- Add `LocalSentrySpan` to `sentry-compose` so apps can provide a parent `ISpan` to a composable subtree and have nested `SentryTraced` spans attach to it ([#6112]https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/6112)
- Add `dataCollection`, a fine-grained replacement for `sendDefaultPii`, for controlling data collected automatically by SDK integrations ([#5759](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/5759))
- `sendDefaultPii` remains supported for backwards compatibility. When `dataCollection` is not configured, the SDK preserves the existing `sendDefaultPii` behavior.

> [!WARNING]
> `sendDefaultPii` will be removed in the next major SDK version. Migrate to `dataCollection` before upgrading.

- Until then, when `dataCollection` is not configured, the SDK preserves the existing `sendDefaultPii` behavior.
- Configuring any `dataCollection` option makes it the source of truth. `sendDefaultPii` is then ignored, and omitted `dataCollection` options use the defaults below.
- The Logback appender is a compatibility exception. When an encoder is configured, `sendDefaultPii=true` continues to include the original message template and parameters. To opt in independently of `sendDefaultPii`, set `<includeUnencodedMessage>true</includeUnencodedMessage>` on the Sentry appender in `logback.xml` or `logback-spring.xml`.
- Data explicitly supplied through APIs such as `Sentry.setUser`, scopes, event processors, or `beforeSend` is not affected.
