 ---------
 *Changes expected to improve the state of the world and are unlikely to have negative effects*
 
+* access log: fix `%UPSTREAM_CLUSTER%` when used in http upstream access logs. Previously, it was always logging as an unset value.
 * xray: fix the AWS X-Ray tracer bug where span's error, fault and throttle information was not reported properly as per the `AWS X-Ray documentation <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/latest/devguide/xray-api-segmentdocuments.html>`_. Before this fix, server error was reported under 'annotations' section of the segment data.
 
 Removed Config or Runtime
