## Version 1.44.0/0.65b0 (2026-07-16)

### Added

- `opentelemetry-docker-tests`: Refactor Docker tests to properly validate
  contents of exported telemetry
  ([#5220](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5220))
- `opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-common`: add shared package for common OTLP
  utilities
  ([#5252](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5252))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: add `MissingDependencyError` exception for declarative
  configuration and use it for missing optional dependency errors
  ([#5265](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5265))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: Add ability to refresh process dependent Resource
  attributes
  ([#5280](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5280))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: add `force_flush` method to `LogRecordExporter` ABC
  ([#5294](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5294))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: Make it possible to limit the size of stored spans in
  InMemorySpanExporter
  ([#5296](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5296))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: add log record limits environment variables
  `OTEL_LOGRECORD_ATTRIBUTE_COUNT_LIMIT` and
  `OTEL_LOGRECORD_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_LENGTH_LIMIT`
  ([#5300](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5300))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: add support for file exporter with declarative config
  ([#5311](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5311))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: expose `SynchronousMultiLogRecordProcessor` and
  `ConcurrentMultiLogRecordProcessor` publicly
  ([#5327](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5327))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: point the declarative configuration package README at
  the shared [language support status
  matrix](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-configuration/blob/main/language-support-status.md#python)
  in the `opentelemetry-configuration` repo, so Python conformance status lives
  alongside the other languages instead of being duplicated per language SDK.
  ([#5347](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5347))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: document that Python-implementation extensions
  (`OTEL_PYTHON_*` variables) are bypassed when `OTEL_CONFIG_FILE` is set. The
  env-var initialisation path is skipped entirely in favour of the declarative
  file; honouring these alongside a config file is tracked as a follow-up.
  ([#5353](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5353))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: wire id_generator from declarative configuration to
  TracerProvider
  ([#5363](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5363))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: Add support for activating instrumentors from a
  declarative configuration file via the `instrumentation/development.python`
  section. Instrumentors can declare a `configuration` attribute to have their
  options validated through the same type-coercion pipeline used for SDK
  component configuration.
  ([#5372](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5372))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: add `record_min_max` option to
  `ExponentialBucketHistogramAggregation`, matching the option already
  available on `ExplicitBucketHistogramAggregation` and required by the
  specification
  ([#5377](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5377))

### Changed

- opentelemetry-sdk: revert BoundedAttributes RLock back to Lock
  ([#5329](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5329))
- docs: update logs example to use `opentelemetry-instrumentation-logging`
  ([#5344](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5344))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: bump declarative configuration schema to v1.1.0
  ([#5345](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5345))
- `opentelemetry-configuration`: declarative configuration moves from
  `opentelemetry.sdk._configuration` into the new public
  `opentelemetry-configuration` package (`opentelemetry.configuration`
  namespace), published experimentally. `opentelemetry-sdk[file-configuration]`
  continues to work as an alias that installs `opentelemetry-configuration`
  alongside the SDK.
  ([#5356](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5356))
- `opentelemetry-api`: remove env carrier environment snapshot caching, you now
  have to pass explicitly the mapping where to get the environment variables
  from as the `EnvironmentGetter.get` first argument.
  ([#5366](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5366))
- `opentelemetry-semantic-conventions`: bump to 1.42.0
  ([#5410](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5410))
- `opentelemetry-semantic-conventions`: bump to 1.43.0
  ([#5413](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5413))

### Removed

- `opentelemetry-api`, `opentelemetry-sdk`: Removed deprecated Events API/SDK.
  Use `LogRecord` with the `event_name` field set instead.
  ([#5293](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5293))

### Fixed

- `opentelemetry-sdk`: Optimize `LogRecord` memory in `BatchLogRecordProcessor`
  by clearing the `Context` object before buffering. This is a potentially
  breaking change for custom log exporters that access `context` from the
  exported `ReadableLogRecord`, as the context will now be an empty `Context()`
  instead of the original.
  ([#4977](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4977))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: drop non-finite measurements (NaN and Inf) at the
  instrument level to prevent permanent aggregation poisoning
  ([#5336](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5336))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: raise `ValueError` when
  `ExplicitBucketHistogramAggregation` boundaries are not strictly increasing
  or finite
  ([#5340](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5340))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: `ProcessResourceDetector` no longer collects or emits
  `process.command_args` and `process.command_line` by default since the values
  are not sanitized and may contain sensitive information. Users who depend
  on these resource attributes must pass `include_command_args=True`.
  ([#5364](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5364))
- `opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http`: fix the OTLP HTTP metric exporter
  self-observability metrics over-counting data points when
  `max_export_batch_size` splits a batch; each split now reports its own
  data-point count instead of the whole-batch count.
  ([#5370](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5370))
- `opentelemetry-api`: Prevent in-place mutation of `Context` via inherited
  `dict` methods
  ([#5399](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5399))

