- **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 formated 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.

Started using Typescript (transpiled to ES5), uncompiled typescript files and less files are in public folder (in source tree)
This folder is never modified by build steps. Compiled css and javascript files are put in public_gen, all other files
that do not undergo transformation are just copied from public to public_gen, it is public_gen that is used by grafana-server
if it is found.
Grunt & Watch tasks:
-`grunt` : default task, will remove public_gen, copy over all files from public, do less & typescript compilation
-`grunt watch`: will watch for changes to less, and typescript files and compile them to public_gen, and for other files it will just copy them to public_gen

- [Issue #1438](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/1438). OpenTSDB: Automatic downsample interval passed to OpenTSDB (depends on timespan and graph width)
- NOTICE, Downsampling is now enabled by default, so if you have not picked a downsample aggregator in your metric query do so or your graphs will be missleading
- This will make Grafana a lot quicker for OpenTSDB users when viewing large time spans without having to change the downsample interval manually.

- [Issue #613](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/613). Templating: Full support for InfluxDB, filter by part of series names, extract series substrings, nested queries, multipe where clauses!
- Template variables can be initialized from url, with var-my_varname=value, breaking change, before it was just my_varname.
- Templating and url state sync has some issues that are not solved for this release, see [Issue #772](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/772) for more details.
- If you used custom condition filter you need to open the graph in edit mode, the editor will update the schema, and the queries should work again
- If you used a raw query you need to remove the time filter and replace it with $timeFilter (this is done automatically when you switch from query editor to raw query, but old raw queries needs to updated)
- [Issue #756](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/756). InfluxDB: Add option for fill(0) and fill(null), integrated help in editor for why this option is important when stacking series
- [Issue #743](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/743). InfluxDB: A group by time option for all queries in graph panel that supports a low limit for auto group by time, very important for stacking and fill(0)

- 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!
-#35 Support for multiple graphite servers! (Read wiki article for more)
-#116 Back to dashboard link in top menu to easily exist full screen / edit mode.

-#77 Improvements and polish to the light theme
### Changes
-#98 Stack is no longer by default turned on in graph display settings.
- Hide controls (Ctrl+h) now hides the sub menu row (where filtering, and annotations are). So if you had filtering enabled and hide controls enabled you will not see the filtering sub menu.
### 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.

-#105 Added zero as a possible node value in groupByAlias function
