Hi users!

We have released v1.16.9 on 2025-05-14. ChangeLog is here.

This release is a maintenance release of v1.16 series. In this release, we have fixed a critical bug of the previous version, v1.16.8. Please do not use v1.16.8.

This release will be bundled for upcoming fluent-package LTS version v5.0.7!

Bug Fixes

Windows: Fix bug where the service accidentally stops after starting

In the previous version v1.16.8, the Windows service (fluentdwinsvc) accidentally stops after starting without stopping the supervisor and worker processes. This is a critical bug of v1.16.8 for users who use Fluentd as a Windows service.

In this release, we have fixed this bug.

See #4954 for more information.

Enjoy logging!
