentSpanIDHeader) are removed. If B3 header keys are needed the authoritative OpenZipkin package constants should be used instead. (#882)

Fixed

The B3 Single Header name is now correctly b3 instead of the previous X-B3. (#881)
The B3 propagator now correctly supports sampling only values (b3: 0, b3: 1, or b3: d) for a Single B3 Header. (#882)
The B3 propagator now propagates the debug flag. This removes the behavior of changing the debug flag into a set sampling bit. Instead, this now follow the B3 specification and omits the X-B3-Sampling header. (#882)
The B3 propagator now tracks "unset" sampling state (meaning "defer the decision") and does not set the X-B3-Sampling header when injecting. (#882)
Bump github.com/itchyny/gojq from 0.10.3 to 0.10.4 in /tools. (#883)
Bump github.com/opentracing/opentracing-go from v1.1.1-0.20190913142402-a7454ce5950e to v1.2.0. (#885)
The tracing time conversion for OTLP spans is now correctly set to UnixNano. (#896)
Ensure span status is not set to Unknown when no HTTP status code is provided as it is assumed to be 200 OK. (#908)
Ensure httptrace.clientTracer closes http.headers span. (#912)
Prometheus exporter will not apply stale updates or forget inactive metrics. (#903)
Add test for api.standard HTTPClientAttributesFromHTTPRequest. (#905)
Bump github.com/golangci/golangci-lint from 1.27.0 to 1.28.1 in /tools. (#901, #913)
Update otel-collector example to use the v0.5.0 collector. (#915)
The grpctrace instrumentation uses a span name conforming to the OpenTelemetry semantic conventions (does not contain a leading slash (/)). (#922)
The grpctrace instrumentation includes an rpc.method attribute now set to the gRPC method name. (#900, #922)
The grpctrace instrumentation rpc.service attribute now contains the package name if one exists. This is in accordance with OpenTelemetry semantic conventions. (#922)
Correlation Context extractor will no longer insert an empty map into the returned context when no valid values are extracted. (#923)
Bump google.golang.org/api from 0.28.0 to 0.29.0 in /exporters/trace/jaeger. (#925)
Bump github.com/itchyny/gojq from 0.10.4 to 0.11.0 in /tools. (#926)
Bump github.com/golangci/golangci-lint from 1.28.1 to 1.28.2 in /tools. (#930)

0.7.0 - 2020-06-26

This release implements the v0.5.0 version of the OpenTelemetry specification.

Added

The othttp instrumentation now includes default metrics. (#861)
This CHANGELOG file to track all changes in the project going forward.
Support for array type attributes. (#798)
Apply transitive dependabot go.mod dependency updates as part of a new automatic Github workflow. (#844)
Timestamps are now passed to exporters for each export. (#835)
Add new Accumulation type to metric SDK to transport telemetry from Accumulators to Processors. This replaces the prior Record struct use for this purpose. (#835)
New dependabot integration to automate package upgrades. (#814)
Meter and Tracer implementations accept instrumentation version version as an optional argument. This instrumentation version is passed on to exporters. (#811) (#805) (#802)
The OTLP exporter includes the instrumentation version in telemetry it exports. (#811)
Environment variables for Jaeger exporter are supported. (#796)
New aggregation.Kind in the export metric API. (#808)
New example that uses OTLP and the collector. (#790)
Handle errors in the span SetName during span initialization. (#791)
Default service config to enable retries for retry-able failed requests in the OTLP exporter and an option to override this default. (#777)
New go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/oterror package to uniformly support error handling and definitions for the project. (#778)
New global default implementation of the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/oterror.Handler interface to be used to handle errors prior to an user defined Handler. There is also functionality for the user to register their Handler as well as a convenience function Handle to handle an error with this global Handler(#778)
Options to specify propagators for httptrace and grpctrace instrumentation. (#784)
The required application/json header for the Zipkin exporter is included in all exports. (#774)

Changed

Rename Integrator to Processor in the metric SDK. (#863)
Rename AggregationSelector to AggregatorSelector. (#859)
Rename SynchronizedCopy to SynchronizedMove. (#858)
Rename simple integrator to basic integrator. (#857)
Merge otlp collector examples. (#841)
Change the metric SDK to support cumulative, delta, and pass-through exporters directly. With these changes, cumulative and delta specific exporters are able to request the correct kind of aggregation from the SDK. (#840)
The Aggregator.Checkpoint API is renamed to SynchronizedCopy and adds an argument, a different Aggregator into which the copy is stored. (#812)
The export.Aggregator contract is that Update() and SynchronizedCopy() are synchronized with each other. All the aggregation interfaces (Sum, LastValue, ...) are not meant to be synchronized, as the caller is expected to synchronize aggregators at a higher level after the Accumulator. Some of the Aggregators used unnecessary locking and that has been cleaned up. (#812)
Use of metric.Number was replaced by int64 now that we use sync.Mutex in the MinMaxSumCount and Histogram Aggregators. (#812)
Replace AlwaysParentSample with ParentSample(fallback) to match the OpenTelemetry v0.5.0 specification. (#810)
Rename sdk/export/metric/aggregator to sdk/export/metric/aggregation. #808

Rename plugin directory to instrumentation to match the OpenTelemetry specification. (#779)
Makes the argument order to Histogram and DDSketch New() consistent. (#781)

Removed

Uint64NumberKind and related functions from the API. (#864)

0.3.0 - 2020-03-21

This is a first official beta release, which provides almost fully complete metrics, tracing, and context propagation functionality. There is still a possibility of breaking changes.

