## Unreleased

## 0.27.0 - 2020-08-14
- deps: update protobuf (#2029)
- Update release versions for all readme and build files. (#2028)
- deps: update Guava to 29.0 (#2032)
- Add more InstanaExporterHandler tests (#2014)
- feat: Allow users to specify a metric display name prefix, separately from the metric name prefix (#2050)

## 0.26.0 - 2020-03-19
- feat: Allow users to register the same Meter multiple times without exception (#2017)
- update gRPC (#2024): Since gRPC v1.27.0, census dependency is removed from grpc-core. A grpc-census
artifact now exists to provide interceptor/stream tracer factory that applies census stats/tracing features.
For users not using gRPC’s integration of census, nothing should be affected. Users who want census integration
need to add grpc-census artifact to runtime classpath.
- deps: update GSON (#2025)
- deps: update auth libraries (#2023)
- update guava (#2018)

## 0.25.0 - 2020-02-12
- Add an experimental artifact `opencensus-contrib-observability-ready-util`, that allows users to
use OpenCensus easily.

## 0.24.0 - 2019-08-27
- Remove `CONTEXT_SPAN_KEY` and `TAG_CONTEXT_KEY` from API. This will be a breaking change to those who
depend on these two keys, but anyone except gRPC shouldn't use it directly anyway.

## 0.23.0 - 2019-06-12
- Make `StackdriverStatsExporter.unregister()` a public API.
- Add support spring plugin for http servlet and AsyncRestTemplate.

## 0.22.1 - 2019-05-21
- Increase the buffer size for the trace export batch to 2500 (previously it was 32).

## 0.22.0 - 2019-05-14
- Disable RunningSpanStore by default unless the z-pages contrib is linked and initialized. This may
break behaviors for applications that rely on this to be always enabled.
- Provide a `Deadline` option to Stackdriver Trace exporter. Default value is 10 seconds if it's not set.
- Provide a `Deadline` option to Stackdriver Stats exporter. Default value is 10 seconds.
Also provide a `MetricServiceStub` option so that advanced users can use a custom Stackdriver
Monitoring client to make RPCs.
- Use `Configuration` builder pattern for creating `JaegerTraceExporter`, `ZipkinTraceExporter` and
`InstanaTraceExporter`. Provide a `Deadline` option with default value 10 seconds.
- Provide a `Deadline` option to Datadog, Elasticsearch and OcAgent exporter. Default value is 10 seconds.
- Extract the common timeout logic of Trace exporters to `opencensus-exporter-trace-util`.

## 0.21.0 - 2019-04-30
- Add HTTP text format serializer to Tag propagation component.
- Support constant labels in Gauge APIs.
- Add an option to allow users to override the default "opencensus_task" metric label in Stackdriver Stats Exporter.
- Allow setting custom namespace in Prometheus exporter.
- Add Cumulative (`DoubleCumulative`, `LongCumulative`, `DerivedDoubleCumulative`, `DerivedLongCumulative`) APIs.
- Add convenience APIs `TagContextBuilder.putLocal()` that adds non-propagating tags,
and `TagContextBuilder.putPropagating()` that adds unlimited propagating tags.
- Deprecate context keys for tags and spans. Provide helper methods for interacting with context.

## 0.20.0 - 2019-03-28
- Add OpenCensus Java OC-Agent Trace Exporter.

- Add `metrics.data` package to hold common classes shared between stats and metrics.
- Refactor `Exemplar` and `AttachmentValue` to be under `metrics.data`. Note that this is a breaking change
if you're using the `Exemplar` classes or APIs in the previous releases.
- Add `TagMetadata` that defines the properties associated with a `Tag`.
- Add `QueueMetricProducer` that supports pushing and buffering `Metric`s.

## 0.19.0 - 2019-01-28
- Add an artifact `opencensus-contrib-http-jetty-client` for instrumenting jetty http client. Add extractor for Jetty Client.
- Add an artifact `opencensus-contrib-http-servlets` for instrumenting http servlets. Add extractor for Http Servlets.

- Add `createWithSender` to `JaegerTraceExporter` to allow use of `HttpSender`
  with extra configurations.
- Add an API `Functions.returnToString()`.
- Migrate to new Stackdriver Kubernetes monitored resource. This could be a breaking change
  if you are using `gke_container` resources. For more info,
  https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/kubernetes-engine/migration#incompatible
- Add an util artifact `opencensus-contrib-dropwizard` to translate Dropwizard metrics to
  OpenCensus.
- Add Gauges (`DoubleGauge`, `LongGauge`, `DerivedDoubleGauge`, `DerivedLongGauge`) APIs.
- Update `opencensus-contrib-log-correlation-log4j2` and
  `opencensus-contrib-log-correlation-stackdriver` to match the
  [OpenCensus log correlation spec](https://github.com/census-instrumentation/opencensus-specs/blob/master/trace/LogCorrelation.md)
  and remove all `ExperimentalApi` annotations.
- The histogram bucket boundaries (`BucketBoundaries`) and values (`Count` and `Sum`) are no longer
  supported for negative values. The Record API drops the negative `value` and logs the warning.
  This could be a breaking change if you are recording negative value for any `measure`.
- Remove support for min/max in the stats Distribution to make it compatible with Metrics.

- Fix ClassCastException in Log4j log correlation
  ([#1436](https://github.com/census-instrumentation/opencensus-java/issues/1436)).

  breaking change if you have custom prefix without (registered) domain.

  adding tracing data to Log4j 2 LogEvents.

  returning a zero `Duration` when the arguments are invalid.
- `Timestamp.create` now throws an `IllegalArgumentException` instead of
  returning a zero `Timestamp` when the arguments are invalid.
