You can't make an omelet without cracking some eggs. We have our eyes set on version 1 and a backlog of breaking changes we wanted to merge before we reach it. Version 0.7.0 is our attempt to cluster as many breaking changes as we can into a single release.

Breaking Changes
Merge existing `tcp` and `udp` sources into a single `socket` source
We've simplified our socket based sources into a single `socket` sourceRename existing `tcp` sink to `socket` sink
This renames the existing `tcp` sink to `socket`Sink options have been refactored
We've simplified and organized our sink optionsUse comma delim server list in `kafka` sink
This change achieve consistency with our `kafka` source and other Kafka clientsRename `line` field to `message` in `splunk_hec` source
This change ensures the `splunk_hec` source conforms to Vector's schemaThe `splunk_hec` sink does not index fields by default
This gives you full control over which fields are indexedNew Features
