This changelog is intended for community Beat developers. It covers the major breaking changes to the internal APIs in the official Beats and changes related to developing a Beat like code generators or fields.yml. Only the major changes will be covered in this changelog that are expected to affect community developers. Each breaking change added here should have an explanation on how other Beats should be migrated.

Note: This changelog documents the current changes which are not yet present in an actual release.
