 # Changes

+### Features
+
+* **spanner/admin/instance:** Add support for Cloud Spanner Default Backup Schedules ([706ecb2](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/commit/706ecb2c813da3109035b986a642ca891a33847f))
+* **spanner:** Client built in metrics ([#10998](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/issues/10998)) ([d81a1a7](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/commit/d81a1a75b9efbf7104bb077300364f8d63da89b5))

+* **spanner/test/opentelemetry/test:** WARNING: On approximately Dec 1, 2024, an update to Protobuf will change service registration function signatures to use an interface instead of a concrete type in generated .pb.go files.

+* **spanner:** Attempt latency for streaming call should capture the total latency till decoding of protos ([#11039](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/issues/11039)) ([255c6bf](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/commit/255c6bfcdd3e844dcf602a829bfa2ce495bcd72e))
