• Add missing Prometheus exporter documentation (#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).

• otlp-http-exporter: set default value for param timeout_sec in _export method (#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).

• Update OTLP proto to v1.7 #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).
• 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).
• Update ConsoleLogExporter.export to handle LogRecord's containing bytes type in the body (#4614).
• opentelemetry-sdk: Fix invalid type: ignore that causes mypy to ignore the whole file (#4618)
• Add span_exporter property back to BatchSpanProcessor class (#4621)
• Fix license field in pyproject.toml files (#4625)
• Update logger level to NOTSET in logs example (#4637)
• Logging API accepts optional context; deprecates trace_id, span_id, trace_flags. (#4597) and (#4668)
• sdk: use context instead of trace_id,span_id for initializing LogRecord (#4653)
• Rename LogRecordProcessor.emit to on_emit (#4648)
• Logging API hide std_to_otel function to convert python logging severity to otel severity (#4649)
• proto: relax protobuf version requirement to support v6 (#4620)
• Bump semantic-conventions to 1.36.0 (#4669)
• Set expected User-Agent in HTTP headers for grpc OTLP exporter (#4658)

Breaking Changes

We are working on stabilizing the Log signal that would require making deprecations and breaking changes. We will try to reduce the releases that may require an update to your code, especially for instrumentations or for sdk developers.

• Rename LogRecordProcessor.emit to on_emit (#4648)

This is a patch release on the previous 1.34.0/0.55b0 release, fixing the issue(s) below.

• Handle OTEL_PROPAGATORS contains None (#4553)
