 ### Changed
 
 - Set default propagator to no-op propagator. (#1184)
-- The `HTTPSupplier`, `HTTPExtractor`, `HTTPInjector`, and `HTTPPropagator` from the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/propagation` package were replaced with unified `TextMapCarrier` and `TextMapPropagator` in the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel` package. (#1212)
+- The `HTTPSupplier`, `HTTPExtractor`, `HTTPInjector`, and `HTTPPropagator` from the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/propagation` package were replaced with unified `TextMapCarrier` and `TextMapPropagator` in the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/propagation` package. (#1212) (#1325)
 - The `New` function from the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/propagation` package was replaced with `NewCompositeTextMapPropagator` in the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel` package. (#1212)
 - The status codes of the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/codes` package have been updated to match the latest OpenTelemetry specification.
    They now are `Unset`, `Error`, and `Ok`.
    They no longer track the gRPC codes. (#1214)
 - The `StatusCode` field of the `SpanData` struct in the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/export/trace` package now uses the codes package from this package instead of the gRPC project. (#1214)
-- Move the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/baggage` package into `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/propagators`. (#1217)
+- Move the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/baggage` package into `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/baggage`. (#1217) (#1325)
 - A `Shutdown` method of `SpanProcessor` and all its implementations receives a context and returns an error. (#1264)
