1.0.0-rc9.6

OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore

• Removed netstandard2.0 and netstandard2.1 targets. .NET 5 reached EOL
  in May 2022 and .NET Core 3.1 reaches EOL in December 2022. The
  instrumentation for ASP.NET Core now requires .NET 6 or later.
  (#3567)

• Fixed an issue where activity started within middleware was modified by
  instrumentation library.
  (#3498)

• Updated to use Activity native support from
  System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource to set activity status.
  (#3118)
  (#3555)

OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.GrpcNetClient

• Updated to use Activity native support from System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource
  to set activity status.
  (#3118)
  (#3569)

OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http

• Updated to use Activity native support from System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource
  to set activity status.
  (#3118)
  (#3555)

• Changed activity source name from OpenTelemetry.HttpWebRequest
  to OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http.HttpWebRequest for HttpWebRequests
  and from OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http
  to OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http.HttpClient for HttpClient.
  (#3515)

core-1.4.0-alpha.2

OpenTelemetry

• Added Sdk.CreateLoggerProviderBuilder method and support for dependency
  injection scenarios when configuring OpenTelemetryLoggerProvider
  (#3504)

OpenTelemetry.Api

• Updated to System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource preview version 7.0.0.

  With this update, applications targeting .NET 5 and lower will receive a
  warning at build time as described here
  (note: building using older versions of the .NET SDK produces an error at
  build time). This is because .NET 5 reached EOL in May 2022 and .NET
  Core 3.1 reaches EOL in December 2022.

  There is no guarantee that System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource will continue
  to work on older versions of .NET. However, the build warning can be
  suppressed by setting the SuppressTfmSupportBuildWarnings MSBuild property.

  This does not affect applications targeting .NET Framework.
  #3539

OpenTelemetry.Exporter.OpenTelemetryProtocol

• When using Attribute
  Limits
  the OTLP exporter will now send "dropped" counts where applicable (ex:
  dropped_attributes_count).

• Split up Prometheus projects based on its hosting mechanism,
  HttpListener and AspNetCore, into their own projects
  and assemblies.
  (#3430

  middleware configuration on ASP.NET Core
  (#3295)

OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Prometheus.HttpListener

• Split up Prometheus projects based on its hosting mechanism,

  #2840 by
  allowing + and * to be used in the URI prefixes (e.g. "http://*:9184").

  (#3380)

• Fix Enrich not getting invoked when SocketException due to HostNotFound
  occurs.
  (#3407)

OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Console

• Improve the conversion and formatting of attribute values.
  The list of data types that must be supported per the
  OpenTelemetry specification
  is more narrow than what the .NET OpenTelemetry SDK supports. Numeric
  built-in value types
  are supported by converting to a long or double as appropriate except for
  numeric types that could cause overflow (ulong) or rounding (decimal)
  which are converted to strings. Non-numeric built-in types - string,
  char, bool are supported. All other types are converted to a string.
  Array values are also supported.
  (#3311)

  converted to a string like "System.String[]".
