# 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
This deprecates span transports in favor of `spring-cloud-sleuth-zipkin2`
which:
* Supports RabbitMQ and Kafka automatically when adding spring-rabbit or spring-kafka deps
* Supports any io.zipkin.reporter2:zipkin-reporter sender, including Amazon X-Ray
* Defaults to zipkin v2 format, but can be configured to use zipkin v1 format as needed
This lowers the amount of maintenance on the project, as discussed in various issues
See #727
See #711
without this change there is no support for context propagation
with this change whenever you pass the `baggage-...` for http or `baggage_` for messaging headers then such a value will be propagated through your system
