Context

• Add null check to StrictContextStorage (#5954)

Incubator

• Experimental support for Log AnyValue body (#5880)

• Prometheus exporter: omit empty otel_scope_info and otel_target_info metrics (#5887)
• JdkHttpSender should retry on connect exceptions (#5867)
• Expand the set of retryable exceptions in JdkHttpSender (#5942)
• Identify OTLP export calls with context key used for instrumentation suppression (#5918)

Testing

• Add log support to junit extensions (#5966)

SDK Extensions

• Update to file configuration to use opentelemetry-configuration v0.1.0 (#5899)
• Add env var substitution support to file configuration (#5914)
• Stop setting Resource schemaUrl in autoconfigure (#5911)
• Add AutoConfigureListener to provide components with autoconfigured SDK (#5931)
