Breaking changes:

* [SECURITY] Remove OTLP HTTP support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1,
  require TLS 1.2 or better
  [#2722](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2722)
  * The OTLP HTTP exporter no longer accept options like:
    * min_TLS = 1.0
    * min_TLS = 1.1

  * When connecting to an OTLP HTTP endpoint, using `https`,
    the connection will require TLS 1.2 by default,
    unless min_TLS is set to 1.3
  * Plain `http` connections (insecure) are not affected.

  [#2712](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2712)

Important changes:

* [API/SDK] Provider cleanup
  [#2664](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2664)
  * Before this fix:
    * The API class `opentelemetry::trace::Tracer` exposed methods such
      as `ForceFlush()`, `ForceFlushWithMicroseconds()`, `Close()`
      and `CloseWithMicroseconds()`.
    * These methods are meant to be used when configuring the SDK,
      and should not be part of the API. Exposing them was an oversight.
    * Two of these methods are virtual, and therefore part of the ABI.
  * After this fix:
    * In `OPENTELEMETRY_ABI_VERSION_NO 1`, nothing is changed,
      because removing this code would break the ABI.
    * In `OPENTELEMETRY_ABI_VERSION_NO 2`, these methods are moved
      from the API to the SDK. This is a breaking change for ABI version 2,
      which is still experimental.
  * In all cases, instrumenting an application should not
    invoke flush or close on a tracer, do not use these methods.

Breaking changes:

* [API/SDK] Provider cleanup
  [#2664](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2664)
  * Before this fix:
    * SDK factory methods such as:
      * opentelemetry::sdk::trace::TracerProviderFactory::Create()
      * opentelemetry::sdk::metrics::MeterProviderFactory::Create()
      * opentelemetry::sdk::logs::LoggerProviderFactory::Create()
      * opentelemetry::sdk::logs::EventLoggerProviderFactory::Create()
      returned an API object (opentelemetry::trace::TracerProvider)
      to the caller.
  * After this fix, these methods return an SDK level object
    (opentelemetry::sdk::trace::TracerProvider) to the caller.
  * Returning an SDK object is necessary for the application to
    cleanup and invoke SDK level methods, such as ForceFlush(),
    on a provider.
  * The application code that configures the SDK, by calling
    the various provider factories, may need adjustment.
  * All the examples have been updated, and in particular no
    longer perform static_cast do convert an API object to an SDK object.
    Please refer to examples for guidance on how to adjust.
  * If adjusting application code is impractical,
    an alternate and temporary solution is to build with option
    WITH_DEPRECATED_SDK_FACTORY=ON in CMake.
  * Option WITH_DEPRECATED_SDK_FACTORY=ON will allow to build code
    without application changes, posponing changes for later.
  * WITH_DEPRECATED_SDK_FACTORY=ON is temporary, only to provide
    an easier migration path. Expect this flag to be removed,
    as early as by the next release.

Notes on experimental features:

* [#2372](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/issues/2372)
  introduced `MeterProvider::SetExemplar()` which accepts en
  `ExemplarFilterType` enumeration with `kAlwaysOff`, `kAlwaysOn` and
  `kTraceBased`.

* [DOC] Update INSTALL.md
  [#2592](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2592)

Important changes:

* [EXPORTER] Gzip compression support for OTLP/HTTP and OTLP/gRPC exporter
  [#2530](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2530)
  * In the `OtlpHttpExporterOptions` and `OtlpGrpcExporterOptions`, a new
    field called compression has been introduced. This field can be set
    to "gzip” to enable gzip compression.
  * The CMake option `WITH_OTLP_HTTP_COMPRESSION` is introduced to enable
    gzip compression support for the OTLP HTTP Exporter and includes a
    dependency on zlib.
* [SDK] Change OTLP HTTP content_type default to binary
  [#2558](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2558)
* [CI] Use platform CMake
  [#2627](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2627)
  * The `CI` in github no longer install a different version of `cmake`.
  * It now always use the `cmake` provided by the platform.
  * As part of this change, the script `ci/setup_cmake.sh` was renamed
    to `ci/setup_googletest.sh`, for clarity, now that this script
    only installs googletest.
* [SDK] DefaultLogHandler to print to std::cerr, add LogLevel::None
  [#2622](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2622)
  * Change DefaultLogHandler output
    * Before, the default internal logger, DefaultLogHandler,
      used to print to std::cout.
    * Now, DefaultLogHandler prints errors and warnings to std::cerr,
      as expected, while printing info and debug messages to std::cout.
    * Applications that expected to find the opentelemetry-cpp internal
      error log in std::cout may need adjustments, either by looking
      at std::cerr instead, or by using a custom log handler.
  * Additional LogLevel::None
    * LogLevel::None is a new supported log level, which does not print
      any message.
    * Custom log handlers may need to implement a new case, to avoid
      compiler warnings.
    * Numbering of log levels like OTEL_INTERNAL_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR
      has changed, which requires to rebuild, as the SDK ABI differs.

