4 New Sinks!
Papertrail, Honeycomb, Pulsar, and DataDog LogsACL is now optional for the Google Cloud Storage sink
ACL is not always required when creating objects in GCP Cloud StorageSet the Lua transform `search_dirs` option to Vector's config dir by default
This allows you to place Lua scripts in the same dir as your Vector configThe Vector Source Now Accepts Metrics
It's not possible to forward metrics between Vector instancesUse external tagging for metrics serialization
We've improved the way we serialize metrics dataLua Transform v2
The next iteration of our Lua transform.The `elasticsearch` sink `compression` option now defaults to `none`
Compression is not supported by all Elasticsearch service providersMore Condition Predicates
More options when filtering and routing eventsNew Filter Transform
Filter and route your logs based on defined conditionsA New Guides Section
High quality guides and education for VectorNew Datadog Logs Sink
Sink logs to the Datadog logging serviceThe `gcp_stackdriver_logging` sink has been renamed to `gcp_stackdriver_logs`
This brings the sink naming inline with consistent naming patternNew Apache Pulsar Sink
Sink logs to the Apache Pulsar serviceNew Honeycomb Sink
Sink logs to the Honeycomb logging serviceNew Papertrail Sink
Sink logs to the Papertrail logging serviceThe `splunk_hec` source's `host_field` option has been renamed to `host_key`
This change ensures that the `host_key` option is consistent across all sourcesNew Tag Cardinality Limit Transform
Protect downstream metrics storages from runaway metrics tagsThe Vector Source & Sink Support TLS
Securely forward data between Vector instancesNew Dedupe Transform
Shed duplicate logsCompression Now Available In The Kafka Sink
Improve throughput by compressing data before writing it to KafkaNew Encoding Options
Vector now lets you whitelist, blacklist, and format fields when events are encodedWhitelist & Blacklist Fields When Encoding
More control over which fields are included when encodingÀ La Carte Custom Vector Builds

Log Data Model Changes & Disk Buffers
We're bringing our log data model closer to JSONNew Rename Fields Transform
An easier way to rename fieldsNew Swimlanes Transform
Split log streams with easeImproved Multiline Support In The File Source
Merge multiple lines together based on rulesLots of New Sinks!
7 new sinks have been added to VectorThe Add Fields Transform Supports Templating

Set defaults for Vector's common log key namesImproved Syslog Parsing
Best effort parsing support for SyslogSupport For Multiple Config Files
A better way to manage complex Vector configurationsAutomatically merge partial Docker events
Docker splits long messages by default, and now Vector merges them back for youAWS specific options have been dropped in the Elasticsearch sink
We've dropped redundant AWS options that may break backward compatibility0.7.0
The `splunk_hec` sink does not index fields by default
This gives you full control over which fields are indexedRename `line` field to `message` in `splunk_hec` source
This change ensures the `splunk_hec` source conforms to Vector's schemaSink options have been refactored
We've simplified and organized our sink optionsUse comma delim server list in `kafka` sink
This change achieve consistency with our `kafka` source and other Kafka clientsNew Prometheus Source
Scrape prometheus metrics with VectorMerge existing `tcp` and `udp` sources into a single `socket` source
We've simplified our socket based sources into a single `socket` sourceRename existing `tcp` sink to `socket` sink
This renames the existing `tcp` sink to `socket`0.6.0
