 features:
   - |
     Introduced a new configuration variable `logs_config.http_protocol`, allowing users to enforce HTTP/1.1 for outgoing HTTP connections in the Datadog Agent. This provides better control over transport protocols and improves compatibility with systems that do not support HTTP/2.
-    By default, the log agent will now attempt to use HTTP/2 and fall back to the best available protocol if HTTP/2 is not supported.
