 ## What's new in COS 3
 
+- **Opentelemetry collector**. Charmed opentelemetry-collector's workload is pinned to version 0.130 because the upstream `opentelemetry-collector-contrib` [project](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib) dropped support for Loki exporter in [release v0.131.0](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/releases/tag/v0.131.0), stating that users can migrate to the OTLP exporters instead.
+  - The logging integrations for the `opentelemetry-collector` charms rely on `lokiexporter` to send logs to Loki push API endpoints. Loki only recently received upstream support for an OTLP endpoint, and migrating to an OTLP-first ecosystem in COS began in 26.04. The objective is to have support for OTLP ecosystem-wide by the end of 26.10 and to deprecate the Loki Push API feature (`logging` endpoint). Support will then be fully dropped in 27.04, and the `opentelemetry-collector` charms will no longer be pinned to `v0.130`.
