 ### Release Notes
 
+- net_response and http_response plugins timeouts will now accept duration
+strings, ie, "2s" or "500ms".
 - Input plugin Gathers will no longer be logged by default, but a Gather for
 _each_ plugin will be logged in Debug mode.
 - Debug mode will no longer print every point added to the accumulator. This