  configuration now works via the factory functions.
  ([#5269](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5269))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: add `configure_sdk(config)` to the declarative
  configuration API. Single entry point that takes a parsed
  `OpenTelemetryConfiguration`, builds the resource, and applies the
  tracer/meter/logger providers and propagator globally. Honors the top-level
  `disabled` flag.
  ([#5270](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5270))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: the SDK configurator now honors the `OTEL_CONFIG_FILE`
  environment variable. When set, the SDK loads and applies the referenced
  declarative configuration file (YAML or JSON) in place of the env-var-based
  init path.
  ([#5271](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5271))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: update declarative config to use
  `ServiceInstanceIdResourceDetector`
  ([#5299](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5299))
- `opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-common`,

- `opentelemetry-api`: conditionally import entrypoints for
  `opentelemetry_context` only if the `OTEL_PYTHON_CONTEXT` env variable is
  defined, return `ContextVarsRuntimeContext` otherwise
  ([#5144](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5144))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: rename "known/unknown" to "built-in/user-defined"

  `compression: deflate` instead of rejecting it as unsupported.
  ([#5075](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5075))
- Fix incorrect code example in `create_tracer()` docstring
  ([#5077](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5077))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: Fix `ProcessResourceDetector` to use `sys.orig_argv` so
  that `process.command`, `process.command_line`, and `process.command_args`
  reflect the original invocation for `python -m <module>` runs (where
  `sys.argv[0]` is rewritten to the module path)
  ([#5083](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5083))

  mutations do not affect recorded data points
  ([#5106](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5106))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: make resource detector ordering deterministic
  ([#5120](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5120))
- Fix incorrect type annotation on `detectors` parameter of
  `get_aggregated_resources`
  ([#5135](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5135))
- `opentelemetry-api`: Enforce W3C Baggage size limits on outbound propagation
  in `W3CBaggagePropagator.inject()`. Previously only inbound extraction
  enforced limits; now inject also caps entries at 180, individual pairs at
  4096 bytes, and total header at 8192 bytes per the W3C Baggage spec. The
  extract path max_pairs limit now counts all size-valid entries rather than
  only successfully parsed ones.
  ([#5163](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5163))
- `opentelemetry-sdk`: fix multi-processor `force_flush` skipping remaining

  ([#4775](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4775))
- semantic-conventions: Bump to 1.38.0
  ([#4791](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4791))
- [BREAKING] Remove LogData and extend SDK LogRecord to have instrumentation scope
  ([#4676](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4676))
- [BREAKING] Rename several classes from Log to LogRecord
  ([#4647](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4647))

  **Migration Guide:**

  `LogData` has been removed. Users should update their code as follows:

  - **For Log Exporters:** Change from `Sequence[LogData]` to `Sequence[ReadableLogRecord]`
    ```python
    # Before
    from opentelemetry.sdk._logs import LogData


    def export(self, batch: Sequence[LogData]) -> LogRecordExportResult: ...


    # After
    from opentelemetry.sdk._logs import ReadableLogRecord


    def export(self, batch: Sequence[ReadableLogRecord]) -> LogRecordExportResult: ...
    ```

  - **For Log Processors:** Use `ReadWriteLogRecord` for processing, `ReadableLogRecord` for exporting
    ```python
    # Before
    from opentelemetry.sdk._logs import LogData


    def on_emit(self, log_data: LogData): ...


