 - Add `ErrorType` attribute helper function to the `go.opentelmetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.34.0` package. (#6962)
 - Add `WithAllowKeyDuplication` in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/log` which can be used to disable deduplication for log records. (#6968)
 
+- `log.Record.Clone()` method that returns a copy of the record with no shared state. (#6986)

 ### Changed
 
 - Change `AssertEqual` in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/log/logtest` to accept `TestingT` in order to support benchmarks and fuzz tests. (#6908)
