 - Added `Environment` to the `Scope`, allowing you to overwrite the `Environment` set on the options ([#5772](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/5772))
   - The scope `Environment` is also applied to the trace envelope header (DSC), logs, metrics and profiles, so all telemetry of a trace reports the same environment
+- Add an `attachTracingHeaders` flag to `SentryApolloInterceptor` to stop attaching `sentry-trace` and `baggage` headers to Apollo v2 requests ([#6414](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/6414))
+  - Apollo v2 has no request URL in the interceptor, so these headers are attached without checking `tracePropagationTargets`. Pass `attachTracingHeaders = false` to opt out.
