- Added several new features: Secrets beta on Windows, JSON logging support, container thread count metrics, CRI‑O log collection, and AutoDiscovery of unready pods.
- Introduced breaking changes: Windows agent now runs as a non‑privileged user and the installer prevents direct downgrades; removed the go SNMP check and the ability to send logs to a specific logset at the agent level.
- Fixed numerous issues such as proper JSON log output, correct parsing of multiple Content‑Type headers, metric namespace handling, race conditions in host metadata collection, and improved memory and DNS handling.
