This version has a critical issue when the OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER arg is set. It is recommended to avoid the release until 1.5.1 is issued to fix.
This release updates the repackaged OpenTelemetry Java Agent to 1.5.2. This also means, if you use the OpenTelemetry API in your application, you need to update it to 1.5.0.
