0.11.0 (2016-??-??)
===================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* StatAccumInput `percent_threshold` param type convert to slice.
* HttpInput `user` param changed to `username` to match other HTTP plugins.
* DockerLogInput changed to use `logs` API endpoint instead of `attach`. This
helps prevent data loss by allowing use of the `since` parameter to fetch
records that were generated while Heka was down, but it means this input will
now only work with containers using the `json-file` or `journald` logging
drivers.
* Added PatternGroupingSplitter.
Bug Handling
------------
* Updated DockerEventInput to exit when the Docker event stream channel closes
(see https://github.com/fsouza/go-dockerclient/issues/485).
* Updated Sarama dependency from pre-1.0 release fork to fork (with only test
code changes) of Sarama 1.5.0 release.
* Fixed ESJsonEncoder generating invalid JSON when `DynamicFields` is first of
multiple specified fields but the message contains no dynamic fields.
* Fixed bug where DockerLogInput would not reconnect when a Docker daemon
was down for some time (#1843).
* More verbose logging from the DockerLogInput plugin (#1843).
Features
--------
* Added `fields_from_labels`, `container_expiry_days`, and
`new_containers_replay_logs` options to DockerLogInput.
* Added BIND query log decoder.
* Added `bind_queue` option to AMQPInput.
* Added time interval configurability to Unique Items filter.
* Added TLS support to KafkaInput and KafkaOutput plugins.
* Added decoder support to StatAccumInput.
* Added `git_clone_to_path` to the cmake build to allow git repos to be cloned
into alternate locations; useful for relocating forks of Go packages into
their original import paths.
* Added `initial_tail` config option to LogstreamerInput (#1482, #1801).
* Added Splitter support to DockerLogInput plugin (#1843).
* Added `fields_from_labels` config option to DockerLogInput (#1843).
* Added DockerStatsInput plugin.
* Added iowait percentage output field in filter procstat (#1888).
* Added support for 'replace_dot_with' flag in ES encoders (#1947).
0.10.1 (2016-??-??)
===================
Features
--------
* Added `check_data_interval` setting to LogstreamerInput.
* Added `separator` and `maximum_depth` settings to JSON decoder (#1809).
* Added `status_field` setting to http_status filter (#1876)
Bug Handling
------------
* Fixed conditional which was causing InfluxDB line protocol encoder to not
correctly honor the `source_value_field` config setting.
* Don't use `os.Exit` in the pipeline's main `Run` function or else any
wrapping deffered functions (such as those that output the cpu and mem
profiles) won't get called.
* Stop zero-length records with no error ending the splitter if there's
more data to read (#1561)
* Fixed gzipped file seeking in logstreamer may cause an OOM exception.
* Fixed LogstreamerInput file rotation missing newly created files with new
names by always triggering LogstreamSet rescan before checking location in
stream (#1452).
* JSON decoder no longer exits when flattening the field structure fails.
* Fixed bug where HttpOutput would discard the response body before trying to
use the response body when response returned an error status code.
0.10.0 (2015-12-30)
===================
Bug Handling
------------
* Fixed issue where LogstreamerInput doesn't notice when a zero-length file is
deleted and replaced by a new zero-length file before any data is appended
(#1199).
0.10.0b2 (2015-11-20)
=====================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* StatAccumInput Input: percent_threshold param type convert to slice
Bug Handling
------------
* Updated Sarama dependency from pre-1.0 release fork to fork (with only test
code changes) of Sarama 1.5.0 release.
Features
--------
* Added decoder support to StatAccumInput.
* Added `git_clone_to_path` to the cmake build to allow git repos to be cloned
into alternate locations; useful for relocating forks of Go packages into
their original import paths.
0.10.0 (2015-??-??)
=====================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* `DecoderRunner` interface changed `SetSendFailure` to `SetFailureHandling`.
Features
--------
* Allow TcpOutput to re-establish the connection after a configurable number
of successfully delivered messages.
* Added `set_hostname` option to UdpInput configuration (#1668).
* Added `linux_netdev` and `linux_netstat` decoders (#1712).
* Improved error output for ElasticSearchOutput HTTP failures.
* Added `log_decode_failures` config value to decoders.
* Adder `log_flags` to hekad config, to control the prefix for STDOUT and
STDERR logs.
Bug Handling
------------
* Fixed issue where ElasticSearchOutput was trying to send zero length requests
(#1783).
* Fixed race condition in ElasticSearchOutput (#1786).
