+# Fluentd v1.14.5 has been released
+
+Hi users!
+
+We have released v1.14.5. ChangeLog is [here](https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v1145).
+
+This release is a maintenance release of v1.14 series.
+
+### `in_http`: Add support for "application/x-ndjson"
+
+In this release, `in_http` supports the new Content-Type "application/x-ndjson".
+Its format is "ndjson", which is basically a list of JSON objects separated by "\n".
+
+Here is an example of the format.
+
+```json
+{"foo": "bar"}
+{"buz": "hoge"}
+```
+
+See [#3616](https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/pull/3616) for more information.
+
+### Add support for the UCRT binary for Windows RubyInstaller 3.1
+
+RubyInstaller 3.1 has switched C-Runtime from MSVCRT to UCRT, and the ruby and
+gem platform has changed to `x64-mingw-ucrt`.
+There was a problem in this environment that Windows-specific dependent gems
+could not be installed because Fluentd for this architecture had not been released.
+
+Beginning with this release, Fluentd for this architecture is also released
+and this problem is solved.
+
+See [#3613](https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/pull/3613) for more information.
+
+### `out_forward`: Fix hang-up issue during TLS handshake
+
+There was a known issue the TLS handshake takes a long time or hangs when
+`out_forward` uses TLS transport, even though `connect_timeout` is specified.
+
+With this release, `connect_timeout` is now reliably applied to TLS transport
+and able to prevent hangs.
+
+See [#3601](https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/pull/3601) for more information.
+
+### Miscellaneous fixes
+
+* Fix a bug of retrying once when `retry_max_times` is `0`. [#3608](https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/pull/3608)
+* Fix "invalid byte sequence is replaced" warning not to write out invalid characters. [#3596](https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/pull/3596)
+* Bump up required ServerEngine to v2.2.5. [#3599](https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/pull/3599)
+
+Enjoy logging!
