@@ -28,6 +28,7 @@ This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.htm
 - Fixed the value for configuring the OTLP exporter to use `grpc` instead of `grpc/protobuf` in `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/config`. (#6338)
 - Allow marshaling types in `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/config`. (#6347)
 - Removed the redundant handling of panic from the `HTML` function in `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/gin-gonic/gin/otelgin`. (#6373)
+- The `code.function` attribute emitted by `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/bridges/otelslog` now stores just the function name instead the package path-qualified function name. The `code.namespace` attribute now stores the package path. (#6415)
