core-1.10.0-beta.1

The following changes are from the previous release 1.9.0.

• NuGet: OpenTelemetry v1.10.0-beta.1

  • Added OpenTelemetrySdk.Create API for configuring OpenTelemetry .NET signals
    (logging, tracing, and metrics) via a single builder. This new API simplifies
    bootstrap and teardown, and supports cross-cutting extensions targeting
    IOpenTelemetryBuilder.
    (#5325)

  • Updated the Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Configuration and
    Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.Abstractions packages version to
    9.0.0-rc.1.24431.7.
    (#5853)

  • Added support in metrics for histogram bucket boundaries set via the .NET 9
    InstrumentAdvice<T>
    API.

    Note: With this change explicit bucket histogram boundary resolution will
    apply in the following order:

    1. View API
    2. Advice API
    3. SDK defaults

    See #5854
    for details.

  • Added support for collecting metrics emitted via the .NET 9
    Gauge<T>
    API.
    (#5867)

  See CHANGELOG for details.

• NuGet: OpenTelemetry.Api v1.10.0-beta.1

  • Breaking change: CompositeTextMapPropagator.Fields now returns a
    unioned set of fields from all combined propagators. Previously this always
    returned an empty set.
    (#5745)

  • Optimize performance of TraceContextPropagator.Extract.
    (#5749)

  • Obsoleted the ActivityExtensions.GetStatus and
    ActivityExtensions.SetStatus extension methods. Users should migrate to the
    System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource
    Activity.SetStatus
    API for setting the status and
    Activity.Status
    &
    Activity.StatusDescription
    APIs for reading the status of an Activity instance.
    (#5781)

  • Updated System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource package version to
    9.0.0-rc.1.24431.7.
    (#5853)

    (#5700)

  • Fixed an issue causing NotSupportedExceptions to be thrown on startup when
    AddOtlpExporter registration extensions are called while using custom
    dependency injection containers which automatically create services (Unity,
    Grace, etc.).
    (#5808)

    • Fixed PlatformNotSupportedExceptions being thrown during export when running
      on mobile platforms which caused telemetry to be dropped silently.
      (#5821)

  • Updated Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Abstractions package
    version to 9.0.0-rc.1.24431.7.

core-1.8.1

OpenTelemetry

• Fixed an issue in Logging where unwanted objects (processors, exporters, etc.)
  could be created inside delegates automatically executed by the Options API
  during configuration reload.
  (#5514)

OpenTelemetry.Exporter.OpenTelemetryProtocol

• Fix native AoT warnings in OpenTelemetry.Exporter.OpenTelemetryProtocol.

Instrumentation.Http-1.8.1

OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http

• Breaking Change: Fixed tracing instrumentation so that by default any
  values detected in the query string component of requests are replaced with

  ?key1=value1&key2=value2 becomes ?key1=Redacted&key2=Redacted. You can
  disable this redaction by setting the environment variable
  OTEL_DOTNET_EXPERIMENTAL_HTTPCLIENT_DISABLE_URL_QUERY_REDACTION to true.
