=== Breaking changes in 7.0
19+
20+
This section discusses the main changes that you should be aware of if you
21+
upgrade the Beats to version 7.0. {see-relnotes}
22+

24+
==== HTML escaping is disabled by default
25+
26+
Starting with verion 7.0, embedded HTML or special symbols like `<` and `>` are
27+
no longer escaped by default when publishing events.
28+
To configure the old behavior of escaping HTML, set `escape_html:
29+
true` in the output configuration.
30+
31+

33+
==== Filebeat registry
34+
35+
Starting with version 7.0, Filebeat stores the registry in a sub-directory.
36+
The directory is configured using the `filebeat.registry.path` setting.
37+
If Filebeat finds an old registry file at the configured location, it will
38+
automatically migrate the registry file to the new format.
39+
40+
The settings `filebeat.registry_flush` and `filebeat.registry_file_permission`
41+
have been renamed to `filebeat.registry.flush` and
42+
`filebeat.registry.file_permission`.

==== ILM support
48+
49+
Support for Index Lifecycle Management is GA with Beats version 7.0. This
50+
release moved most ILM settings from the `output.elasticsearch.ilm` namespace to
51+
the `setup.ilm` namespace.