    # After
    from opentelemetry.sdk._logs import ReadWriteLogRecord, ReadableLogRecord


    def on_emit(self, log_record: ReadWriteLogRecord):
        # Convert to ReadableLogRecord before exporting
        readable = ReadableLogRecord(
            log_record=log_record.log_record,
            resource=log_record.resource or Resource.create({}),
            instrumentation_scope=log_record.instrumentation_scope,
            limits=log_record.limits,
        )
        ...
    ```

  - **Accessing log data:** Use the same attributes on `ReadableLogRecord`/`ReadWriteLogRecord`
    - `log_record.log_record` - The API LogRecord (contains body, severity, attributes, etc.)
    - `log_record.resource` - The Resource
    - `log_record.instrumentation_scope` - The InstrumentationScope (now included, was in LogData before)
    - `log_record.limits` - The LogRecordLimits
- Mark the Events API/SDK as deprecated. The Logs API/SDK should be used instead, an event is now a `LogRecord` with the `event_name` field set
([#4654](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4654)).
- Fix type checking for built-in metric exporters
  ([#4820](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4820))

## Version 1.38.0/0.59b0 (2025-10-16)

- Add `rstcheck` to pre-commit to stop introducing invalid RST
  ([#4755](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4755))
- logs: extend Logger.emit to accept separated keyword arguments
  ([#4737](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4737))
- logs: add warnings for classes that would be deprecated and renamed in 1.39.0
  ([#4771](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4771))

## Version 1.37.0/0.58b0 (2025-09-11)

- Add experimental composite samplers
  ([#4714](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4714))
- Add new environment variables to the SDK `OTEL_PYTHON_EXPORTER_OTLP_{HTTP/GRPC}_{METRICS/TRACES/LOGS}_CREDENTIAL_PROVIDER` that can be used to
inject a `requests.Session` or `grpc.ChannelCredentials` object into OTLP exporters created during auto instrumentation [#4689](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4689).
- Filter duplicate logs out of some internal `logger`'s logs on the export logs path that might otherwise endlessly log or cause a recursion depth exceeded issue in cases where logging itself results in an exception.
  ([#4695](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4695)).
- docs: linked the examples with their github source code location and added Prometheus example
  ([#4728](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4728))
- Permit to override default HTTP OTLP exporters headers
  ([#4634](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4634))
- semantic-conventions: Bump to 1.37.0
  ([#4731](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4731))
- opentelemetry-sdk: fix handling of OTEL_ATTRIBUTE_COUNT_LIMIT in logs
  ([#4677](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4677))
- Performance: Cache `importlib_metadata.entry_points`
  ([#4735](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4735))
- opentelemetry-sdk: fix calling Logger.emit with an API LogRecord instance
  ([#4741](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4741))

## Version 1.36.0/0.57b0 (2025-07-29)

- Add missing Prometheus exporter documentation
  ([#4485](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4485))
- Overwrite logging.config.fileConfig and logging.config.dictConfig to ensure
the OTLP `LogHandler` remains attached to the root logger. Fix a bug that
can cause a deadlock to occur over `logging._lock` in some cases ([#4636](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4636)).
- otlp-http-exporter: set default value for param `timeout_sec` in `_export` method
  ([#4691](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4691))
- Update OTLP gRPC/HTTP exporters: calling shutdown will now interrupt exporters that are sleeping
  before a retry attempt, and cause them to return failure immediately.
  Update BatchSpan/LogRecordProcessors: shutdown will now complete after 30 seconds of trying to finish
  exporting any buffered telemetry, instead of continuing to export until all telemetry was exported.
  ([#4638](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4638)).

## Version 1.35.0/0.56b0 (2025-07-11)

- Update OTLP proto to v1.7 [#4645](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4645).
- Add `event_name` as a top level field in the `LogRecord`. Events are now simply logs with the
`event_name` field set, the logs SDK should be used to emit events ([#4652](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4652)).
- Update OTLP gRPC/HTTP exporters: the export timeout is now inclusive of all retries and backoffs.
  A +/-20% jitter was added to all backoffs. A pointless 32 second sleep that occurred after all retries
  had completed/failed was removed.
  ([#4564](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4564)).
- Update ConsoleLogExporter.export to handle LogRecord's containing bytes type
  in the body ([#4614](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4614/)).

- Update logger level to NOTSET in logs example
  ([#4637](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4637))
- Logging API accepts optional `context`; deprecates `trace_id`, `span_id`, `trace_flags`.
  ([#4597](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4597)) and
  ([#4668](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4668))
- sdk: use context instead of trace_id,span_id for initializing LogRecord
  ([#4653](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4653))
- Rename LogRecordProcessor.emit to on_emit
  ([#4648](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4648))
- Logging API hide std_to_otel function to convert python logging severity to otel severity
  ([#4649](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4649))
