metric to metric/sdkapi: Descriptor, MeterImpl, InstrumentImpl, SyncImpl, BoundSyncImpl, AsyncImpl, AsyncRunner, AsyncSingleRunner, and AsyncBatchRunnerObservation, Measurement.sdkapi.NewNoopAsyncInstrument() and sdkapi.NewNoopSyncInstrument() are provided instead.

(#2080, #2335)"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlpmetric/otlpmetricgrpc".WithGRPCConn option so the exporter can reuse an existing gRPC connection. (#2002)schema module to help parse Schema Files in OTEP 0152 format. (#2267)MapCarrier to the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/propagation package to hold propagated cross-cutting concerns as a map[string]string held in memory. (#2334)Nothing published for this version
