 # @backstage/backend-plugin-api
 
+## 1.9.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- 90b572e: Adds an alpha `TracingService` to provide a unified interface for emitting trace spans across Backstage plugins.
+- 6209065: Added `context` and `propagation` to the alpha `TracingService`. Plugins can bridge OpenTelemetry context across async boundaries via `tracing.propagation.extract(tracing.context.active(), carrier)` followed by `tracing.context.with(ctx, fn)`, and read propagated baggage via `tracing.propagation.getActiveBaggage()` or `tracing.propagation.getBaggage(ctx)`.
+- Updated dependencies
+  - @backstage/errors@1.3.1
+  - @backstage/plugin-permission-node@0.11.0
+  - @backstage/plugin-auth-node@0.7.1
+  - @backstage/plugin-permission-common@0.9.9
+  - @backstage/cli-common@0.2.2
+  - @backstage/config@1.3.8