  [#2542](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2542)

Important changes:

* [SDK] Restore Recordable API compatibility with versions < 1.14.0
  [#2547](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2547)
  * For third party _extending_ the SDK, release 1.14.0 introduced
    an API breaking change compared to 1.13.0
  * This fix restores API (but not ABI) compatibility of
    release 1.14.1 with release 1.13.0.
  * This allows to build a third party exporter with no source code changes,
    for both releases 1.14.1 and 1.13.0.

  [#2435](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2435)

Important changes:

Breaking changes:

* [REMOVAL] Remove option WITH_OTLP_HTTP_SSL_PREVIEW
  [#2435](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2435)
  * CMake options `WITH_OTLP_HTTP_SSL_PREVIEW` and
    `WITH_OTLP_HTTP_SSL_TLS_PREVIEW` are removed. Building opentelemetry-cpp
    without SSL support is no longer possible.

* [PROTO] Upgrade to opentelemetry-proto v1.1.0
  [#2488](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2488)
  * Class `opentelemetry::sdk::trace::Recordable` has a new virtual method,
    `SetTraceFlags()`.
  * This is an incompatible change for the SDK Recordable API and ABI.
  * Applications _configuring_ the SDK are not affected.
  * Third parties providing SDK _extensions_ are affected,
    and must provide a `SetTraceFlags()` implementation,
    starting with opentelemetry-cpp 1.14.0.

Important changes:

* [API] Add InstrumentationScope attributes in TracerProvider::GetTracer()
  [#2371](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2371)
  * TracerProvider::GetTracer() now accepts InstrumentationScope attributes.
  * Because this is an `ABI` breaking change, the fix is only available
    with the `CMake` option `WITH_ABI_VERSION_2=ON`.
  * When building with `CMake` option `WITH_ABI_VERSION_1=ON` (by default)
    the `ABI` is unchanged, and the fix is not available.

* [API] Add a new AddLink() operation to Span
  [#2380](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2380)
  * New `API` Span::AddLink() adds a single link to a span.
  * New `API` Span::AddLinks() adds multiple links to a span.
  * Because this is an `ABI` breaking change, the fix is only available
    with the `CMake` option `WITH_ABI_VERSION_2=ON`.
  * When building with `CMake` option `WITH_ABI_VERSION_1=ON` (by default)
    the `ABI` is unchanged, and the fix is not available.

* [BUILD] Make WITH_OTLP_HTTP_SSL_PREVIEW mainstream
  [#2378](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2378)
  * The experimental `CMake` option `WITH_OTLP_HTTP_SSL_PREVIEW`
    is now promoted to stable. The default is changed to `ON`.
  * The experimental `CMake` option `WITH_OTLP_HTTP_SSL_TLS_PREVIEW`
    is now promoted to stable. The default is changed to `ON`.
  * These build options are scheduled to be removed by the next release,
    building without SSL/TLS will no longer be possible.

* [EXPORTER] Rework OTLP/HTTP and OTLP/GRPC exporter options
  [#2388](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2388)
  * `OtlpGrpcMetricExporterOptions` used to honor `_TRACES_`
    environment variables, instead of `_METRICS_` environment variables.
  * The implementation of `OtlpGrpcMetricExporterOptions` is now fixed.
  * Please check configuration variables,
    to make sure `_METRICS_` variables are set as expected.

Breaking changes:

* [BUILD] Remove WITH_REMOVE_METER_PREVIEW, use WITH_ABI_VERSION_2 instead
  [#2370](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2370)
  * The experimental `CMake` option `WITH_REMOVE_METER_PREVIEW` is removed,
    use option `WITH_ABI_VERSION_2` instead.

* [BUILD] enum CanonicalCode names too generic... conflict with old C defines
  [#2385](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2385)
  * Header file `opentelemetry/trace/canonical_code.h` is unused,
    and is now removed.
  * This header should not be included directly in an application.
    If this is the case, please remove any remaining include directives.

