End User Changelog

all: Added support for go1.24, bumped minimum version to 1.23 (#12370)
mdatagen: Removing deprecated generated funcs and a few test funcs as well. (#12304)
service: Align component logger attributes with those defined in RFC (#12217)
See Pipeline Component Telemetry RFC

otlpreceiver: Update stability for logs (#12335)
exporterhelper: Implement sync disabled queue used when batching is enabled. (#12245)
exporterhelper: Enable the new pull-based batcher in exporterhelper (#12291)
exporterhelper: Update queue size after the element is done exported (#12399)
After this change the active queue size will include elements in the process of being exported.
otelcol: Add featuregate command to display information about available features (#11998)
The featuregate command allows users to view detailed information about feature gates
including their status, stage, and description.

memorylimiter: Logger no longer attributes to single signal, pipeline, or component. (#12217)
otlpreceiver: Logger no longer attributes to random signal when receiving multiple signals. (#12217)
exporterhelper: Fix undefined behavior access to request after send to next component. This causes random memory access. (#12281)
exporterhelper: Fix default batcher to correctly call all done callbacks exactly once (#12247)
otlpreceiver: Fix OTLP http receiver to correctly set Retry-After (#12367)
otlphttpexporter: Fix parsing logic for Retry-After in OTLP http protocol. (#12366)
The value of Retry-After field can be either an HTTP-date or delay-seconds and the current logic only parsed delay-seconds.
cmd/builder: Ensure unique aliases for modules with same suffix (#12201)

configauth: Remove NewDefaultAuthentication (#12223)
The value returned by this function will always cause an error on startup.
In configgrpc.Client/ServerConfig.Auth, nil should be used instead to disable authentication.
otelcol: Make the ConfigProvider interface a struct (#12297)
Calls to NewConfigProvider will now return *ConfigProvider,
but will otherwise work the same as before.
extension: Remove extension.Settings.ModuleInfo (#12296)
- The functionality is now available as an optional, hidden interface on service's implementation of the Host
component: Remove deprecated field component.TelemetrySettings.MetricsLevel. (#11061)
confighttp: Add ToClientOption type and add it to signature of ToClient method. (#12353)
- This has no use for now, it may be used in the future.
mdatagen: Remove unused not_component config for mdatagen (#12237)

component/componenttest: Deprecate CheckReceiverMetrics in componenenttest (#12185)
Use the metadatatest.AssertEqualMetric series of functions instead of obsreporttest.CheckReceiverMetrics
component/componenttest: Deprecate CheckReceiverTraces in componenenttest (#12185)
Use the metadatatest.AssertEqualMetric series of functions instead of obsreporttest.CheckReceiverTraces
component: Deprecate ConfigValidator and ValidateConfig (#11524)
Please use Validator and Validate respectively from xconfmap.
receiver, scraper, processor, exporter, extension: Deprecate existing MakeFactoryMap functions in favor of generic implementation (#12222)
extension, connector, processor, receiver, exporter, scraper: Deprecate Create* methods from Create*Func types. (#12305)
extensiontest, connectortest, processortest, receivertest, exportertest, scrapertest: Deprecate *test.NewNopSettings in favor of *test.NewNopSettingsWithType (#12305)

xconfmap: Create the xconfmap module and add the Validator interface and Validate function to facilitate config validation (#11524)

configgrpc: Add the omitempty mapstructure tag to struct fields (#12191)
This results in unset fields not being rendered when marshaling.
confignet: Add the omitempty mapstructure tag to struct fields (#12191)
This results in unset fields not being rendered when marshaling.
configtls: Add the omitempty mapstructure tag to struct fields (#12191)
This results in unset fields not being rendered when marshaling.
consumer: Clarify that data cannot be accessed after Consume* func is called. (#12284)
pdata/pprofile: Introduce aggregation temporality constants (#12253)

configgrpc: Apply configured Headers automatically (#12307)
configgrpc now calls metadata.AppendToOutgoingContext automatically in an interceptor.
Components that were manually using metadata.NewOutgoingContext as a workaround no longer need to
do so, unless they are overwriting or adding header keys.
configgrpc: Set Auth to nil in NewDefaultClientConfig/NewDefaultServerConfig (#12223)
The value that was used previously would always cause an error on startup.
exporterqueue: Fix async queue to propagate cancellation all they way to the queue (#12282)
otlpreceiver: Fix OTLP http receiver to correctly set Retry-After (#12367)
extension: Explicitly error out at extension creation time if there is a type mismatch. (#12305)
