- Performance boost: count uniq stats, stats pipe, and math pipe see up to 8× speed gains and up to 4× lower memory usage for high‑cardinality fields.
- Added extensive format pipe encoding/decoding (URL, base64, hex, hex‑num) plus value‑type filter, Datadog ingestion flags, and UI autocomplete for LogsQL queries.
- Bugfixes: Datadog ingestion now accepts message as string or object; VL insert field order now defines priority correctly.
