## unreleased

## 2.53.0-rc.0 / 2024-06-06

This release changes the default for GOGC, the Go runtime control for the trade-off between excess memory use and CPU usage. We have found that Prometheus operates with minimal additional CPU usage, but greatly reduced memory by adjusting the upstream Go default from 100 to 50.

* [CHANGE] Rules: Execute 1 query instead of N (where N is the number of alerts within alert rule) when restoring alerts. #13980 #14048
* [CHANGE] Runtime: Change GOGC threshold from 100 to 50 #14176
* [FEATURE] Rules: Add new option `query_offset` for each rule group via rule group configuration file and `rule_query_offset` as part of the global configuration to have more resilience for remote write delays. #14061 #14216 #14273
* [ENHANCEMENT] Rules: Add `rule_group_last_restore_duration_seconds` metric to measure the time it takes to restore a rule group. #13974
* [ENHANCEMENT] OTLP: Improve remote write format translation performance by using label set hashes for metric identifiers instead of string based ones. #14006 #13991
* [ENHANCEMENT] TSDB: Optimize querying with regexp matchers. #13620
* [BUGFIX] OTLP: Don't generate target_info unless there are metrics and at least one identifying label is defined. #13991
* [BUGFIX] Scrape: Do no try to ingest native histograms when the native histograms feature is turned off. This happened when protobuf scrape was enabled by for example the created time feature. #13987
* [BUGFIX] Scaleway SD: Use the instance's public IP if no private IP is available as the `__address__` meta label. #13941
* [BUGFIX] Query logger: Do not leak file descriptors on error. #13948
* [BUGFIX] TSDB: Let queries with heavy regex matches be cancelled and not use up the CPU. #14096 #14103 #14118 #14199
* [BUGFIX] API: Do not warn if result count is equal to the limit, only when exceeding the limit for the series, label-names and label-values APIs. #14116
* [BUGFIX] TSDB: Fix head stats and hooks when replaying a corrupted snapshot. #14079

## 2.52.1 / 2024-05-29

## 2.43.0 / 2023-03-21

We are working on some performance improvements in Prometheus, which are only
built into Prometheus when compiling it using the Go tag `stringlabels`
(therefore they are not shipped in the default binaries). It uses a data
structure for labels that uses a single string to hold all the label/values,
resulting in a smaller heap size and some speedups in most cases. We would like
to encourage users who are interested in these improvements to help us measure
the gains on their production architecture. We are providing release artefacts
`2.43.0+stringlabels` and Docker images tagged `v2.43.0-stringlabels` with those
improvements for testing. #10991

## 2.42.0 / 2023-01-31

This release comes with a bunch of feature coverage for native histograms and breaking changes.

If you are trying native histograms already, we recommend you remove the `wal` directory when upgrading.
Because the old WAL record for native histograms is not backward compatible in v2.42.0, this will lead to some data loss for the latest data.

Additionally, if you scrape "float histograms" or use recording rules on native histograms in v2.42.0 (which writes float histograms),
it is a one-way street since older versions do not support float histograms.

## 2.40.0 / 2022-11-08

This release introduces an experimental, native way of representing and storing histograms.

It can be enabled in Prometheus via `--enable-feature=native-histograms` to accept native histograms.
Enabling native histograms will also switch the preferred exposition format to protobuf.

To instrument your application with native histograms, use the `main` branch of `client_golang` (this will change for the final release when v1.14.0 of client_golang will be out), and set the `NativeHistogramBucketFactor` in your `HistogramOpts` (`1.1` is a good starting point).
Your existing histograms won't switch to native histograms until `NativeHistogramBucketFactor` is set.

## 2.35.0 / 2022-04-21

This Prometheus release is built with go1.18, which contains two noticeable changes related to TLS:

1. [TLS 1.0 and 1.1 disabled by default client-side](https://go.dev/doc/go1.18#tls10).
Prometheus users can override this with the `min_version` parameter of [tls_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#tls_config).
2. [Certificates signed with the SHA-1 hash function are rejected](https://go.dev/doc/go1.18#sha1). This doesn't apply to self-signed root certificates.

