Release Notes

Major Kubernetes features now integrated. The default transport is now 'http' (with TLS, of course) and now retries on recoverable errors. 1st party tail module should provide more memory stability and supports reading from beginning of newly created log files (<4kb). Added more configuration options to exclude files from logdir matches. The web socket now maintains an active keepalive to improve reliability.
