 This release is the last to support [Go 1.23].
 The next release will require at least [Go 1.24].
 
 ### Added
 
+- Add native histogram exemplar support in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus`. (#6772)
 - Add template attribute functions to the `go.opentelmetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.34.0` package. (#6939)
   - `ContainerLabel`
   - `DBOperationParameter`

 - Add `WithAllowKeyDuplication` in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/log` which can be used to disable deduplication for log records. (#6968)
 - Add `WithCardinalityLimit` option to configure the cardinality limit in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric`. (#6996, #7065, #7081, #7164, #7165, #7179)
 - Add `Clone` method to `Record` in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/log` that returns a copy of the record with no shared state. (#7001)
-- The `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.36.0` package.
-  The package contains semantic conventions from the `v1.36.0` version of the OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions.
-  See the [migration documentation](./semconv/v1.36.0/MIGRATION.md) for information on how to upgrade from `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.34.0.`(#7032)
 - Add experimental self-observability span and batch span processor metrics in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace`.
   Check the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace/internal/x` package documentation for more information. (#7027, #6393, #7209)

 - Add support for configuring Prometheus name translation using `WithTranslationStrategy` option in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus`. The current default translation strategy when UTF-8 mode is enabled is `NoUTF8EscapingWithSuffixes`, but a future release will change the default strategy to `UnderscoreEscapingWithSuffixes` for compliance with the specification.

 ### Changed
 
+- Optimize `TraceIDFromHex` and `SpanIDFromHex` in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace`. (#6791)
 - Change `AssertEqual` in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/log/logtest` to accept `TestingT` in order to support benchmarks and fuzz tests. (#6908)
-- Change `SDKProcessorLogQueueCapacity`, `SDKProcessorLogQueueSize`, `SDKProcessorSpanQueueSize`, and `SDKProcessorSpanQueueCapacity` in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.36.0/otelconv` to use a `Int64ObservableUpDownCounter`. (#7041)
 - Change `DefaultExemplarReservoirProviderSelector` in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric` to use `runtime.GOMAXPROCS(0)` instead of `runtime.NumCPU()` for the `FixedSizeReservoirProvider` default size. (#7094)

 ### Fixed
 
-- Fix `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus` to not append a suffix if it's already present in metric name. (#7088)
 - `SetBody` method of `Record` in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/log` now deduplicates key-value collections (`log.Value` of `log.KindMap` from `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/log`). (#7002)
