 # Change Log - @splunk/otel
 
-## 3.0.0-rc1
+## 3.0.0
+
+> [!WARNING]
+>### Breaking changes
+>- Raise the minimum required Node.js version to 18. If Node <18 is a requirement, [2.x](https://github.com/signalfx/splunk-otel-js/tree/2.x) is still maintained and package versions 2.x can be used.
+>- Change the default OTLP protocol from `grpc` to `http/protobuf`. The default exporting endpoint has been changed from `http://localhost:4317` to `http://localhost:4318`. Signal specific URL paths are automatically added when choosing the endpoint, e.g. when `endpoint` is set to `http://collector:4318`, `/v1/traces` is added for traces.
+>- Change the default sampler from `parentbased_always_on` to `always_on`.
+>- Profiling configuration: `resource: Resource` field has been changed to `resourceFactory: (resource: Resource) => Resource` to bring it in line with tracing and metrics configuration.

 - Improve the start API to avoid duplicating parameters in the signal specific configuration.
   * Add `resource` field - a function which can be used to overwrite or add additional parameters to the resource detected from the environment.

   Signal specific options can still be used and take preference over the shared configuration options.
-- Profiling configuration: `resource: Resource` field has been changed to `resourceFactory: (resource: Resource) => Resource` to bring it in line with tracing and metrics configuration.
 - `splunk.distro.version` (automatically added resource attribute) has been removed and is replaced with `telemetry.distro.version` and `telemetry.distro.name`.
 - `SPLUNK_METRICS_ENDPOINT` environment variable has been removed. Use the OpenTelemetry specific `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_ENDPOINT` instead.
 - Fix logging of `service.name` attribute not set from each signal, when the service name is not set.
 - Add prebuilt binaries for Node.js 22 and 23.
 - Upgrade to OpenTelemetry `1.30.0` / `0.57.0`.
