Hi users!

We have released v1.7.4. ChangeLog is here. This release is mainly for fixing bugs.

in_http: Add `use_204_response` parameter

This change follows RFC7231. For zero-length payload, 204 is better than 200.

<source>
  @type http
  # other parameters
  use_204_response true
</source>

This parameter will be removed at fluentd v2 and in_http will return 204.

Major bug fixes

child_process helper: fix stderr blocking for discard case
log: Fix log rotation handling on Windows. This changes log filename. See https://docs.fluentd.org/deployment/logging#log-rotation-setting

Enjoy logging!