* [BUILD] Fix exported definitions when building DLL with STL
  [#2387](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2387)
  * The MeterSelector, MeterSelectorFactory, InstrumentSelector,
    and InstrumentSelectorFactory APIs now use const std::string&
    instead of nostd::string_view for name, version and schema to
    maintain a single export definition for DLL.

* [EXPORTER] Rework OTLP/HTTP and OTLP/GRPC exporter options
  [#2388](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2388)
  * `OtlpGrpcLogRecordExporter` incorrectly used `OtlpGrpcExporterOptions`,
    which are options for traces and not logs.
  * This created a bug: the `OtlpGrpcLogRecordExporter` honors `_TRACES_`
    environment variables, instead of `_LOGS_` environment variables.
  * `OtlpGrpcLogRecordExporter` is changed to use
    `OtlpGrpcLogRecordExporterOptions` instead, fixing the bug.
  * User code that initializes the SDK with a GRPC Log exporter,
    and uses exporter options, should adjust to replace
    `OtlpGrpcExporterOptions` with `OtlpGrpcLogRecordExporterOptions`.
  * Please check configuration variables,
    to make sure `_LOGS_` variables are set as expected.

* [REMOVAL] Remove ZPAGES
  [#2433](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2433)
  * As announced in release 1.12.0,
    the deprecated ZPAGES exporter is now removed.

Important changes:

* [API] Add InstrumentationScope attributes in MeterProvider::GetMeter()
  [#2224](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2224)
  * MeterProvider::GetMeter() now accepts InstrumentationScope attributes.
  * Because this is an `ABI` breaking change, the fix is only available
    with the `CMake` option `WITH_ABI_VERSION_2=ON`.
  * When building with `CMake` option `WITH_ABI_VERSION_1=ON` (by default)
    the `ABI` is unchanged, and the fix is not available.

Breaking changes:

* [BUILD] Need fine-grained HAVE_CPP_STDLIB
  [#2304](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2304)
  * In `CMAKE`, the boolean option `WITH_STL` as changed to an option
    that accepts the values `OFF`, `ON`, `CXX11`, `CXX14`, `CXX17`,
    `CXX20` and `CXX23`.
  * Applications makefiles that did not set WITH_STL need to use
    `WITH_STL=OFF` instead (this is the default).
  * Applications makefiles that did set WITH_STL need to use
    `WITH_STL=ON` instead, or may choose to pick a specific value.
  * In the `API` header files, the preprocessor symbol `HAVE_CPP_STDLIB`
    is no longer used.
  * Applications that did set `HAVE_CPP_STDLIB` before, need to set
    `OPENTELEMETRY_STL_VERSION=<version>` instead, to build with a
    specific STL version (2011, 2014, 2017, 2020, 2023).
  * The opentelemetry-cpp makefile no longer sets
    CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD by itself.
    Instead, the CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD and/or compiler options -stdc++ used
    by the caller are honored.
  * Applications that set neither CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD nor -stdc++
    options may need to provide a C++ standard in their makefiles.

* [REMOVAL] Drop C++11 support
  [#2342](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2342)
  * Building with C++11 is no longer supported.

  * There will be no breaking changes for users who only use OTLP exporters and
    do not directly use opentelemetry-cpp::proto. However, it is important to
    note that `opentelemetry-cpp::proto` no longer contains generated gRPC codes
    , and all components that depend on these gRPC codes should also link to
    `opentelemetry-cpp::proto_grpc`.

* [DOC] INSTALL doc clarifications
  [#2078](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2078)

Important changes:

* [EXPORTER] GRPC endpoint scheme should take precedence over OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_INSECURE
  [#2060](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2060)
  * The logic to decide whether or not an OTLP GRPC exporter uses SSL has
    changed to comply with the specification:
    * Before this change, the following settings were evaluated, in order:
      * OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_INSECURE (starting with 1.8.3)
      * OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_INSECURE (starting with 1.8.3)
      * OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_SSL_ENABLE
      * OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_SSL_ENABLE
    * With this change, the following settings are evaluated, in order:
      * The GRPC endpoint scheme, if provided:
        * "https" imply with SSL,
        * "http" imply without ssl.
      * OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_INSECURE
      * OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_INSECURE
      * OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_SSL_ENABLE
      * OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_SSL_ENABLE
    * As a result, a behavior change for GRPC SSL is possible,
      because the endpoint scheme now takes precedence.
      Please verify configuration settings for the GRPC endpoint.
* [SDK] Add `ForceFlush` for all `LogRecordExporter` and `SpanExporter`
  [#2000](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2000)
  * `LogRecordExporter` and `SpanExporter` add a new virtual function
    `ForceFlush`, and if users implement any customized `LogRecordExporter` and
    `SpanExporter`, they should also implement this function.
    There should be no impact if users only use factory to create exporters.

