 * A gRPC server that listens for SSF spans and dogstatsd metrics on grpc_listening_addresses. Thanks [eriwo-stripe](https://github.com/eriwo-stripe) and [shrivu-stripe](https://github.com/shrivu-stripe)!
 * The ability to emit metrics from veneur-emit via the gRPC protocol as well as the option to specify a proxy for those metrics. Thanks [eriwo-stripe](https://github.com/eriwo-stripe) and [shrivu-stripe](https://github.com/shrivu-stripe)!
 * The "veneur.listen.received_per_protocol_total" metric to be published by global Veneur instances. This is a counter to track the metrics being directly listened for (rather than imported) by protocol. Thanks, [eriwo-stripe](https://github.com/eriwo-stripe)!
+* A fix for forwarding metrics with gRPC using the kubernetes discoverer. Thanks, [androohan](https://github.com/androohan)!