* AMQPInput `Run` method now returns an error when the input channel closes but
`Stop` hasn't been called to successfully trigger restarts (#1757).
* Fixed error where restarting plugins were losing specified configuration
(#1756).
* Fixed config error where global `max_pack_idle` setting was the wrong type
and was being ignored (#1778).
* Fixed race condition in InputRunner's default deliverer initialization.
* Set hostname correctly in the Graylog decoder (#1663).
* Add sample rate support for gauge type in StatsdInput.
* Fixed some cases where SandboxDecoder wasn't correctly setting
`pack.TrustMsgBytes` to false when needed.
* Fixed broken queue rolling and added test.
* Force ElasticSearch index name to lower case, as required by ElasticSearch.
* Fixed default buffer config values.
* Updated docker configuration so docker build works again (#1634).
* Add generic json lua sandbox decoder (#1651).
* Fixed bug where a SandboxInput configured with a `ticker_interval` would
get stuck in an infinite loop on shutdown (#1705).
* Fixed race condition in the BufferReader's queue file lookup code (#1639).
* Changes in StatAccumInput, FileOutput, TcpInput, ProcessDirectoryInput tests
to minimize intermittent Travis failures.
* Ensure the response is read until it is complete in the HttpOutput plugin.
Previously, the deferred Body.Close() may have been called on incomplete
responses. This resulted in the connections not returning to the client's
Transport connection pool.
* Fixed panic that was occurring when loading a config file or directory that
exists but which registers no plugins (#1597).
* Delay start up when a buffered plugin's buffer is at capacity to give the
back-pressure time to resolve (#1738).
* Fixed bug where LogStreamerInput would sometimes loop infinitely reading the
same file over and over when reading gzipped log files.
0.10.0b1 (2015-08-07)
=====================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* `PluginHelper.PipelinePack` method now returns `(*PipelinePack, err)` values
instead of just `*PipelinePack`.
Features
--------
* Allow multiple sandbox module directories to be specified (#1525).
* Add Nginx stub status lua sandbox decoder
* Add Nginx stub status lua sandbox decoder.
* Added support for SIGUSR2 signal for use when Heka is wedged, triggers a Heka
pipeline report to the console, abort and serialize of all sandboxes, and a
shutdown.
* InputRunner and router's `Inject` methods each now return an error that can
be checked to verify successful message injection.
* Added `SplitStreamNullSplitterToEOF` to SplitterRunner interface so input
plugins can avoid generating messages with whatever happens to come back from
a `Read()` call.
* Validate the buffer max_file_size is greater than MAX_RECORD_SIZE (#1623).
Bug Handling
------------
* Validate the buffer max_file_size is greater than MAX_RECORD_SIZE (#1623).
* Fixed ProcessInput hangs when splitter is defined (#1620, #1644).
* `heka.all-report` and `heka.memstat` messages are now protobuf encoded before
being injected into the router (#1659).
* Fixed ProcessInput not getting process's full output when NullSplitter is in
use (#1645).
0.10.0b0 (2015-07-13)
=====================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* Major overhaul of filter and output plugin APIs to support disk buffering
(#1378).
* `queue_max_buffer_size` and `queue_full_action` config options for TcpOutput
and ElasticSearchOutput are now moved to `max_buffer_size` and `full_action`
in the `buffering` subsection (#1378).
* Go 1.4 now required for building.
* Deprecated the read_next_field() sandbox API; it is targeted for removal in
0.11.0 (#1602).
* Removed unused PipelinePack.Decoded attribute.
* LogOutput will write data to stdout instead of stderr (#1515).
* Using strftime literals for filenames during rotation in FileOutput plugin
(#1469).
* Implemented strftime format codes in: filenames in FileOutput plugin,
ESJsonEncoder, ESLogstashV0Encoder, Payload encoder (#1469, #1508).
* The package created by 'make deb' creates an "heka" user and ships an init
script and a systemd unit.
* The 'make deb' target requires fakeroot and debhelper to be installed.
* SplitterRunner interface now provides a `Done` method that should be called
whenever the splitter is no longer needed.
* `"Fields"` choice for the `fields` setting renamed to `"DynamicFields"` for
both ESJsonEncoder and ESLogstashV0Encoder.
Features
--------
* Added support for `write_message` to delete fields when passed nil values.
* Added a timer_event_on_shutdown configuration option for Filter/Output
sandboxes (#1460).
* Added `replace_dot` setting to StatFilter.
* A protobuf encoding of the current message is now always stored in
pack.MsgBytes prior to injection into the message router (#265).

