+**Breaking Changes:**
+
+- The `memory_ballast` extension was removed upstream and ADOT Collector in favor of the `GOMEMLIMIT` environment variable, See the [Go documentation](https://pkg.go.dev/runtime#hdr-Environment_Variables) for more information about `GOMEMLIMIT`'s usage.
 
+- The `logging` exporter has been removed upstream in favor of the `debug` exporter. This release removes the logging exporter. See [#11337](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/issues/11337) to migrate to the debug exporter.
