 - Similar to the `opentelemetry-appender-tracing` fix [2658](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust/issues/2658)
   InstrumentationScope(Logger) used by the appender now uses an empty ("") named Logger.
   Previously, a Logger with name and version of the crate was used.
   Receivers (processors, exporters) are expected to use `LogRecord.target()` as scope name.
   This is already done in OTLP Exporters, so this change should be transparent to most users.
+- Update `opentelemetry` dependency version to 0.29.
+- Update `opentelemetry-semantic-conventions` dependency version to 0.29.

+- Update `opentelemetry-http` dependency to 0.29.
 - **Breaking**: The `Runtime` trait has been simplified and refined. See the [#2641](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust/pull/2641)
   for the changes.
 - Removed `async-std` support for `Runtime`, as [`async-std` crate is deprecated](https://crates.io/crates/async-std).
