 - **Interval calculation**: There is now a new option `Max data points` that controls the auto interval `$__interval` calculation. Interval was previously calculated by dividing the panel width by the time range. With the new max data points option it is now easy to set `$__interval` to a dynamic value that is time range agnostic. For example if you set `Max data points` to 10 Grafana will dyanmically set `$__interval` by dividing the current time range by 10.
 - **Datasource/Loki**: Support for [deprecated Loki endpoints](https://github.com/grafana/loki/blob/master/docs/api.md#lokis-http-api) has been removed.
