 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+
+- Return a `Registration` from the `RegisterCallback` method of a `Meter` in the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric` package.
+  This `Registration` can be used to unregister callbacks. (#3522)
+- Add `Producer` interface and `Reader.RegisterProducer(Producer)` to `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric` to enable external metric Producers. (#3524)
+
 ### Removed
 
 - The deprecated `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric/view` package is removed. (#3520)
 
-### Added
-
-- Add `Producer` interface and `Reader.RegisterProducer(Producer)` to `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric` to enable external metric Producers. (#3524)
