Summary

Agent 6.0 is a full rewrite in Go, adding higher DogstatsD throughput, check concurrency, and a native Prometheus metrics ingest.
Introduces a web‑based configuration UI (localhost port 5002), Windows systray icon, and health‑check subsystem; configuration switches from datadog.conf to datadog.yaml.
Breaking changes include removal of SysV init scripts, Alpine image, and custom check precedence; several integrations (Jenkins, Mesos, HDFS) are deprecated or retired.
