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

OTel Collector v0.153.0 is out now. Operators and integrators benefit from a coordinated component version bump and dependency refresh that keeps core and contrib components aligned.
Review the component-level changelogs for details: the contrib changelog is at opentelemetry-collector-contrib v0.153.0 and the core changelog is at opentelemetry-collector v0.153.0.
What’s in this release
- Repository and component version bumped to 0.153.0, aligning core and contrib components to the same baseline.
- Dependency maintenance and housekeeping: collector component references refreshed across the project.
- Release tooling updated: goreleaser pro moved to v2.16.0, which affects packaging and CI artifact generation rather than runtime behaviour.
Upgrade notes
- No breaking changes are called out in the supplied release notes; review the core and contrib v0.153.0 changelogs for receiver/exporter/processor migration notes and component-specific changes (contrib, core).
- Rebuild images and binaries to pick up the updated dependencies and component references; the goreleaser pro upgrade may change how artifacts are produced in CI.
