What open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector shipped

V1.71.0/v0.165.0 is out. confighttp is now stable, and pkg/confighttp drops its deprecated keepalive fields, a breaking change. The queue_batch processor moves to beta. Also in this week: a zstd decoder window bound, a recursion limit on AnyValue unmarshalling, and a pdata Map.Ge

The Collector shipped v1.71.0/v0.165.0 this week. confighttp is now marked stable, and the queue_batch processor is at beta for logs, traces and metrics. The release includes a breaking change in pkg/confighttp that removes the deprecated IdleConnTimeout, MaxIdleConns, MaxIdleConnsPerHost and DisableKeepAlives fields, so check configurations that still use them. Other work this week adds a zstd decoder window bound in confighttp and configgrpc, a recursion depth limit for AnyValue proto unmarshalling in pdata, and a Map.Get performance improvement. A fix in the service also stops a nil pointer panic during partial receiver reload fallback.

V1.70.0/v0.164.0 is out. This week: profiles processors now emit the same telemetry as traces, metrics and logs; wait_for_result only honors cancellation while nothing has been done; feature gate names accept underscores; and the gRPC buffer pool gained 64KB, 128KB and 256KB tier

The v1.70.0/v0.164.0 release is out, along with the beta module set. A few changes worth noting for people running the Collector: the profiles processor constructor now reports the same incoming items, outgoing items and internal duration metrics as the traces, metrics and logs constructors, so profiles pipelines are no longer silent in that respect. exporterhelper wait_for_result now honors cancellation only while nothing has been done, which closes a gap where a caller could report a failure for data that had already been delivered. The sending queue had a reference count imbalance for deserialized requests, now fixed. Feature gate names accept underscores, the schema loader rejects directory paths and still returns ErrNotFound for missing files, and the otelgrpc buffer pool gained 64KB,

Weekly update: OTLP HTTP exporter errors now show the resolved URL. mdatagen adds supported_platforms, deterministic default overrides, and xhash.WithUint64 for cleaner generated code. PartitionConfig is now exposed for users to modify.

This week in the collector: the OTLP HTTP exporter now reports the resolved URL in 4xx and 5xx status errors, so messages point at the host actually contacted. mdatagen gained supported_platforms metadata, emits default-value overrides in a deterministic order, and drops a non-deterministic generated test. A new xhash.WithUint64 helper avoids gosec G115 in generated code. PartitionConfig and NewDefaultPartitionConfig are now exposed. Alongside these, several chore fixes corrected doc comments and lint warnings and downgraded betteralign to keep the tools module on go 1.26.0.

V0.163.0 is out across service, scraper and receiver modules. Also this week: exporterhelper queue deadlock fixed, env provider literal defaults and opaque MapList values now redacted in unexpanded config snapshots, pprofiles gRPC sends dictionary references, and a binary size ch

This week the project released v0.163.0 across the service, scraper and receiver module sets. Reliability work includes a fix for an exporterhelper queue deadlock when blocked offers are cancelled, plus a new check on the otelcorecol binary size to catch regressions from dependency changes. Configuration handling got safer: literal defaults in env provider references and opaque MapList values are now redacted in unexpanded config snapshots, TLS errors correctly print the invalid curve value, and the print-config help text no longer mentions a removed feature gate. The pprofiles gRPC path now sends dictionary references, and mdatagen generation fixes cover $ref struct defaults and property declaration order.

This week in the Collector: builder config for omitting resource detectors, statusutil as a submodule, mdatagen deprecation metadata and sending_queue opt-outs, a versioned-metrics gate fix, and omitempty corrections in ServerConfig. Check the release notes for details.

This week in the OpenTelemetry Collector repository: the builder can now omit resource detectors that are not configured through it, and internal statusutil became a submodule with real resolvable module versions. mdatagen gained structured deprecation metadata for config properties, a sending_queue opt-out, a go_struct.custom_default knob, and a rename of x-customType to go_struct.type. We also fixed a versioned-metrics issue where both migration gates enabled emitted both legacy and latest attributes, and corrected omitempty handling on generated config fields and confighttp ServerConfig. See the individual pull requests for full details.

V1.68.0/v0.162.0 released. Fixed batch splitting to drop only oversized items instead of entire batches, optimized metric recording from O(n²) to O, resolved xhash collisions. Includes breaking changes to processor lifecycle tests.

OpenTelemetry Collector v1.68.0/v0.162.0 is now available. This release includes critical fixes for batch splitting that prevent data loss when individual items exceed size limits, performance improvements to metric recording that reduce complexity from O(n²) to O, and resolution of hash collisions in xhash. Users should review the breaking changes to generated processor lifecycle tests and configuration before upgrading.

Weekly digest: Fixed otlphttp status codes, added memorylimiter refused requests metric, renamed queuebatch processor, improved map hashing from O(n²) to linear, added exporter span attributes, and enhanced mdatagen tooling.

This week in opentelemetry-collector: HTTP error handling now returns correct status codes, observability improved with refused request metrics, processor naming standardized, hashing performance optimized from O(n²) to linear, exporter spans enriched with metadata, and configuration generation enhanced for private fields and context propagation testing.

V1.67.0/v0.161.0 released. Breaking changes: deprecated types removed from pprofile and scraperhelper/controller. Config/configgrpc migrated to schema-based generation. Performance optimized for profile merging. Deep-copy fix for bytes values.

Opentelemetry-collector v1.67.0/v0.161.0 is now available. This release includes breaking changes removing deprecated AggregationTemporality, Duration, and SetDuration from pprofile and scraperhelper/controller. Config/configgrpc migrated to schema-based configuration. Significant performance improvements to profile dictionary merging with indexed deduplication. Fixed deep-copy handling for bytes values that could cause data corruption. Enhanced configuration generation with mdatagen for better validation and omitempty tag handling.
