This release adds a new panel named `Stat`. This panel is designed to replace the current `Singlestat` as the primary way to show big single number panels along with a sparkline. This panel is of course building on our new panel infrastructure and option design. So you can use the new threshold UI and data links. It also supports the same repeating feature as the Gauge and Bar Gauge panels, meaning it will repeat a separate visualization for every series or row
For the panels Gauge, Bar Gauge, and Stat, you can now leave the min and max settings empty. Grafana will, in that case, calculate the min and max based on all the data.
This panel shows RSS feeds as news items in the default home dashboard for v6.6. Add it to your custom home dashboards to keep up-to-date with Grafana news, or switch the default RSS feed to one of your choice.
A top feature request for years is now finally here. All panels now support custom units. Type any text in the unit picker and select the `Custom: <your unit>` option. By default, the text will be used as a suffix unit. If you want a custom prefix, then type `prefix: <your unit> ` to make the custom unit appear before the value. If you want a custom SI unit (with auto SI suffixes) specify `si:Ups`. A value like 1000 will be rendered as `1 kUps`.
The Bar Gauge visualization has a new display option: `Unfilled`. This new option is enabled by default, so it will change how this visualization is displayed on old dashboards. If you prefer the old behavior where unfilled area was not shown and the value followed directly after, you have to update the visualization settings.
In order to align with a [change in Chrome 80](https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5088147346030592), a breaking change has been introduced to Grafana's [`cookie_samesite` setting]({{< relref "../installation/configuration.md#cookie-samesite" >}}). Grafana now properly renders cookies with the `SameSite=None` attribute when this setting is `none`. The previous behavior of `none` was to omit the `SameSite` attribute from cookies. Grafana will use the previous behavior when `cookie_samesite` is set to `disabled`.
We introduced wrap-lines option for logs, as for some of our users it's more efficient to see one line per log message.The wrapped-line option is set as a default, unwrapped setting results in horizontal scrolling.
## Explore/Logs Panel: Column with unique log labels
After feedback from our community, we have decided to reintroduce a labels column. However, for better readability and usefulness, we have transformed it into Unique labels column and include only non-common labels, as all common labels are displayed above.
Isolating a series from a big set of lines in a graph is important for drill-downs. That's why we have implemented context tooltip in Explore that allows interaction to copy data and labels from it to further refine the query.
From now on it will be possible to utilize meta data label in group bys, filters and in the alias field. Unfortunaltey there's no API to retrieve all the labels, but the group by field dropdown comes with a pre-defined list of common system labels. User labels cannot be pre-defined, but it's possible to enter them manually in the group by field. If a meta data label, user label or system label, is included in the group by segment, it will be possible to create filters based on it and to expand its value on the alias field.

## CloudWatch: Calculate period based on time range
When the period field was left blank in Grafana 6.5, it would default to 60 seconds. In case users issued queries with a large time span, there was a high risk that they would reach the 100,800 data points per request limit in the Get Metric Data (GMD) api. When the period field is left blank in Grafana 6.6, the period will be calculated automatically based on the time range. The formula that is used is `time range in seconds / 2000`, and then we snap to next higher value in an array of pre-defined periods `[60, 300, 900, 3600, 21600, 86400]`. This will reduce the risk for receiving a `Too many datapoints requested` error in the panel.
## CloudWatch: Display partial result in graph when max data points per call limit is reached
In case all queries in a GMD call are metric stat (not using math expressions), grafana will paginate the response until all data points are received. But pagination is not supported in case a math expression is being used, so in that case it's not possible to receive more than 100,800 data points. Previously when that limit was reached, we only displayed an error message. In Grafana 6.6, we also display the 100,800 data point that were received in the graph.
