- Breaking: removed Resize(), ballast allocation flag, IntHistogram, and renamed DoubleDataPoint to NumberDataPoint; deprecated IntGauge/IntSum/IntDataPoint APIs.
- Feature: upgraded to OTLP 0.8.0 with full Int* → Number metric conversions; added Equal() for map attributes, slice sorting, ballast extension validation, and ComponentID usage.
- Bugfix: fixed endpoint scheme handling, improved error handling on collector reload, corrected bool attribute equality, and added WAL stub for Prometheus remote write exporter.
