<!-- next version -->

## v1.37.0/v0.131.0

### 🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

- `configgrpc`: Update optional fields to use `configoptional.Optional` field for optional values. (#13252, #13364)
  Specifically, the following fields have been updated to `configoptional`:
  - `KeepaliveServerConfig.ServerParameters` (`KeepaliveServerParameters` type)
  - `KeepaliveServerConfig.EnforcementPolicy` (`KeepaliveEnforcementPolicy` type)
  
- `xexporterhelper`: Remove deprecated NewProfilesExporter function from xexporterhelper package (#13391)

### 💡 Enhancements 💡

- `consumererror`: Add new "Downstream" error marker (#13234)
  This new error wrapper type indicates that the error returned by a component's
  `Consume` method is not an internal failure of the component, but instead
  was passed through from another component further downstream.
  This is used internally by the new pipeline instrumentation feature to
  determine the `outcome` of a component call. This wrapper is not intended to
  be used by components directly.
  
- `pdata/pprofile`: Introduce `Equal` method on the `Function` type (#13222)
- `pdata/pprofile`: Introduce `Equal` method on the `Link` type (#13223)
- `pdata/pprofile`: Add new helper method `SetFunction` to set a new function on a line. (#13222)
- `pdata/pprofile`: Add new helper method `SetLink` to set a new link on a sample. (#13223)
- `pdata/pprofile`: Add new helper method `SetString` to set or retrieve the index of a value in the StringTable. (#13225)

### 🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

- `exporterhelper`: Use configoptional for sending_queue::batch field (#13345)

  Components using `configgrpc` package may need to update config values.
- `confighttp`: Use configoptional.Optional in confighttp (#9478)

  This type can contain information about errors that allow components (e.g. exporters)
  to communicate error information back up the pipeline.

- `exporterhelper`: QueueBatchEncoding interface is changed to support marshaling and unmarshaling of request context. (#13188)

### 💡 Enhancements 💡

- `pdata/pprofile`: Introduce `Equal` method on the `Mapping` type (#13197)

### 🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

- `exporterhelper`: Remove deprecated NewProfilesRequestExporter function from xexporterhelper package (#13157)
- `confighttp`: Remove pointer to field `cookies` in confighttp.ClientConfig (#13116)

### 🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

- `confmap`: Correctly distinguish between `nil` and empty map values on the `ToStringMap` method (#13161)
  This means that `ToStringMap()` method can now return a nil map if the original value was `nil`.
  If you were not doing so already, make sure to check for `nil` before writing to the map to avoid panics.
  
- `confighttp`: Make the `NewDefaultServerConfig` function return a nil TLS config by default. (#13129)
  - The previous default was a TLS config with no certificates, which would fail at runtime.

- `configtls`: Deprecate `ClientConfig.LoadTLSConfig` and `ServerConfig.LoadTLSConfig`, use `ClientConfig.LoadTLSConfigContext` and `ServerConfig.LoadTLSConfigContext` instead. (#9811)

### 💡 Enhancements 💡

- Introduce new module for generating pdata: pdata/testdata (#9886)
- `exporterhelper`: Make the `WithBatcher` option available for regular exporter helpers based on OTLP data type. (#8122)
  Now, `WithBatcher` can be used with both regular exporter helper (e.g. NewTracesExporter) and the request-based exporter 
  helper (e.g. NewTracesRequestExporter). The request-based exporter helpers require `WithRequestBatchFuncs` option 
  providing batching functions. 
  
- `confmap`: Creates a logger in the confmap.ProviderSettings and uses it to log when there is a missing or blank environment variable referenced in config. For now the noop logger is used everywhere except tests. (#5615)

### 🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

- `bug_fix`: Implement `encoding.BinaryMarshaler` interface to prevent `configopaque` -> `[]byte` -> `string` conversions from leaking the value (#9279)
- `configopaque`: configopaque.String implements `fmt.Stringer` and `fmt.GoStringer`, outputting [REDACTED] when formatted with the %s, %q or %#v verbs` (#9213)
  This may break applications that rely on the previous behavior of opaque strings with `fmt.Sprintf` to e.g. build URLs or headers.
  Explicitly cast the opaque string to a string before using it in `fmt.Sprintf` to restore the previous behavior.
