 * [CHANGE] Experimental TSDB: Modified default values for `compactor.deletion-delay` option from 48h to 12h and `-experimental.tsdb.bucket-store.ignore-deletion-marks-delay` from 24h to 6h. #2414
 * [CHANGE] Experimental WAL: Default value of `-ingester.checkpoint-enabled` changed to `true`. #2416
 * [CHANGE] `trace_id` field in log files has been renamed to `traceID`. #2518
+* [CHANGE] Slow query log has a different output now. Previously used `url` field has been replaced with `host` and `path`, and query parameters are logged as individual log fields with `qs_` prefix. #2520
 * [FEATURE] Ruler: The `-ruler.evaluation-delay` flag was added to allow users to configure a default evaluation delay for all rules in cortex. The default value is 0 which is the current behavior. #2423
 * [ENHANCEMENT] Experimental TSDB: sample ingestion errors are now reported via existing `cortex_discarded_samples_total` metric. #2370
 * [ENHANCEMENT] Failures on samples at distributors and ingesters return the first validation error as opposed to the last. #2383
