Looks like the changelog entry for #2990 has been put into the wrong section of v0.29.0.

🤔 must have missed that before. Fixed

[legendecas]

Thank you for fixing the changelog entry!

[pichlermarc]

We'll need to update the compatibility matrix in README.md 🙂

[vmarchaud]

Are we waiting on a specific PR to release ?

[dyladan]

No just on me to have time since the build takes some time. I'm doing it now

[feywind]

So, I hate to be That Person, but by semantic versioning, deprecating a Node engine shouldn't be a minor. (Even if it's an EOL engine.) It's a breaking change that's going to affect anyone pulling this package in as a ^1 dependency.

No problem. Every project gets complaints and we have to hear them somehow.

by semantic versioning, deprecating a Node engine shouldn't be a minor

This was something we discussed for quite a while including talking to spec maintainers and on several SIG calls and was not a decision we took lightly. Deprecating node versions is something we will need to do regularly in the future. We do not want to support EOL versions and node versions expire every year. If we bump the major version each time node is EOL'd, then we will end up having to regularly bump the major version despite not actually changing any interfaces in a breaking way. If you look at the other OTel implementations, you will see they are also doing the same thing (go for example: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/releases/tag/v1.3.0).
