## Custom data units

A top feature request for years is now finally here. All panels now support custom units. Just specify any text in the

unit picker and select the `Custom: <your unit>` option. By default it will be used as a suffix unit. If you want a
|

custom prefix just 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`.

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 are introducing 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

## Explore: Context tooltip
|

|
||||
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.

## 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.
