Breaking Changes

  • Event-based telemetry attributes replaced by JSON attributes.
  • Realtime inference moved from `agent_turn` to `realtime_inference` span.
  • Provider name normalization (e.g., `api.openai.com` to `openai`).
  • PII redaction moved from LiveKit Cloud's collector to in-process.
  • Custom `llm_node` attribution changes.

New Features

  • Adoption of OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions.
  • New metrics and request/response attributes.
  • Content capture toggle via environment variable.
  • Deepgram STTv2 (Flux) options.
  • Metrics for reasoning tokens.

Improvements

  • PII filtering moved in-process for better security.
  • Improved form handling to prevent value resets.
  • Configurable tab title for branding.
  • Fixed js-yaml errors in server commands.
  • Private AI gateway compatibility with latest clients.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed js-yaml error in pangctl server commands.
  • Fixed form submissions resetting values on some pages.

Upgrade Notes

LiveKit requires code changes to handle new JSON attributes and span names. Update PII filtering logic if relying on server-side stripping. Pangolin requires Badger Traefik plugin v1.6.0+ and Gerbil v1.5.0.
