- Breaking changes include Go 1.23 support, raising the minimum Go version to 1.22, removal of the deprecated ConfmapProvider and StatusWatcher interfaces, and refactoring of component status APIs.
- New features add OTLP exporter batching, telemetry level configuration, a Reporter interface for component status, module‑info for extensions, and a flag to skip creating a Go module in the output directory.
- Bug fixes address memory leaks, a panic when an unset env var is used with non‑string fields, telemetry unit updates, and deprecations that move various Builders into internal service packages.
