Fixing interop issue with fluentbit due to Retain_Metadata_In_Forward_Mode flag default value (true) from fluentbit version 5.0.5 #5568

Closed

Description

@ryan65

Hi
I understand that a fix was done for fluentd to restore interopability issues with fluentbit related to timestamp and metadata parsing.
This is required since fluentbit changed the default Retain_Metadata_In_Forward_Mode flag from false to true .
I understand that a pr was merged into master branch #5411
When will it be release ? and if not , can this pr be merged into a new patch version.
Thanks.

Describe the solution you'd like

give estimate date for release 1.20

Describe alternatives you've considered

create patch with fix.

    If we don't find any issues that would block the release, we plan to release it this week.