returns that.
* Added Linux CPU Stats Decoder and CPU Stats Filter.
* Centralized common functions used by the Schema Carbon Line Encoder and
Schema InfluxDB Line Encoder into new ts_line_protocol and field_util modules.
* Added a new sandbox encoder, Schema Carbon Line Encoder, which provides
support for converting fields in a Heka message to metrics formatted to
send to Carbon/Graphite.
* Added a new sandbox encoder, Schema InfluxDB Line Encoder, which updates
compatibility of sending data in Heka message fields to InfluxDB 0.9.0+
write API. It is required to use this encoder when integrating Heka with an
InfluxDB 0.9.0+ instance as the API to commit metrics has changed. This
encoder was also updated to use the line protocol which is now the default
series format for the write API.
* Added support for abstract Unix domain sockets to the UdpInput.

* Fixed config parsing typo bug in heka-logstreamer command (#1436).
* Always check for decoder existence when a decoder is specified for an input
plugin (#1439).

startup time, only shut down Heka if false.
* Fixed typo causing panic in AMQPInput when splitter returns an error
(#1453).

doesn't return an error (#1367).
* Ensured plugin list file is closed after writing to it in Dashboard plugin.
* Fixed exiting / restart behavior for ProcessInput to match documentation
(#1395).
* UdpOutput drops message if its size exceeds allowed UDP data size (#1393).
0.9.0 (2015-02-25)
==================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* Major overhaul of Heka's configuration loading code. This doesn't impact
most plugins, it's only a breaking change for plugins that happen to
instantiate and manage the lifecycles of other embedded plugins, e.g.
MultiDecoder, ProcessDirectoryInput, SandboxManagerFilter.
* All inputs now support `decoder`, `synchronous_decode`, and
`send_decode_failures` config options, automatically extracted by Heka's
config system.
* InputRunner now handles message decoding and delivery to the router,
according to the specifications of the input's configuration. This is
accomplished either directly via the `Deliver` method or, in cases where
decoding might need to happen in separate goroutines, through `Deliverer`
objects available from the `NewDeliverer` method.
* Hekad and all clients started using stdout for informational messages and
stderr for error messages.
* Stats Accum Input treats gauge inputs as float64 rather than int64 to match
statsd spec and other statsd implementations (#850).
* Introduction of Splitter plugins, accompanied by major changes to how input
plugins work to support the use of Splitter plugins. (#424)
* TcpInput and UdpInput now set a non-protobuf encoded message's Type field to
the configured input plugin name instead of the hard-coded string
"NetworkInput".
Bug Handling
------------
* Fix the shutdown hang caused by a Filter/Output plugin failure (#1324).
* Fix the RPM dependency errors on Centos7 (#1311).
* Don't output empty messages when use_framing = true (#1326).
* KafkaInput uses the oldest offset available instead of zero when no
checkpoint file exists and the offset method is set to manual. KafkaInput
also correctly closes the checkpoint file before removing it when it is
invalid (#1325).
* Handle empty byte fields in the sandbox interface (#1284).
* Reset header when discarding valid but oversized messages (#1221).
* Prevent the protobuf stream encoder from creating messages over
MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE (#1204).
* AMQPOutput now uses defined constants for delivery mode instead of hard
coded (and wrong) integer values (#1235).
* Hekad now respects --config parameter and loads default config path
instead of printing help and exit (#1239).
* MessageProtoParser now handles EOF gracefully, and returns all
complete records up to the end of the stream without having to
use GetRemainingData() (#1305).
* HttpListenInput no longer URL unescapes the HTTP request body (#1124).
* SmtpOutput now encodes email subject when necessary (#1277).
* All config files are now pre-loaded before any of the config is actually
loaded to prevent default plugins from being registered for each separate
config file, possibly overriding custom config.
Features
--------
* Added decode_message to the sandbox API (#1344).
* Added a SandboxInput plugin (#1333).
* Added a SandboxOutput plugin (#1303).

