   These methods would also no longer set the global tracer provider. It would now be the responsibility of users to set it by calling `global::set_tracer_provider(tracer_provider.clone());`. Refer to the [basic-otlp](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust/blob/main/opentelemetry-otlp/examples/basic-otlp/src/main.rs) and [basic-otlp-http](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust/blob/main/opentelemetry-otlp/examples/basic-otlp-http/src/main.rs) examples on how to initialize OTLP Trace Exporter.
 - **Breaking** Correct the misspelling of "webkpi" to "webpki" in features [#1842](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust/pull/1842)
 - Bump MSRV to 1.70 [#1840](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust/pull/1840)
+- Fixing the OTLP HTTP/JSON exporter. [#1882](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust/pull/1882) - The exporter was broken in the
+  previous release.
 - **Breaking** [1869](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust/pull/1869) The OTLP logs exporter now populates the [InstrumentationScope::name](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-proto/blob/b3060d2104df364136d75a35779e6bd48bac449a/opentelemetry/proto/common/v1/common.proto#L73) field with the name of the target/component emitting the logs, instead of the appender's name as done previously.
