v2.0.0
This release is concentrated on bringing first-class support for MDC and KVP in labels and structured metadata. It took a significant re-design of how label patterns are specified in the config and, thus, required a major version to be incremented. Also, we used this major release as an opportunity to revisit some old decisions regarding the overall configuration structure, and some defaults as well. We tried to put first things first and reduce the noise. Although, the amount of breaking changes in this release is quite significant, following our Migration guide should help you to upgrade smoothly.