functions for use by external packages.
* Added heartbeat monitoring sandbox filter plugin.
* Include the new lua_sandbox with support for shared library modules.
* Allow the sandbox process_message function to set the last error string
when it returns (#1191).

filter.
* Added option (immediate_start) to start process immediately in ProcessInput
(#1131).

overriding the hostname value provided by Go's `os.Hostname` call (#1123).
* Added 'connect_timeout' option in ElasticSearch output plugin.
* Slightly improve error output in ElasticSearch plugin.
* Added support for HTTP authentication to ElasticSearchOutput.
* TcpOutput's disk buffering now supports specification of a max buffer size
and an action to take if the max size is reached, from 'shutdown', 'drop',
or 'block' (#1110).
* Added `send_interval` setting to SmtpOutput.
* Added `timestamp` format setting to ESLogstashV0Encoder (#1142).
* LogstreamerInput now uses first two "magic" bytes to identify gzip files
instead of relying on `.gz` suffix.
* Added on-disk buffering to ElasticSearchOutput. It is enabled by default.
* Added TLS support to ElasticSearchOutput (#1259).
* Added ability for HttpListenInput to capture specified HTTP request headers
and write them as message fields.
* Added ability for Statsd input handler to treat a malformed stat line
one at time without skipping all the "good" stats in a multi-line input
(more like statsd itself).
* Added `message_interval` setting support to heka-flood test configuration.
* Added `cert_path` setting for TLS support to DockerLogInput.
* Added new fields to messages generated by HttpListenInput, including
RemoteAddr, Path, EnvVersion, Hostname (the name of the server that
handled the request), and Host (the host to which the client sent the
request) (#1328).
* Added `hostname_keep` option to RsyslogDecoder (#1338).
* Added an option to Schema InfluxDB Encoder to send the data to InfluxDB as
a list of series rather than the default of a single series for all fields
in the message.
* Added an option to Schema InfluxDB Encoder that excludes all base fields
from being sent to InfluxDB to reduce the network traffic and storage
demands if these fields aren't useful.
* Added `read_only` setting to AMQPInput to support read-only users.
* Added ability to specify MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE via configuration file of hekad
and heka-flood (#1208).
* Changed default plugin_chansize setting from 50 to 30 (#1242).
0.8.3 (2015-01-08)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* Fixed LogstreamerInput to use a separate DecoderRunner for every
LogstreamInput created, rather than sending all of the streams through a
single decoder.
0.8.2 (2015-01-06)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* Fix rsyslog sandbox decoder test to use current year and location for
timestamp parsing, since syslog timestamp format makes that assumption.
* Ensure that geoip_decoder is not included in release binaries.
0.8.1 (2014-12-17)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* Fix leaky file descriptor bug on http_output.go.

message matcher, instead of for every matcher every time (#1167).
* StatsdInput allows to specify (via max_msg_size option) size of message read
from UDP (#1165).
* AMQPOutput now recycles packs even when a publish error causes the output to
exit / restart (#1178).

