This release includes 2 very important breaking changes.

1. The otlpreceiver will now use localhost by default instead of 0.0.0.0. This may break the receiver in containerized environments like Kubernetes. If you depend on 0.0.0.0 disable the component.UseLocalHostAsDefaultHost feature gate or explicitly set the endpoint to 0.0.0.0.
2. Expansion of BASH-style environment variables, such as $FOO will no longer be supported by default. If you depend on this syntax, disable the confmap.unifyEnvVarExpansion feature gate, but know that the feature will be removed in the future in favor of ${env:FOO}.

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

• filter: Remove deprecated filter.CombinedFilter (#​10348)
• otelcol: By default, otelcol.NewCommand and otelcol.NewCommandMustSetProvider will set the DefaultScheme to env. (#​10435)
• expandconverter: By default expandconverter will now error if it is about to expand $FOO syntax. Update configuration to use ${env:FOO} instead or disable the confmap.unifyEnvVarExpansion feature gate. (#​10435)
• otlpreceiver: Switch to localhost as the default for all endpoints. (#​8510)
  Disable the component.UseLocalHostAsDefaultHost feature gate to temporarily get the previous default.

💡 Enhancements 💡

• confighttp: Add support for cookies in HTTP clients with cookies::enabled. (#​10175)
  The method confighttp.ToClient will return a client with a cookiejar.Jar which will reuse cookies from server responses in subsequent requests.
• exporter/debug: In normal verbosity, display one line of text for each telemetry record (log, data point, span) (#​7806)
• exporter/debug: Add option use_internal_logger (#​10226)
• configretry: Mark module as stable. (#​10279)

  • Disable expansion of BASH-style env vars ($FOO)
  • ${FOO} will be expanded as if it was `${env:FOO}
    See https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/blob/main/docs/rfcs/env-vars.md for more details.

• confighttp: Allow the compression list to be overridden (#​10295)
  Allows Collector administrators to control which compression algorithms to enable for HTTP-based receivers.
• configgrpc: Revert the zstd compression for gRPC to the third-party library we were using previously. (#​10394)
  We switched back to our compression logic for zstd when a CVE was found on the third-party library we were using. Now that the third-party library has been fixed, we can revert to that one. For end-users, this has no practical effect. The reproducers for the CVE were tested against this patch, confirming we are not reintroducing the bugs.
• confmap: Adds alpha confmap.strictlyTypedInput feature gate that enables strict type checks during configuration resolution (#​9532)
  When enabled, the configuration resolution system will:
  • Stop doing most kinds of implicit type casting when resolving configuration values
  • Use the original string representation of configuration values if the ${} syntax is used in inline position
• confighttp: Use confighttp.ServerConfig as part of zpagesextension. See server configuration options. (#​9368)

• envprovider: Restricts Environment Variable names. Environment variable names must now be ASCII only and start with a letter or an underscore, and can only contain underscores, letters, or numbers. (#​9531)
• confighttp: Apply MaxRequestBodySize to the result of a decompressed body. This addresses GHSA-c74f-6mfw-mm4v for confighttp (#​10289)
  When using compressed payloads, the Collector would verify only the size of the compressed payload.
  This change applies the same restriction to the decompressed content. As a security measure, a limit of 20 MiB was added, which makes this a breaking change.
  For most clients, this shouldn't be a problem, but if you often have payloads that decompress to more than 20 MiB, you might want to either configure your
  client to send smaller batches (recommended), or increase the limit using the MaxRequestBodySize option.
