=== Breaking changes in 7.0

This section discusses the main changes that you should be aware of if you
upgrade the Beats to version 7.0. {see-relnotes}

[float]
==== HTML escaping is disabled by default

Starting with verion 7.0, embedded HTML or special symbols like `<` and `>` are
no longer escaped by default when publishing events.
To configure the old behavior of escaping HTML, set `escape_html:
true` in the output configuration.

//tag::notable-breaking-changes[]
[float]
==== Filebeat registry

Starting with version 7.0, Filebeat stores the registry in a sub-directory.
The directory is configured using the `filebeat.registry.path` setting.
If Filebeat finds an old registry file at the configured location, it will
automatically migrate the registry file to the new format.

The settings `filebeat.registry_flush` and `filebeat.registry_file_permission`
have been renamed to `filebeat.registry.flush` and
`filebeat.registry.file_permission`.

//end::notable-breaking-changes[]

[float]
==== ILM support

Support for Index Lifecycle Management is GA with Beats version 7.0. This
release moved most ILM settings from the `output.elasticsearch.ilm` namespace to
the `setup.ilm` namespace.

//tag::notable-breaking-changes[]

[float]
==== Filebeat apache2 module renamed

The Filebeat `apache2` module is renamed to `apache` in 7.0.

[float]
==== Field name changes
