This project is intended to provide helpful libraries and standalone
OpenTelemetry-based utilities that don't fit the express scope of the
[OpenTelemetry .NET](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet) or
[OpenTelemetry .NET Automatic
Instrumentation](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet-instrumentation)
projects.

guidelines](./CONTRIBUTING.md).
## Project status
This repository is a collection of components maintained by different
authors and groups. As such, components shipped from this repository (via
[NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/)) may be at different stability/maturity levels.
The status for each individual component is mentioned in its respective
`README.md` file and will fall into one of the following categories:
### Development
Component is currently in development and is NOT available on
[NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/).
### Alpha
The component is ready to be used for limited non-critical workloads and the
authors of this component would welcome your feedback. Bugs and performance
problems should be reported, but component owners might not work on them right
away. Components can go through significant breaking changes and there are no
backward compatibility guarantees. Package versions in this status have the
`-alpha` extension (eg: opentelemetry.exporter.abc-1.0.0-alpha.1).
### Beta
Same as Alpha, but comparatively more stable. Package versions in this status
have the `-beta` extension (eg: opentelemetry.exporter.abc-1.0.0-beta.1).
### Release candidate
Component is close to stability. There may be minimal breaking changes between
releases. A component at this stage is expected to have had exposure to
non-critical production workloads already during its **Alpha/Beta** phase(s),
making it suitable for broader usage. Package versions in this status have the
`-rc` extension (eg: opentelemetry.exporter.abc-1.0.0-rc.1).
### Stable
The component is ready for general availability. Bugs and performance problems
should be reported and the component owner(s) SHOULD triage and/or resolve them
in a timely manner. The package versions MUST follow [SemVer
V2](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
## Support
This repository is maintained by [.NET Contrib maintainers](#maintainers) team
and [.NET Contrib approvers](#approvers) who can help with reviews and code
approval. However, as individual components are developed by numerous
contributors, approvers and maintainers are not expected to directly contribute
to every component. The list of owners for each component can be found in
component's `Readme.md` file.

## Releases
For details about upcoming planned releases see:
[Milestones](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet-contrib/milestones).
The dates and features described in issues and milestones are estimates and
subject to change.
For highlights and announcements for stable releases see the `CHANGELOG.md` file
for individual NuGet packages under the [src](./src) directory.
To access packages, source code, and/or view a list of changes for all
components in a release see:
[Releases](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet-contrib/releases).
Nightly builds from this repo are published to [MyGet](https://www.myget.org),
and can be installed using the
`https://www.myget.org/F/opentelemetry/api/v3/index.json` source.
## Attestation
Starting with the `1.14.*` releases the DLLs included in the packages pushed to
NuGet are attested using [GitHub Artifact attestations](https://docs.github.com/actions/concepts/security/artifact-attestations).
To verify the attestation of a DLL inside a NuGet package use the [GitHub CLI](https://cli.github.com/).
For example:
```bash
gh attestation verify --owner open-telemetry .\OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http.dll
```
> [!NOTE]
> A successful verification outputs `Verification succeeded!`.
For more verification options please refer to the [`gh attestation verify`
documentation](https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_attestation_verify).
