on GitHub

This is a release candidate for the v1.16.0/v0.39.0 release. That release is expected to include the v1 release of the OpenTelemetry Go metric API and will provide stability guarantees of that API. See our versioning policy for more information about these stability guarantees.

Added

• Support global MeterProvider in go.opentelemetry.io/otel. (#4039)
  • Use Meter for a metric.Meter from the global metric.MeterProvider.
  • Use GetMeterProivder for a global metric.MeterProvider.
  • Use SetMeterProivder to set the global metric.MeterProvider.

Changed

• Move the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric module to the stable-v1 module set. This stages the metric API to be released as a stable module. (#4038)

Removed

• The go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric/global package is removed.
  Use go.opentelemetry.io/otel instead. (#4039)
