  • 🔒 This version introduces support for Elasticsearch 8 and includes multiple library dependency upgrades to address security vulnerabilities.

    Important

    🚀 Starting with this release, Cortex supports only Elasticsearch 8.x.
    ⬆️ If you are currently using an earlier version of Elasticsearch, you must upgrade Elasticsearch and Cortex at the same time.

    Elasticsearch 8 compatibility

    👍 Cortex now supports Elasticsearch 8.x as its index engine.

    👍 Due to architectural constraints, Cortex cannot support multiple major versions of Elasticsearch simultaneously. Therefore, Elasticsearch 7.x and earlier versions are no longer supported.

    ⬆️ Dependency upgrades

    ⚡️ Several library dependencies have been updated to remediate known vulnerabilities and improve overall stability.

    Minor bug fix

    🛠 Fixed an issue related to the docker analyzer images existence check, performed when this analyzer is launched.
