core-1.8.1

OpenTelemetry

• Fixed an issue in Logging where unwanted objects (processors, exporters, etc.)
  could be created inside delegates automatically executed by the Options API
  during configuration reload.
  (#5514)

OpenTelemetry.Exporter.OpenTelemetryProtocol

• Fix native AoT warnings in OpenTelemetry.Exporter.OpenTelemetryProtocol.
  (#5520)

Instrumentation.Http-1.8.1

OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http

• Breaking Change: Fixed tracing instrumentation so that by default any
  values detected in the query string component of requests are replaced with
  the text Redacted when building the url.full tag. For example,
  ?key1=value1&key2=value2 becomes ?key1=Redacted&key2=Redacted. You can
  disable this redaction by setting the environment variable
  OTEL_DOTNET_EXPERIMENTAL_HTTPCLIENT_DISABLE_URL_QUERY_REDACTION to true.
  (#5532)

Instrumentation.AspNetCore-1.8.1

OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore

• Breaking Change: Fixed tracing instrumentation so that by default any
  values detected in the query string component of requests are replaced with
  the text Redacted when building the url.query tag. For example,
  ?key1=value1&key2=value2 becomes ?key1=Redacted&key2=Redacted. You can
  disable this redaction by setting the environment variable
  OTEL_DOTNET_EXPERIMENTAL_ASPNETCORE_DISABLE_URL_QUERY_REDACTION to true.
  (#5532)

Instrumentation.Http-1.8.0

OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http

• Fixed an issue for spans when server.port attribute was not set with
  server.address when it has default values (80 for HTTP and
  443 for HTTPS protocol).
  (#5419)

• Fixed an issue where the http.request.method_original attribute was not set
  on activity. Now, when http.request.method is set and the original method
  is converted to its canonical form (e.g., Get is converted to GET),
  the original value Get will be stored in http.request.method_original.
  The attribute is not set on .NET Framework for non canonical form of CONNECT,
  GET, HEAD, PUT, and POST. HTTP Client is converting these values
  to canonical form.
  (#5471)

Instrumentation.AspNetCore-1.8.0

OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore

• Fixed an issue for spans when server.port attribute was not set with
  server.address when it has default values (80 for HTTP and
  443 for HTTPS protocol).
  (#5419)

• Fixed an issue where the http.request.method_original attribute was not set
  on activity. Now, when http.request.method is set and the original method
  is converted to its canonical form (e.g., Get is converted to GET),
  the original value Get will be stored in http.request.method_original.
  (#5471)

• Fixed the name of spans that have http.request.method attribute set to _OTHER.
  The span name will be set as HTTP {http.route} as per the specification.
  (#5484)