* Fixed LogstreamInput extraneous journal saves that caused high disk IO
when EOF is reached.
0.8.0 (2014-10-29)
==================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* Audited the use of Logger and Type headers on internal message (#1024). These
changes may break some existing message matchers with regards to
plugin/sandbox termination messages.
* Sandbox decoder linux_cpustats has been renamed to linux_loadavg and the
corresponding filter cpustats was renamed to loadavg (#1094).
* ESLogstashv0 encoder will now set the @type field to match the ES record
type specified in the `type_name` setting. This is Logstash behaviour in
V0. You can revert back to the old method with `use_message_type = true`
Bug Handling
------------
* linux_diskstats.lua will now parse a line with no leading space (#1141).
* Protect globals.Stopping with a RWMutex.
* Added support for `fields` config setting to ESLogstashV0Encoder; it was
already documented, but hadn't been implemented (#1096).
* Fixed deadlock race condition in AMQPOutput shutdown sequence (#824).
Features
--------
* Added Kafka Input/Output plugins (#1148).
* Optimized prefix/suffix testing in the message matcher (#1040).
* LogstreamerInput now supports seekjournal file hashing for files that are
less than 500 bytes in length; hash is generated against file contents with
0 bytes prepended to make 500 bytes of hash content (#972).
* Support environment variables in config files (#1023).
* Add Dockerfiles and example Docker usage to repo
* Encoders can now return (nil, nil) to express that they've swallowed the

==================
Bug Handling
------------

created at startup.
* Fixed issue with keeping previous EOF state in LogStreamer (#1119).
* ProcessInput now honors documented restart behavior (#1117).
0.7.2 (2014-10-01)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* Fail more gracefully if user doesn't specify a scheme in the server URL for
the ElasticSearchOutput (#1069).
* Correctly compute http timeout interval for ElasticSearchOutput when using
HTTP indexing.
* Fixed issue w/ inaccurate payload sizes in heka-flood.
* Allow severity to be modified by the MessageTemplate logic for use in
ScribbleDecoder (#1084).
* Render pack diagnostic idle time in seconds (as specified) instead of
nanoseconds.
* Prevent orphaned matchers from remaining in the router's matcher lists in
cases where a filter or output registered in one TOML file overrides a
filter or output of the same name in an earlier TOML file.
0.7.1 (2014-09-02)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* Fixed handling of TcpInput and TcpOutput keep_alive_period default value
handling, and added docs (#1054).
* Fixed OSX lua_sandbox build error.
* Fixed load ordering of nested MultiDecoders (#1045).
0.7.0 (2014-08-27)
==================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* Switched to using fork of gomock, import location changed from
`code.google.com/p/gomock` to `github.com/rafrombrc/gomock`.
* Move *GlobalConfigStruct out of pipeline package's global namespace, it is
now stored as an attribute on PipelineConfig. Any code that used to call
pipeline.Globals() now must instead access *PipelineConfig.Globals. The
`WantsPipelineConfig` interface has been introduced to give plugins access
to the active *PipelineConfig if it's needed in the ConfigStruct or Init
methods (#951).
* Removed deprecated `pipeline.GetHekaConfigDir` API call, which has been
replaced by `PrependBaseDir` and `PrependShareDir` for a few versions
now.
* Removed the regular expression template support from the message matcher
(issue #960).
* Updated the AMQP input / output configuration values to use underscore
delimited words for long config options (issue #953).
* LogstreamerInput now errors on nonexistent `log_directory` instead of
creating the folder (issue #1066).
Bug Handling

