* Merge a PR to `main` with the following changes:
* Update the `CHANGELOG.md`
* The semantic conventions version bump and code generation are handled automatically by the
[auto-update-semconv workflow](.github/workflows/auto-update-semconv.yml), which opens a PR
against `main` whenever a new `open-telemetry/semantic-conventions` release is published.
* Optionally, merge a PR to `main` updating `CHANGELOG.md` if there are any notable changes
beyond the straight semantic conventions version update in this release.
* The heading for the unreleased entries should be `## Unreleased`
* Bump the `semanticConventionsVersion` variable in `build.gradle.kts` to version
of `semantic-conventions` to be released
* Follow the instructions
to [generate the semantic conventions](CONTRIBUTING.md#generating-semantic-conventions)
* Run
the [Prepare release branch workflow](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions-java/actions/workflows/prepare-release-branch.yml)
* Press the "Run workflow" button, and leave the default branch `main` selected
