   [#2770](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust/issues/2770)
   partially to properly handle `shutdown()` when using `http`. (`tonic` still
   does not do proper shutdown)
+- *Breaking*
+ ExporterBuilder's build() method now Result with `ExporterBuildError` being the
+ Error variant. Previously it returned signal specific errors like `LogError`
+ from the `opentelemetry_sdk`, which are no longer part of the sdk. No changes
+ required if you were using unwrap/expect. If you were matching on the returning
+ Error enum, replace with the enum `ExporterBuildError`. Unlike the previous
+ `Error` which contained many variants unrelated to building an exporter, the
+ new one returns specific variants applicable to building an exporter. Some
+ variants might be applicable only on select features.
