 - Support for stdoutlog exporter in `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/config`. (#5850)
 - Add macOS ARM64 platform to the compatibility testing suite. (#5868)
+- The `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/bridges/otelzap` module.
+  This module provides an OpenTelemetry logging bridge for `go.uber.org/zap`. (#5191)
+- The `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/config` package supports configuring `with_resource_constant_labels` for the prometheus exporter. (#5890)
+- Add new runtime metrics to `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/runtime`, which are still disabled by default. (#5870)
+- Support for the `OTEL_HTTP_CLIENT_COMPATIBILITY_MODE=http/dup` environment variable in `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp` to emit attributes for both the v1.20.0 and v1.24.0 semantic conventions. (#5401)
