fluent-package v5.0.3 has been released

Hi users!

We have released fluent-package v5.0.3. fluent-package is a stable distribution package of Fluentd. (successor of td-agent v4)

This is a maintenance release of v5.0.x LTS series. As significant slow starting service and crash issues during startup on Windows were fixed, we recommend upgrading to fluent-package v5.0.3!

• Update fluentd to 1.16.5. See the following blog articles about details.
  • Fluentd v1.16.4 has been released

• Update bundled plugins

• msi: fixed wrong environment path for Fluent Package Prompt (#606)
  • It breaks fluent-diagtool behavior to launch fluent-gem correctly.
• msi: removed unnecessary path delimiter (#607)
  • It doesn't cause any problem yet, but it should treat %~dp0 correctly.
• rpm: fixed to take over enabled state of systemd service from td-agent v4 (#613)
• deb rpm: fixed to quote target files correctly not to cause migration failures (#615)
• msi: added a patch for RubyInstaller to avoid crash on start up (#620)

About next LTS schedule

We plan to ship next LTS version of fluent-package v5.0.4 on June, 2024. The content of updates are still in T.B.D.

End of support for td-agent v4, let's migrate to fluent-package

As it was already announced Drop schedule announcement about EOL of Treasure Agent (td-agent) 4, td-agent v4 was reached EOL in Dec, 2023.

After reached EOL, td-agent v4.5.3 on Windows was released because there was a crash bug during startup on Windows. It was backported fix from fluent-package v5 as it is critical in some case. Even though this was a exceptional maintenance release, but there is no change to the fact that we already stopped maintaining td-agent v4.

We strongly recommend migrating from td-agent v4 to fluent-package v5 (LTS). See Upgrade to fluent-package v5
