-# 0.4.0 (unreleased)
+# 0.4.0 (2019-10-24)
+
+A **huge** thanks to the **36 contributors** who submitted **148 PR's** since 0.3.0!
+
+## Notable Changes
+
+* With PR [654](https://github.com/grafana/loki/pull/654) @cyriltovena added a really exciting new capability to Loki, a Prometheus compatible API with support for running metric style queries against your logs! [Take a look at how to write metric queries for logs](https://github.com/grafana/loki/blob/master/docs/logql.md#counting-logs)
+    > PLEASE NOTE: To use metric style queries in the current Grafana release 6.4.x you will need to add Loki as a Prometheus datasource in addition to having it as a Log datasource and you will have to select the correct source for querying logs vs metrics, coming soon Grafana will support both logs and metric queries directly to the Loki datasource!
+* PR [1022](https://github.com/grafana/loki/pull/1022) (and a few others) @joe-elliott added a new set of HTTP endpoints in conjunction with the work @cyriltovena to create a Prometheus compatible API as well as improve how labels/timestamps are handled
+    > IMPORTANT: The new `/api/v1/*` endpoints contain breaking changes on the query paths (push path is unchanged) Eventually the `/api/prom/*` endpoints will be removed
+* PR [847](https://github.com/grafana/loki/pull/847) owes a big thanks to @cosmo0920 for contributing his Fluent Bit go plugin, now loki has Fluent Bit plugin support!!
+
+* PR [982](https://github.com/grafana/loki/pull/982) was a couple weeks of painstaking work by @rfratto for a much needed improvement to Loki's docs! [Check them out!](https://github.com/grafana/loki/tree/master/docs) 
+
+* PR [980](https://github.com/grafana/loki/pull/980) by @sh0rez improved how flags and config file's are loaded to honor a more traditional order of precedence:
+    1. Defaults
+    2. Config file
+    3. User-supplied flag values (command line arguments)
+    > PLEASE NOTE: This is potentially a breaking change if you were passing command line arguments that also existed in a config file in which case the order they are given priority now has changed!
+  
+* PR [1062](https://github.com/grafana/loki/pull/1062) and [1089](https://github.com/grafana/loki/pull/1089) have moved Loki from Dep to Go Modules and to Go 1.13
