Strengthening OpenTelemetry security while preserving API stability

OpenTelemetry has updated its client versioning policy to allow necessary security fixes to change behavior in minor or patch releases without requiring a major version upgrade. This policy ensures that critical mitigations, such as resource limits or credential protections, can be deployed quickly while maintaining public API stability. Users are advised to carefully review release notes and test updates in representative environments to account for any changes in telemetry behavior or configuration defaults.
