 # Experimental! OpenTelemetry Logs for Ruby Demo
 
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **Update 2024-12-05:** Some of the gems referenced in this example are now available
+> on RubyGems, so you no longer need to install them from source.
+> * `opentelemetry-logs-sdk`
+> * `opentelemetry-sdk` version 1.6+
+> * `opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-logs`
+>
+> The gems with `api` in the name should be installed automatically where needed.
+> The `opentelemetry-instrumentation-*` gems referenced in this example have not been released.
+> The example Gemfile has been updated to reflect what's needed.
