v0.2.0

Cursed tag, didn't release. Please proceed to v0.2.1.

v0.1.0

This is the first public release of otel4s, an OpenTelemetry implementation for Cats Effect. Rather than another ad hoc metrics or tracing abstraction, we are leaning fully into the OpenTelemetry specification. By embracing this ecosystem:

• We can provide a high-fidelity implementation.
• The core vocabulary is shared across the multiple languages in your distributed system.
• Your telemetry can be exported to the growing network of vendors who support the protocol.

Meanwhile, the API is purely functional, built on core Cats Effect abstractions, making it a natural fit into the Typelevel Scala ecosystem.

The API is highly experimental, but already capable of exporting traces and metrics. We welcome all library and application developers who want to try it on for size, but discourage making it a dependency of a binary-stable library at this point in time. We welcome your feedback in the form of issues, discussions, and pull requests.
