 ### Changed
 
 - Enable exemplars by default in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric`. Exemplars can be disabled by setting `OTEL_METRICS_EXEMPLAR_FILTER=always_off` (#5778)
+- `Logger.Enabled` in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/log` now accepts a newly introduced `EnabledParameters` type instead of `Record`. (#5791)
+- `FilterProcessor.Enabled` in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/log/internal/x` now accepts `EnabledParameters` instead of `Record`. (#5791)

+### Logger.Enabled
+
+The `Enabled` method implements the [`Enabled` operation](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/logs/bridge-api/#enabled).
+
+[`Context` associated with the `LogRecord`](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/context/)
+is accepted as a `context.Context` method argument.
+
+Calls to `Enabled` are supposed to be on the hot path and the list of arguments
+can be extendend in future. Therefore, in order to reduce the number of heap
+allocations and make it possible to handle new arguments, `Enabled` accepts
+a `EnabledParameters` struct, defined in [logger.go](logger.go), as the second
+method argument.
+
+The `EnabledParameters` getters are returning values using the `(value, ok)`
+idiom in order to indicate if the values were actually set by the caller or if
+there are unspecified.