Deprecations:

* The Jaeger Exporter is deprecated, see [DEPRECATED](./DEPRECATED.md) for details.

* [BUILD] OTLP HTTP Exporter has build warnings in maintainer mode
  [#1943](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/1943)

Deprecations:

* [MAINTAINER DOC] Define and document a deprecation process,
  [#1923](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/1923)
  * A new file, [DEPRECATED](./DEPRECATED.md) list all the code currently
    deprecated.
  * A new [deprecation process](./docs/deprecation-process.md) details the plan to
    deprecate and later remove code.
* [DEPRECATION] Deprecate the Jaeger exporter
  [#1923](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/1923)
  * The Jaeger Exporter is deprecated, see [DEPRECATED](./DEPRECATED.md) for details.

Important changes:

* [BUILD] Cleanup CMake makefiles for CURL usage
  [#1916](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/1916)
  * CMake option `WITH_OTLP_HTTP`
    * Before this change, the CMake option `WITH_OTLP_HTTP` was unpredictable,
      sometime set to ON and sometime set to OFF by default,
      depending on whether a CURL package was found or not.
      The option `WITH_OTLP_HTTP` was sometime not displayed in the ccmake
      UI, making it impossible to even discover there is an option of that name.
    * With this change, CMake option `WITH_OTLP_HTTP` is always OFF by
      default. WITH_OTLP_HTTP MUST be set to ON explicitly to build the
      OTLP HTTP exporter. The option is always visible in the ccmake UI.
  * CMake option `BUILD_W3CTRACECONTEXT_TEST`
    * Before this change, the W3C trace context tests were built, or
      not, in an unpredictable way, depending on the presence, or not, of a
      CURL package. In particular, the build could ignore the W3C trace
      context tests even when BUILD_W3CTRACECONTEXT_TEST=ON.
    * With this change, option BUILD_W3CTRACECONTEXT_TEST is honored.
  * HTTP client/server examples
    * Before this change, the HTTP client/server examples were built, or
      not, in an unpredictable way, depending on the presence, or not, of a
      CURL package.
    * With this change, a new option `WITH_EXAMPLES_HTTP` is used to
      build the HTTP client/server examples.

Deprecation notes:

* [Deprecation] Deprecate experimental semantic conventions
  [#1744](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/1744)
  * The file
    `api/include/opentelemetry/trace/experimental_semantic_conventions.h`
    is deprecated, and will be removed in a future release.
    Use file
    `api/include/opentelemetry/trace/semantic_conventions.h`
    instead.

  * The file
    `sdk/include/opentelemetry/sdk/resource/experimental_semantic_conventions.h`
    is deprecated, and will be removed in a future release.
    Use file
    `sdk/include/opentelemetry/sdk/resource/semantic_conventions.h`
    instead.

  * The function, declared in the global namespace
    `uint32_t hashCode(const char *str, uint32_t h = 0)`
    is deprecated, and will be removed in a future release.
    No replacement will be provided.
    Note that function `opentelemetry::utils::hashCode`,
    declared in the ETW exporter, is not affected by this deprecation.

Breaking changes:

* [SEMANTIC CONVENTIONS] Upgrade to version 1.15.0
  [#1761](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/1761)
  * Naming of semantic conventions has changed from uppercase constants,
    like `SemanticConventions::SERVICE_NAME`,
    to camel case, like `SemanticConventions::kServiceName`.
    This is necessary to avoid collisions with macros in general,
    which breaks the build on some platforms.
  * Semantic conventions are flagged as experimental,
    which is why this change is done in this release.

Notes:

While opentelemetry-cpp Logs are still in experimental stage,
[#1383](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/1383) updated
opentelemetry-proto to 0.17.0, which includes some breaking change in the
protocol, like
[this](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-proto/pull/373). This
makes `name` parameter for our log API unnecessary. However, this parameter is
marked deprecated instead of being removed in this release, and it will be
removed in future release.
