on GitHub

The COSE team is excited to announce version 0.54.0! 🚀

Release highlights

• Enhanced vector top with new keybinds for scrolling, sorting, and filtering. Press ? to see all available keybindings.
• The datadog_logs sink now defaults to zstd compression instead of no compression, resulting in better network efficiency and higher throughput.
• Added component_latency_seconds histogram and component_latency_mean_seconds gauge internal metrics, exposing the time an event spends in a component.
• Syslog encoding transform received major upgrades with improved RFC compliance, support for scalars/nested objects/arrays in structured data, and better UTF-8 safety.
• Added a new azure_logs_ingestion sink that supports the Azure Monitor Logs Ingestion API. The existing azure_monitor_logs sink is now deprecated, and users should migrate before Microsoft ends support for the old Data Collector API (currently scheduled for September 2026).

Breaking Changes

• The datadog_logs sink now defaults to zstd compression. You can explicitly set compression to preserve previous behavior.
