prometheus/CHANGELOG.md

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] Update vendoring due to vendoring changes in client_golang.
• [CLEANUP] Code cleanups.
• [ENHANCEMENT] Limit the number of 'dirty' series counted during checkpointing.

• [ENHANCEMENT] Fix graph JS glitches and simplify graphing code.
• [ENHANCEMENT] Dramatically decrease resources for file embedding.

• [CLEANUP] Various code cleanups.

0.10.0 / 2015-01-26

• [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 http://prometheus.github.io now.
• [FEATURE] Consoles for haproxy and cloudwatch.
• [BUGFIX] Several fixes to graphs in consoles.
• [CLEANUP] Removed a file size check that did not check anything.

0.9.0 / 2015-01-23

• [CHANGE] Reworked command line flags, now more consistent and taking into account needs of the new storage backend (see below).
• [CHANGE] Metric names are dropped after certain transformations.
• [CHANGE] Changed partitioning of summary metrics exported by Prometheus.
• [CHANGE] Got rid of Gerrit as a review tool.
• [CHANGE] 'Tabular' view now the default (rather than 'Graph') to avoid running very expensive queries accidentally.
• [CHANGE] On-disk format for stored samples changed. For upgrading, you have to nuke your old files completely. See "Complete rewrite of the storage
• [CHANGE] Removed 2nd argument from delta.
• [FEATURE] Added a deriv function.
• [FEATURE] Console templates.
• [FEATURE] Added absent function.
• [FEATURE] Allow omitting the metric name in queries.
• [BUGFIX] Removed all known race conditions.
• [BUGFIX] Metric mutations now handled correctly in all cases.
• [ENHANCEMENT] Proper double-start protection.
• [ENHANCEMENT] Complete rewrite of the storage layer. Benefits include:
  • Better query performance.
  • More samples in less RAM.
  • Better memory management.
  • Scales up to millions of time series and thousands of samples ingested per second.
  • Purging of obsolete samples much cleaner now, up to completely "forgetting" obsolete time series.
  • Proper instrumentation to diagnose the storage layer with... well... Prometheus.
  • Pure Go implementation, no need for cgo and shared C libraries anymore.
  • Better concurrency.
• [ENHANCEMENT] Copy-on-write semantics in the AST layer.
• [ENHANCEMENT] Switched from Go 1.3 to Go 1.4.
• [ENHANCEMENT] Vendored external dependencies with godeps.
• [ENHANCEMENT] Numerous Web UI improvements, moved to Bootstrap3 and Rickshaw 1.5.1.
• [ENHANCEMENT] Improved Docker integration.
• [ENHANCEMENT] Simplified the Makefile contraption.
• [CLEANUP] Put meta-data files into proper shape (LICENSE, README.md etc.)

• [ENHANCEMENT] Cleanups around shutdown handling.
• [PERFORMANCE] Preparations for better memory reuse during marshalling / unmarshalling.
