 # Changelog
 
+## [1.14.0](https://github.com/grafana/alloy/compare/v1.13.0...v1.14.0) (2026-02-27)
+
+
+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* **loki.secretfilter:** Some config options are removed entirely:
+    - `partial_mask` (replaced with `redact_percent`)
+    - `allowlist` (now controlled with custom gitleaks config)
+    - `enable_entropy` 
+    - `include_generic` (now controlled with custom gitleaks config)
+    - `types` (now controlled with custom gitleaks config)
+* **otelcol.receiver.prometheus:** `otelcol.receiver.prometheus` no longer sets start times of OTLP metrics. Grafana Cloud and Mimir do not currently use OTLP metric start times. If you do want your metrics to have them, you can use `otelcol.processor.metric_start_time` with `strategy` set to `true_reset_point` to get the same behaviour.
