Release 0.8 was the last in the line of releases marked as "unstable".
This release broke compatibility in more ways than were recognized and
documented at the time of its release. In particular, #278 created
the NumberDataPoint type and used it in several locations in place
of the former DoubleDataPoint. The new oneof in NumberDataPoint
re-used the former DoubleDataPoint tag number, which means that
pre-0.8 DoubleSum and DoubleGauge points would parse correctly as
a 0.8 Sum and Gauge points containing double-valued numbers.
However, by virtue of a syntax = "proto3" declaration, the protocol
compiler for all versions of OTLP have not included field presence,
which means 0 values are not serialized. The result is that valid
OTLP 0.7 DoubleSum and DoubleGauge points would not parse
correctly as OTLP 0.8 data. Instead, they parse as
NumberDataPoint with a missing value in the oneof field.
