@@ -18,6 +18,10 @@ This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.htm
 - The `"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric".WithReader` option no longer accepts views to associate with the `Reader`.
    Instead, views are now registered directly with the `MeterProvider` via the new `WithView` option.
    The views registered with the `MeterProvider` apply to all `Reader`s. (#3387)
+- The `Temporality(view.InstrumentKind) metricdata.Temporality` and `Aggregation(view.InstrumentKind) aggregation.Aggregation` methods are added to the `"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric".Exporter` interface. (#3260)
+- The `Temporality(view.InstrumentKind) metricdata.Temporality` and `Aggregation(view.InstrumentKind) aggregation.Aggregation` methods are added to the `"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlpmetric".Client` interface. (#3260)
+- The `WithTemporalitySelector` and `WithAggregationSelector` `ReaderOption`s have been changed to `ManualReaderOption`s in the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric` package. (#3260)
+- The periodic reader in the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric` package now uses the temporality and aggregation selectors from its configured exporter instead of accepting them as options. (#3260)
