v1.4.1

This is release v1.4.1 of Loki.

Important Notes

Please read the Important Notes section for v1.4.0

Mostly be sure to check out the upgrading page, everything for 1.4.0 applies to 1.4.1

Notable changes:

We realized after the release last week that piping data into promtail was not working on Linux or Windows, this should fix this issue for both platforms:

• 1893 cyriltovena: Removes file size check for pipe, not provided by linux.

Also thanks to @dottedmag for providing this fix for Fluent Bit!

• 1890 dottedmag: fluentbit: JSON encoding: avoid base64 encoding of []byte inside other slices
