+- (Core) `exporterhelper`: Fix persistent queue size backup on reads.  ([#9740](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/pull/9740))
+- (Core) `processor/batch`: Prevent starting unnecessary goroutines.  ([#9739](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/issues/9739))
+- (Core) `otlphttpexporter`: prevent error on empty response body when content type is application/json  ([#9666](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/issues/9666))

 - (Splunk) `telemetry`: Simplify the config converter setting the `metric_relabel_configs` in the Prometheus receiver 
   to remove the excessive internal metrics. Now, it only overrides the old default rule excluding `.*grpc_io.*` metrics.
   Any other custom setting is left untouched. Otherwise, customizing the `metric_relabel_configs` is very difficult.