Added

Add Observer metric instrument. (#474)
Add global Propagators functionality to enable deferred initialization for propagators registered before the first Meter SDK is installed. (#494)
Simplified export setup pipeline for the jaeger exporter to match other exporters. (#459)
The zipkin trace exporter. (#495)
The OTLP exporter to export metric and trace telemetry to the OpenTelemetry collector. (#497) (#544) (#545)
Add StatusMessage field to the trace Span. (#524)
Context propagation in OpenTracing bridge in terms of OpenTelemetry context propagation. (#525)
The Resource type was added to the SDK. (#528)
The global API now supports a Tracer and Meter function as shortcuts to getting a global *Provider and calling these methods directly. (#538)
The metric API now defines a generic MeterImpl interface to support general purpose Meter construction. Additionally, SyncImpl and AsyncImpl are added to support general purpose instrument construction. (#560)
A metric Kind is added to represent the MeasureKind, ObserverKind, and CounterKind. (#560)
Scripts to better automate the release process. (#576)

Changed

Default to to use AlwaysSampler instead of ProbabilitySampler to match OpenTelemetry specification. (#506)
Renamed AlwaysSampleSampler to AlwaysOnSampler in the trace API. (#511)
Renamed NeverSampleSampler to AlwaysOffSampler in the trace API. (#511)
The Status field of the Span was changed to StatusCode to disambiguate with the added StatusMessage. (#524)
Updated the trace Sampler interface conform to the OpenTelemetry specification. (#531)
Rename metric API Options to Config. (#541)
Rename metric Counter aggregator to be Sum. (#541)
Unify metric options into Option from instrument specific options. (#541)
The trace API's TraceProvider now support Resources. (#545)
Correct error in zipkin module name. (#548)
The jaeger trace exporter now supports Resources. (#551)
Metric SDK now supports Resources. The WithResource option was added to configure a Resource on creation and the Resource method was added to the metric Descriptor to return the associated Resource. (#552)
Replace ErrNoLastValue and ErrEmptyDataSet by ErrNoData in the metric SDK. (#557)
The stdout trace exporter now supports Resources. (#558)
The metric Descriptor is now included at the API instead of the SDK. (#560)
Replace Ordered with an iterator in export.Labels. (#567)

Removed

The vendor specific Stackdriver. It is now hosted on 3rd party vendor infrastructure. (#452)
The Unregister method for metric observers as it is not in the OpenTelemetry specification. (#560)
GetDescriptor from the metric SDK. (#575)
The Gauge instrument from the metric API. (#537)

Fixed

Make histogram aggregator checkpoint consistent. (#438)
Update README with import instructions and how to build and test. (#505)
The default label encoding was updated to be unique. (#508)
Use NewRoot in the othttp plugin for public endpoints. (#513)

Update OTLP exporter with latest protobuf. (#550)
Add filters to the othttp plugin. (#556)
Provide an implementation of the Header* filters that do not depend on Go 1.14. (#565)
Encode labels once during checkpoint. The checkpoint function is executed in a single thread so we can do the encoding lazily before passing the encoded version of labels to the exporter. This is a cheap and quick way to avoid encoding the labels on every collection interval. (#572)
Run coverage over all packages in COVERAGE_MOD_DIR. (#573)

0.2.3 - 2020-03-04

Added

RecordError method on Spans in the trace API to Simplify adding error events to spans. (#473)
Configurable push frequency for exporters setup pipeline. (#504)

Changed

Rename the exporter directory to exporters. The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporter/trace/jaeger package was mistakenly released with a v1.0.0 tag instead of v0.1.0. This resulted in all subsequent releases not becoming the default latest. A consequence of this was that all go gets pulled in the incompatible v0.1.0 release of that package when pulling in more recent packages from other otel packages. Renaming the exporter directory to exporters fixes this issue by renaming the package and therefore clearing any existing dependency tags. Consequentially, this action also renames all exporter packages. (#502)

Removed

The CorrelationContextHeader constant in the correlation package is no longer exported. (#503)

0.2.2 - 2020-02-27

Added

HTTPSupplier interface in the propagation API to specify methods to retrieve and store a single value for a key to be associated with a carrier. (#467)

HTTPPropagator interface in the propagation API to inject and extract from an HTTPSupplier. (#467)
WithInjectors and WithExtractors functions to the propagator API to configure injectors and extractors to use. (#467)
ExtractHTTP and InjectHTTP functions to apply configured HTTP extractors and injectors to a passed context. (#467)
Histogram aggregator. (#433)
DefaultPropagator function and have it return trace.TraceContext as the default context propagator. (#456)
AlwaysParentSample sampler to the trace API. (#455)
WithNewRoot option function to the trace API to specify the created span should be considered a root span. (#451)

Reword function documentation in gRPC plugin. (#446)
Send the span.kind tag to Jaeger from the jaeger exporter. (#441)
