 - Rename `MergeItererator` to `MergeIterator` in the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/label` package. (#1244)
 - Move the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/metric/metrictest` package into `go.opentelemetry.io/oteltest` as part of #964. (#1252)
 - Move the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/metric` package into `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric` as part of #1303. (#1321)
-- Move the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/metric/registry` package into `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric/registry as a part of #1303. (#1316)
+- Move the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/metric/registry` package into `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric/registry` as a part of #1303. (#1316)
 - Move the `Number` type (together with related functions) from `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/metric` package into `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric/number` as a part of #1303. (#1316)
 - The function signature of the Span `AddEvent` method in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel` is updated to no longer take an unused context and instead take a required name and a variable number of `EventOption`s. (#1254)
 - The function signature of the Span `RecordError` method in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel` is updated to no longer take an unused context and instead take a required error value and a variable number of `EventOption`s. (#1254)
 - Move the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/global` package to `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/global`. (#1262)
 - Rename correlation context header from `"otcorrelations"` to `"baggage"` to match the OpenTelemetry specification. (#1267)
 - Fix `Code.UnmarshalJSON` to work with valid json only. (#1276)
+- Fix the global `TracerProvider` to pass options to its configured provider. (#FIXME)
 - The `resource.New()` method changes signature to support builtin attributes and functional options, including `telemetry.sdk.*` and
   `host.name` semantic conventions; the former method is renamed `resource.NewWithAttributes`. (#1235)
 - The prometheus exporter now exports non-monotonic counters (i.e. `UpDownCounter`s) as gauges. (#1210)
