Version 1.45.1/0.66b1

This is a patch release on the previous 1.45.0/0.66b0 release, fixing the issue(s) below.

Fixed

• opentelemetry-api: make AnyValue and AttributeValue explicit type aliases (#5703)
• opentelemetry-sdk: fix thread leak bug in resource initialization logic for long running resource detectors (#5706)
• opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http: restore requests as the default HTTP transport so proxy environment variables such as HTTPS_PROXY are honored again (#5714)
• opentelemetry-api: fix quadratic time parsing of the tracestate header and discard tracestate headers longer than 8192 characters (#5746)

Version 1.45.0/0.66b0

Added

• opentelemetry-exporter-prometheus: add support to configure Resource attributes as metric labels (#5122)
• infra: add renovate (#5202)
• opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-sdk: add support for extended attribute values everywhere. (#5266)
• opentelemetry-sdk: wire the top-level log_level field in declarative configuration — when set, maps the OTel SeverityNumber value to a Python logging level and applies it to the opentelemetry logger so SDK internal diagnostics respect the configured severity. (#5351)
• opentelemetry-sdk: add the new stable AlwaysRecordSampler (#5354)
• opentelemetry-configuration, opentelemetry-sdk: wire top-level attribute_limits into per-signal providers via declarative config; add log_record_limits support to LoggerProvider (#5365)
• opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-json-http: add OTLP JSON HTTP exporter package (#5374)
• opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-sdk: add enabled() support to the Logger API, SDK, and LogRecordProcessor to let instrumentation skip expensive work when logging is disabled (#5380)
• opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-json-file: add OTLP JSON file Docker tests (#5412)
• opentelemetry-configuration: wire the experimental tracer_configurator/development, meter_configurator/development and logger_configurator/development fields into create_tracer_provider, create_meter_provider and create_logger_provider, so per-instrumentation-scope enabled overrides declared in the config file are applied to the provider (previously these fields were parsed but silently discarded). The logger minimum_severity/trace_based fields are not supported by the Python SDK and are ignored with a warning. (#5418)
• docs/examples: add example on how to manually setup the SDK to get SDK metrics (#5449)
• opentelemetry-docker-tests: add Prometheus exporter docker tests (#5457)
• opentelemetry-sdk: count records dropped after shutdown on otel.sdk.processor.{span,log}.processed with error.type=already_shutdown (batch span/log and simple log processors), which the semantic conventions define as a valid value for this metric. (#5509)
• opentelemetry-semantic-conventions: update semantic conventions to v1.44.0 (#5511)
• opentelemetry-sdk: add host.id to the host resource detector (#5653)
• opentelemetry-test-utils: add CapturingSampler to record what samplers receive in instrumentation tests (#5681)

Changed

• Enable PIE (flake8-pie) ruff rule and fix all violations (#5150)
• The public opentelemetry.util.types.AttributeValue type in package opentelemetry-api is being expanded to include None, heterogeneous sequences of primitive types (and nested sequences) as opposed to only homogeneous primitive sequences, and Mappings of strings to any primitive types or sequences/mappings (which themselves must only contain primitive types or sequences/mappings validated the same way). If a bytes type is set as an attribute value in the SDK, it will no longer be utf-8 decoded to a string, instead it will be passed along as is in accordance with the OTEL spec, since bytes is a valid type in the OTLP proto. (#5266)
• opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http: add a max_request_size argument to the OTLP HTTP exporters (traces, logs, metrics); serialized requests larger than the limit are dropped before sending, measured before compression. Defaults to 64 MiB (enabled); set to 0 to disable. Mirrors opentelemetry-go#8157. (#5369)
• [BREAKING] opentelemetry-api: subclasses of Logger need to implement the enabled method (#5380)
• opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http: refactor to use shared opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-common and opentelemetry-exporter-http-transport packages and switch default HTTP backend to urllib3 (#5389)
• opentelemetry-sdk: unify logging force_flush timeout defaults to 30000ms (#5438)
• opentelemetry-python: enable Ruff default ruleset and fix auto-fixable lint issues (#5491)
• opentelemetry-sdk: SimpleSpanProcessor now drops spans ended after shutdown() instead of passing them to the exporter, and counts them on otel.sdk.processor.span.processed with error.type=already_shutdown. (#5512)
• Bump pytest to 9.0.3 (#5518)
• opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http: clarify that the endpoint= kwarg requires the full signal path (#5633)
• opentelemetry-sdk: fix typos in SpanLimits docstring (#5658)

Fixed

• opentelemetry-configuration: perform environment variable substitution on scalar values after parsing the configuration file, so ${VAR} references inside comments and mapping keys are no longer substituted and undefined references in comments no longer abort loading (#5407)
• opentelemetry-configuration: declarative config environment variable substitution now replaces an unset variable that has no default with an empty value instead of raising an error, per the configuration spec. Resource attributes whose value resolves to null (an unset ${VAR} with no default) are skipped with a warning instead of being inserted as a null value. (#5408)
• 'scripts/build.sh: add opentelemetry-configurationandopentelemetry-proto-json` to the package to release (#5425)
• opentelemetry-sdk: fix View instrument-name matching so a view configured with an instrument's real (mixed-case) name is applied; matching is now case-insensitive and platform-independent instead of relying on fnmatch's OS-dependent case handling (#5430)
