There are some breaking changes in the annotations HTTP API for region annotations. Region annotations are now represented
using a single event instead of two seperate events. Check breaking changes in HTTP API [below](#http-api) and [HTTP API documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/http_api/annotations/) for more details.
### Docker
Grafana is now using Alpine 3.10 as docker base image.
### HTTP API
-`GET /api/alert-notifications` now requires at least editor access. New `/api/alert-notifications/lookup` returns less information than `/api/alert-notifications` and can be access by any authenticated user.
-`GET /api/alert-notifiers` now requires at least editor access
-`GET /api/org/users` now requires org admin role. New `/api/org/users/lookup` returns less information than `/api/org/users` and can be access by users that are org admins, admin in any folder or admin of any team.
-`GET /api/annotations` no longer returns `regionId` property.
-`POST /api/annotations` no longer supports `isRegion` property.
-`PUT /api/annotations/:id` no longer supports `isRegion` property.
-`PATCH /api/annotations/:id` no longer supports `isRegion` property.
-`DELETE /api/annotations/region/:id` has been removed.
## Deprecation notes
### PhantomJS
[PhantomJS](https://phantomjs.org/), which is used for rendering images of dashboards and panels, is deprecated and will be removed in a future Grafana release. A deprecation warning will from now on be logged when Grafana starts up if PhantomJS is in use.
Please consider migrating from PhantomJS to the [Grafana Image Renderer plugin](https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/grafana-image-renderer).

Grafana v5.0 is going to be the biggest and most foundational release Grafana has ever had, coming with a ton of UX improvements, a new dashboard grid engine, dashboard folders, user teams and permissions. Checkout out this [video preview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Izr0IBgoTZQ) of Grafana v5.
- **Persistent dashboard url's**: New url's for dashboards that allows renaming dashboards without breaking links. [#7883](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/7883)
The new grid engine is a major upgrade for how you can position and move panels. It enables new layouts and a much easier dashboard building experience. The change is backward compatible. So you can upgrade your current version to 5.0 without breaking dashboards, but you cannot downgrade from 5.0 to previous versions. Grafana will automatically upgrade your dashboards to the new schema and position panels to match your existing layout. There might be minor differences in panel height. If you upgrade to 5.0 and for some reason want to rollback to the previous version you can restore dashboards to previous versions using dashboard history. But that should only be seen as an emergency solution.
Dashboard panels and rows are positioned using a gridPos object `{x: 0, y: 0, w: 24, h: 5}`. Units are in grid dimensions (24 columns, 1 height unit 30px). Rows and Panels objects exist (together) in a flat array directly on the dashboard root object. Rows are not needed for layouts anymore and are mainly there for backward compatibility. Some panel plugins that do not respect their panel height might require an update.

Systemjs is still used to load plugins but now plugins can only import a limited set of dependencies. See [PLUGIN_DEV.md](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/master/PLUGIN_DEV.md) for more details on how this can effect some plugins.
* **Graphite**: Fix for issues with jsonData & graphiteVersion null errors [#9258](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/9258)
* **Graphite**: Fix for Grafana internal metrics to Graphite sending NaN values [#9279](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/9279)

* **MySQL**: New rich query editor with syntax highlighting
* **Prometheus**: New rich query editor with syntax highlighting, metric & range auto complete and integrated function docs. [#5117](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/5117)

New Functions: mapSeries, reduceSeries, isNonNull, groupByNodes, offsetToZero, grep, weightedAverage, removeEmptySeries, aggregateLine, averageOutsidePercentile, delay, exponentialMovingAverage, fallbackSeries, integralByInterval, interpolate, invert, linearRegression, movingMin, movingMax, movingSum, multiplySeriesWithWildcards, pow, powSeries, removeBetweenPercentile, squareRoot, timeSlice, closes [#8261](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/8261)
- **Elasticsearch**: Ad-hoc filters now use query phrase match filters instead of term filters, works on non keyword/raw fields [#9095](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/9095).
* **InfluxDB/Elasticsearch**: The panel & data source option named "Group by time interval" is now named "Min time interval" and does now always define a lower limit for the auto group by time. Without having to use `>` prefix (that prefix still works). This should in theory have close to zero actual impact on existing dashboards. It does mean that if you used this setting to define a hard group by time interval of, say "1d", if you zoomed to a time range wide enough the time range could increase above the "1d" range as the setting is now always considered a lower limit.
* **Elasticsearch**: Elasticsearch metric queries without date histogram now return table formatted data making table panel much easier to use for this use case. Should not break/change existing dashboards with stock panels but external panel plugins can be affected.
* **InfluxDB**: Change time range filter for absolute time ranges to be inclusive instead of exclusive [#8319](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/8319), thx [@Oxydros](https://github.com/Oxydros)

* **MySQL/Postgres**: Fix for max_idle_conn option default which was wrongly set to zero which does not mean unlimited but means zero, which in practice kind of disables connection pooling, which is not good. Fixes [#8513](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/8513)
* **Search**: Fix for issue that caused search view to hide when you clicked starred or tags filters, fixes [#8981](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/8981)
* **GrafanaDB(mysql)**: Fix for dashboard_version.data column type, now changed to MEDIUMTEXT, fixes [#8813](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/8813)
* **Dashboard(settings)**: Closing setting views using ESC key did not update url correctly, fixes [#8869](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/8869)

- maxDataPoints must be an integer #184 (thanks @frejsoya for fixing this)
For people who are find Grafana slow for large time spans or high resolution metrics. This is most likely due to graphite returning a large number of datapoints. The maxDataPoints parameter solves this issue. For maxDataPoints to work you need to run the latest graphite-web (some builds of 0.9.12 does not include this feature).
-#44 Annotations! Required a lot of work to get right. Read wiki article for more info. Supported annotations data sources are graphite metrics and graphite events. Support for more will be added in the future!

### Fixes:
-#94 Fix for bug that caused dashboard settings to sometimes not contain timepicker tab.
-#110 Graph with many many metrics caused legend to push down graph editor below screen. You can now scroll in edit mode & full screen mode for graphs with lots of series & legends.
-#104 Improvement to graphite target editor, select wildcard now gives you a "select metric" link for the next node.
-#105 Added zero as a possible node value in groupByAlias function
