+== Bug fixes
+* Before this update, there was a potential conflict when the same name was used for the `outputRefs` and `inputRefs` parameters in the `ClusterLogForwarder` custom resource (CR). As a result, the collector pods entered in a `CrashLoopBackOff` status. With this update, the output labels contain the `OUTPUT_` prefix to ensure a distinction between output labels and pipeline names. (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/LOG-4383[LOG-4383])
+
+* Before this update, while configuring the JSON log parser, if you did not set the `structuredTypeKey` or `structuredTypeName` parameters for the Cluster Logging Operator, no alert would display about an invalid configuration. With this update, the Cluster Logging Operator informs you about the configuration issue. (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/LOG-4441[LOG-4441])
+
+* Before this update, if the `hecToken` key was missing or incorrect in the secret specified for a Splunk output, the validation failed because the Vector forwarded logs to Splunk without a token. With this update, if the `hecToken` key is missing or incorrect, the validation fails with the `A non-empty hecToken entry is required` error message. (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/LOG-4580[LOG-4580])
+
+* Before this update, selecting a date from the `Custom time range` for logs caused an error in the web console. With this update, you can select a date from the time range model in the web console successfully. (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/LOG-4684[LOG-4684])
