v1.4
Breaking change: Some debug metrics for otelcol components have changed

You may need to change your dashboard and alert settings to reference the new metrics.
Refer to each component’s documentation page for more information.
Breaking change: The convert_sum_to_gauge and convert_gauge_to_sum functions in otelcol.processor.transform change context
The convert_sum_to_gauge and convert_gauge_to_sum functions must now be used in the metric context rather than in the datapoint context.
This is due to a change upstream.
Breaking change: Renamed metrics in beyla.ebpf
process.cpu.state is renamed to cpu.mode and beyla_build_info is renamed to beyla_internal_build_info.
