 - The superfluous `response.WriteHeader` call in `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp` when the response writer is flushed. (#5634)
 - Custom attributes targeting metrics recorded by the `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp` are not ignored anymore. (#5129)

+- Using `c.FullPath()` to set `http.route` attribute in [`otelgin`](go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/gin-gonic/gin/otelgin)
+- Support pass `routeName` to `SpanNameFormatter` in [`otelgin`](go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/gin-gonic/gin/otelgin)
 ### Deprecated
 
 - The `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo/otelmongo` package is deprecated.
