OTel Collector v0.153.0 released on 26-05-2026

OTel Collector v0.153.0 is out now. It updates core and contrib components to 0.153.0 and aligns internal dependencies, so maintainers should check component changelogs for any API, configuration or behavioural changes that might affect pipelines.
See the v0.153.0 contrib changelog and the v0.153.0 core changelog on GitHub for full, component-level details; the release also upgrades goreleaser pro to v2.16.0, which affects packaging and CI/release automation rather than runtime behaviour.
What’s in this release
- Collector version bumped to 0.153.0 with aggregated component-level changes.
- Dependency updates: core and contrib components refreshed to v0.153.0, aligning internal dependencies across the project.
- Build and packaging change: goreleaser pro upgraded to v2.16.0 (impacts packaging and CI/release automation, not runtime behaviour).
Upgrade notes
- Review the per-component changelogs (contrib and core) for any API, configuration or behavioural changes that could affect existing pipelines.
- Validate CI and release automation after the goreleaser pro v2.16.0 upgrade; if you encounter problems, pin or revert to the previous release tag until they are resolved.
Share comments on your experience with the upgrade on the project’s GitHub release pages or the linked component changelogs.
