Logstash 5.0.0-alpha5 has been [released](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elastic-stack-release-5-0-0-alpha5/57612) yesterday with a good deal of new features. The Monitoring API has been [cleaned up a bit](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/5607) and [a few more fixes](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/5732) are in the pipe.
Also as [announced previously](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/announcement-new-release-of-logstashbeat/54504/2?u=val), this release includes the handling of some additional fields, namely:
- `matches`, `failures`, `patterns_per_field` for the `grok` filter
- `matches` and `formats` for the `date` filter

The next release will include additional fields for some specific logstash input, like `jdbc`, `tcp`, `redis`, etc. Stay tuned...