## 0.16.0 / 2015-10-09

BREAKING CHANGES:

* Release tarballs now contain the built binaries in a nested directory.
* The `hash_mod` relabeling action now uses MD5 hashes instead of FNV hashes to
  achieve a better distribution.
* The DNS-SD meta label `__meta_dns_srv_name` was renamed to `__meta_dns_name`
  to reflect support for DNS record types other than `SRV`.
* The default full refresh interval for the file-based service discovery has been
  increased from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
* In relabeling, parts of a source label that weren't matched by
  the specified regular expression are no longer included in the replacement
  output.
* Queries no longer interpolate between two data points. Instead, the resulting
  value will always be the latest value before the evaluation query timestamp.
* Regular expressions supplied via the configuration are now anchored to match
  full strings instead of substrings.
* Global labels are not appended upon storing time series anymore. Instead,
  they are only appended when communicating with external systems
  (Alertmanager, remote storages, federation). They have thus also been renamed
  from `global.labels` to `global.external_labels`.
* The names and units of metrics related to remote storage sample appends have
  been changed.
* The experimental support for writing to InfluxDB has been updated to work
  with InfluxDB 0.9.x. 0.8.x versions of InfluxDB are not supported anymore.

  expressions are now interpreted like escape sequences in Go string literals
  (<https://golang.org/ref/spec#String_literals>).

Future breaking changes / deprecated features:

* The `delta()` function had an undocumented optional second boolean argument
  to make it behave like `increase()`. This second argument will be removed in
  the future. Migrate any occurrences of `delta(x, 1)` to use `increase(x)`
  instead.
* Support for filter operators between two scalar values (like `2 > 1`) will be
  removed in the future. These will require a `bool` modifier on the operator,
  e.g.  `2 > bool 1`.

All changes:

* [CHANGE] Renamed `global.labels` to `global.external_labels`.
* [CHANGE] Vendoring is now done via govendor instead of godep.
* [CHANGE] Change web UI root page to show the graphing interface instead of
  the server status page.

## 0.12.0 / 2015-03-04

* [CHANGE] Use client_golang v0.3.1. THIS CHANGES FINGERPRINTING AND INVALIDATES
  ALL PERSISTED FINGERPRINTS. You have to wipe your storage to use this or
  later versions. There is a version guard in place that will prevent you to
  run Prometheus with the stored data of an older Prometheus.

* [ENHANCEMENT] The change above makes fingerprinting faster and less allocation
  intensive.
* [FEATURE] OR operator and vector matching options. See docs for details.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Scientific notation and special float values (Inf, NaN) now
  supported by the expression language.

  (rather than /tmp/metrics).
* [CHANGE] Makefile uses Go 1.4.2.

## 0.11.1 / 2015-02-27

* [BUGFIX] Make series maintenance complete again. (Ever since 0.9.0rc4,
  or commit 0851945, series would not be archived, chunk descriptors would
  not be evicted, and stale head chunks would never be closed. This happened
  due to accidental deletion of a line calling a (well tested :) function.
* [BUGFIX] Do not double count head chunks read from checkpoint on startup.
  Also fix a related but less severe bug in counting chunk descriptors.
* [BUGFIX] Check last time in head chunk for head chunk timeout, not first.

* [CHANGE] More efficient JSON result format in query API. This requires
  up-to-date versions of PromDash and prometheus_cli, too.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Excluded non-minified Bootstrap assets and the Bootstrap maps
  from embedding into the binary. Those files are only used for debugging,
  and then you can use -web.use-local-assets. By including fewer files, the
  RAM usage during compilation is much more manageable.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Help link points to <https://prometheus.github.io> now.
* [FEATURE] Consoles for haproxy and cloudwatch.
* [BUGFIX] Several fixes to graphs in consoles.
