 # Changelog
 
+## [1.14.0](https://github.com/grafana/alloy/compare/v1.13.0...v1.14.0) (2026-02-13)
+
+
+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* **otelcol.receiver.prometheus:** `otelcol.receiver.prometheus` no longer sets start times of OTLP metrics. Grafana Cloud and Mimir do not currently use OTLP metric start times. If you do want your metrics to have them, you can use `otelcol.processor.metric_start_time` with `strategy` set to `true_reset_point` to get the same behaviour.
