- Improved validation: resource attribute 'enabled' now required in metadata files and changelog component fields are checked against a valid list.
- Breaking change: all experimental symbols were removed from exporterhelper and relocated to xexporterhelper.
- Deprecations and stabilizations: service/telemetry.TracesConfig deprecated, and several feature gates/modules (pdata.useCustomProtoEncoding, configoptional, configauth) marked stable or 1.0.
