# Modules
* New modules: `spring-cloud-sleuth-autoconfigure`, `spring-cloud-sleuth-api`, `spring-cloud-sleuth-instrumentation`
`spring-cloud-sleuth-core` removed and changed to `spring-cloud-sleuth-instrumentation` & `spring-cloud-sleuth-api`
* Removed `spring-cloud-starter-sleuth-otel`
To add OpenTelemetry support you need to add `spring-cloud-starter-sleuth` (adds Brave by default), exclude Brave and add `spring-cloud-sleuth-otel` dependency
* Except for the tests, `spring-cloud-sleuth-autoconfigure` is the only module that can have access to `@Configuration`, `@ConfigurationProperties` classes.
Tests have been added to ensure such separation.
## Package moving
* `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.api` -> `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth`
* `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.brave.autoconfig` -> `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.autoconfig.brave`
* `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.otel.autoconfig` -> `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.autoconfig.otel`
* `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth` -> `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth`
* Instrumentation: `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.annotation` -> `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.instrument.annotation`
* All the autoconfiguration classes were moved under `org.springframework.cloud/sleuth.autoconfig` package
## Global class modifications
* Any class registered as a bean is now public
## Classes
* `RateLimitingSampler` constructor changed
* Merged a lot of auto configuration classes into one (e.g. `BraveAutoConfiguration` now imports various other configurations)
* Renamed `TraceBraveAutoConfiguration` to `BraveAutoConfiguration`
* Renamed `TraceOtelAutoConfiguration` to `OtelAutoConfiguration`
* Removed all `NoOp` implementations of the API
`SpanHandler` is the base type for the now deprecated `FinishedSpanHandler`.
Notable, it can not just handle things at the end of a recording, but also the
beginning.
For example, this permits set-once baggage without the HTTP abstraction:
```java
static final BaggageField EPOCH_SECONDS = BaggageField.create("epoch_seconds");
static final class RootOnlyBaggage extends SpanHandler {
@Override
public boolean begin(TraceContext context, MutableSpan span, @Nullable TraceContext parent) {
if (EPOCH_SECONDS.getValue(context) == null) { // only set at the first span
long epochSeconds = System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000;
EPOCH_SECONDS.updateValue(context, String.valueOf(epochSeconds));
}
return true;
}
@Override public boolean end(TraceContext context, MutableSpan span, Cause cause) {
Tags.BAGGAGE_FIELD.tag(EPOCH_SECONDS, context, span);
return true;
}
}
```
As the parent is available, it can also facilitate advanced tasks like counting
children, or summarizing entire local roots.
