 Updates:
 
+- Rename OTEL_TRACE_SAMPLER and OTEL_TRACE_SAMPLER_ARG env variables to OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER and OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER_ARG
+  ([#1382](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/pull/1382))
 - Mark some entries in compliance matrix as optional([#1359](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/pull/1359))
   SDKs are free to provide support at their discretion.
 - Rename signal-specific variables for `OTLP_EXPORTER_*` to `OTLP_EXPORTER_TRACES_*` and `OTLP_EXPORTER_METRICS_*`([#1362](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/pull/1362))
 - Versioning and stability guarantees for OpenTelemetry clients([#1291](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/pull/1291))
 - Additional Cassandra semantic attributes
   ([#1217](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/pull/1217))
-- OTEL_EXPORTER environment variable replaced with OTEL_TRACE_EXPORTER and
+- OTEL_EXPORTER environment variable replaced with OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER and
   OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER which each accept only a single value, not a list.
   ([#1318](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/pull/1318))
 - `process.runtime.description` resource convention: Add `java.vm.name`
