Read the relevant upgrade guides for specific instructions on upgrading from older versions:

• Static mode upgrade guide
• Static mode Kubernetes operator upgrade guide
• Flow mode upgrade guide

Changes:

Bugfixes

• loki.source.podlogs: Fixed a bug which prevented clustering from working and caused duplicate logs to be sent. The bug only happened when no selector or namespace_selector blocks were specified in the Agent configuration. (@ptodev)

• pyroscope.scrape no longer tries to scrape endpoints which are not active targets anymore. (@wildum @mattdurham @dehaansa @ptodev)

Enhancements

• Upgrade github.com/goccy/go-json to v0.10.4, which reduces the memory consumption of an Agent instance by 20MB. If Agent is running certain otelcol components, this reduction will not apply. (@ptodev)

Other changes

• Remove setcap for cap_net_bind_service to allow Agent to run in restricted environments. Modern container runtimes allow binding to unprivileged ports as non-root. (@ptodev)

• Update to go 1.22.11 (@wildum)