* Eliminated race condition in use of global AMQPHub in AMQP input / output
plugins (#953).
Features
--------
* Added StatMetric Influx Encoder.
* Added RstEncoder.
* Added support for '__ignore_root' tag in add_external_plugin to allow
external packages to be added which do not have any .go files
in their root directory (issue #955).
* Switched from using goprotobuf to gogoprotobuf with marshal_all and
unmarshal_all extensions for significant performance increase.
* Added stats graph sandbox filter to make it easier to generate graphs of
statsd / graphite metrics (issue #966).
* Added support for the majority of repository URI formats when cloning external
Go packages (issue #937).
* Added the ability to test for field existence in message matcher (issue #958).
* Added support to ESJSonEncoder and ESLogstashV0Encoder to properly encode
field arrays.
* Added a filter to monitor all process message failures (issue #948).
* Added UdpOutput.
* Added IrcOutput.
* Added support for filter and output plugins to optionally exit without
causing Heka to shutdown via config option.
* Added support for custom HTTP Headers in HttpListenInput and DashboardOutput.
0.6.1 (2014-08-27)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* CarbonOutput using UDP transport now uses multiple packets to send stats
data to Carbon server when output would be longer than the 64KiB max size
for UDP packets (issue #1035).
* StatsdInput now trims all whitespace around incoming stat names instead of
just trailing newlines (issue #1011).
* Fixed silent failures in ElasticSearchOutput bulk indexing operations.
* Fixed permanent loss of HTTP connection in certain cases when ElasticSearch
has been restarted (issue #1008).
* Fixed default sandbox script type when loading dynamic plugins.
0.6.0 (2014-07-09)
==================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* Go 1.3 now required for building.
* Changed handling of message stream framing. Before stream framing was
presumed to always be required when encoding with protocol buffers, and not
required when using other encodings. Now all outputs support an optional
`use_framing` setting that will determine whether or not framing will be
applied when using the OutputRunner's Encode method (issue #922).
* All files in a config directory that do not end in ".toml" will now be
ignored and not loaded as a part of the Heka configuration (issue #750).
* Removed the PayloadJsonDecoder which is replaced by the Lua sandbox cjson
module (issue 826).
* Removed LogfileInput and LogfileDirectoryManagerInput which were replaced
by LogstreamerInput in 0.5.0 (issue 914).
* MultiDecoder no longer sets prepends name of the decoder instance to the
message type value for every message. This was impacting performance, is
almost never what is needed, and is almost always overwritten by the nested
subdecoders anyway.
* MultiDecoder now has a `subs` option that refers to other top level decoder
config definitions, instead of nested sub-configs and a separate `order`
option specifying the order. This makes for less typing and the ability to
reuse decoder definitions as both standalone decoders and across multiple
MultiDecoders (issue #485).
* ElasticSearchOutput now uses an Encoder plugin instead of MessageFormatters.
Created ESJsonEncoder, ESLogstashV0Encoder, and ESPayloadEncoder
(implemented as a SandboxEncoder in es_payload.lua) to replicate prior
formatter behavior.
* Changed the Lua sandbox API. inject_message is no longer overloaded, output
has been renamed to add_to_payload, and inject_payload has been introduced.
* Changed TcpOutput, FileOutput, and LogOutput to use Encoder plugins for
output formatting instead of bespoke formatting implementations.
* The rsyslog decoder now further parses the %SYSLOGTAG% variable. The
fields.syslogtag no longer exists and is replaced by fields.programname and
message.Pid (issue #677).
* Removed no-longer-used 'decoder_poolsize' global config setting.
Bug Handling
------------
* Fixed the ElasticSearchOutput to always use UTC times in the bulk API header
(issue #504).
* Fixed the SandboxDecoder panic when failing the Decode() after successfully
injecting a message (issue #910).
* StatsdInput no longer spins up a new goroutine for each stat (issue #359).
* MultiDecoder no longer prevents shutdown if a nested SandboxDecoder crashes
during startup (issue #896).
* MultiDecoder using `cascade_strategy = "all"` now passes all generated packs
to all nested decoders instead of skipping the remainder if an earlier pack
in the sequence fails to decode (issue #896).
* MultiDecoder no longer tries to recycle the original pack, leaving that job
to the DecoderRunner as intended (issue #896).
* Updated SmtpOutput to use a slice instead of a map to generate SMTP headers
so the order will remain consistent when using Go 1.3 or later.
* Use FindProcess instead of syscall.Kill to make the 'pid_file' configuration
setting work on Windows (issue #807)
* Fix the SandboxFilter ReportMsg panic on termination/shutdown (issue #816)
* MultiDecoder with no 'order' set now fails on init instead of panicking on
first message.
* Fix panic on SIGUSR1 caused by no reports in a given plugin category (issue
#832).
* Fix file_match config of plugin logstreamer_input (issue #893).
* StatFilter now correctly handles values from integer or float fields (issue
#612).
