Summary

Beats 1.0.0-rc2, the last release candidate before the general availability of Beats 1.0.0, has been announced with minor bug fixes, clean-ups, and enhancements. Notable changes include the transition from exporting "shipper" to "beat.name" for clarity, and the addition of "beat.hostname," requiring updates to Beats dashboards. Filebeat no longer exports the "line" field due to performance issues, recommending the use of the "offset" field instead. Compatibility-breaking changes are noted in the release notes of Topbeat, Packetbeat, and Filebeat. The development team encourages beta testers to download, test, and provide feedback to expedite the official release.
