- Add an artifact `opencensus-contrib-exemplar-util` that has helper utilities 
  on recording exemplars.
- Reduce the default limit on `Link`s per `Span` to 32 (was 128 before).
- Add Spring support for `@Traced` annotation and java.sql.PreparedStatements 
  tracing.

  adding tracing data to Log4j 2 LogEvents.

## 0.15.1 - 2018-08-28
- Improve propagation performance by avoiding doing string formatting when calling checkArgument.

## 0.15.0 - 2018-06-20

  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.

  a breaking change if you have Prometheus metrics from OpenCensus Prometheus exporter
  of previous versions, please point to the new metrics with no namespace instead.
- Add an util artifact `opencensus-contrib-appengine-standard-util` to interact with the AppEngine
  CloudTraceContext.
