On behalf of the community, I am pleased to announce that the release of the Spring Cloud Sletuh OTel 1.1.0 project is available today. The release can be found in Maven Central. You can check out the reference documentation for more information.

What is this?

Spring Cloud Sleuth OTel is an extension project to Spring Cloud Sleuth that comes with an OpenTelemetry tracer.

As always, we welcome feedback on GitHub, on Gitter, on Stack Overflow, or on Twitter.

To get started with Maven with a BOM (dependency management only):
