performance. Before you upgrade, review the breaking changes, then mitigate the
impact to your application.

* Add support for running as a pre-existing user when installing in unprivileged mode, with technical preview support for pre-existing Windows Active Directory users. {agent-pull}5988[#5988] {agent-issue}4585[#4585]
* Add a new custom link:https://github.com/elastic/integrations/tree/main/packages/filestream)[Filestream logs integration].
