# Fluentd GELF output and formatter plugins
This is a fork of the fluent-plugin-gelf (https://github.com/emsearcy/fluent-plugin-gelf) created in order to publish a gem with the changes contained in pull request #34.  The original pull request #34 will not be used, due to some problems discovered, and will be replaced by three smaller PRs which will implement the same change set, albeit in smaller chunks.
