Update Span API event methods

 ### Added
 
+- `EventOption` and the related `NewEventConfig` function are added to the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel` package to configure Span events. (#1254)
 - A `TextMapPropagator` and associated `TextMapCarrier` are added to the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/oteltest` package to test TextMap type propagators and their use. (#1259)
 
 ### Changed
@@ -27,10 +28,14 @@ This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.htm
    This matches the returned type and fixes misuse of the term metric. (#1240)
 - Move test harness from the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/apitest` package into `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/oteltest`. (#1241)
 - Rename `MergeItererator` to `MergeIterator` in the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/label` package. (#1244)
+- The function signature of the Span `AddEvent` method in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel` is updated to no longer take an unused context and instead take a required name and a variable number of `EventOption`s. (#1254)
+- The function signature of the Span `RecordError` method in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel` is updated to no longer take an unused context and instead take a required error value and a variable number of `EventOption`s. (#1254)
 
 ### Removed
 
 - The `ErrInvalidHexID`, `ErrInvalidTraceIDLength`, `ErrInvalidSpanIDLength`, `ErrInvalidSpanIDLength`, or `ErrNilSpanID` from the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel` package are unexported now. (#1243)
+- The `AddEventWithTimestamp` method on the `Span` interface in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel` is removed due to its redundancy.
+    It is replaced by using the `AddEvent` method with a `WithTimestamp` option. (#1254)
 
 ### Fixed
