prometheus/CHANGELOG.md

## 0.12.0 / 2015-03-04
* [CHANGE] Use client_golang v0.3.1. THIS CHANGES FINGERPRINTING AND INVALIDATES
  ALL PERSISTED FINGERPRINTS. You have to wipe your storage to use this or
  later versions. There is a version guard in place that will prevent you to
  run Prometheus with the stored data of an older Prometheus.
* [BUGFIX] The change above fixes a weakness in the fingerprinting algorithm.
* [ENHANCEMENT] The change above makes fingerprinting faster and less allocation
  intensive.
* [FEATURE] OR operator and vector matching options. See docs for details.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Scientific notation and special float values (Inf, NaN) now
  supported by the expression language.
* [CHANGE] Dockerfile makes Prometheus use the Docker volume to store data
  (rather than /tmp/metrics).
* [CHANGE] Makefile uses Go 1.4.2.

## 0.11.1 / 2015-02-27
* [BUGFIX] Make series maintenance complete again. (Ever since 0.9.0rc4,
  or commit 0851945, series would not be archived, chunk descriptors would
  not be evicted, and stale head chunks would never be closed. This happened
  due to accidental deletion of a line calling a (well tested :) function.
* [BUGFIX] Do not double count head chunks read from checkpoint on startup.
  Also fix a related but less severe bug in counting chunk descriptors.
* [BUGFIX] Check last time in head chunk for head chunk timeout, not first.
* [CHANGE] Update vendoring due to vendoring changes in client_golang.
* [CLEANUP] Code cleanups.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Limit the number of 'dirty' series counted during checkpointing.
  
## 0.11.0 / 2015-02-23
* [FEATURE] Introduce new metric type Histogram with server-side aggregation.
* [FEATURE] Add offset operator.
* [FEATURE] Add floor, ceil and round functions.
* [CHANGE] Change instance identifiers to be host:port.
* [CHANGE] Dependency management and vendoring changed/improved.
* [CHANGE] Flag name changes to create consistency between various Prometheus
  binaries.
* [CHANGE] Show unlimited number of metrics in autocomplete.
* [CHANGE] Add query timeout.
* [CHANGE] Remove labels on persist error counter.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Various performance improvements for sample ingestion.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Various Makefile improvements.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Various console template improvements, including
  proof-of-concept for federation via console templates.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Fix graph JS glitches and simplify graphing code.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Dramatically decrease resources for file embedding.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Crash recovery saves lost series data in 'orphaned' directory.
* [BUGFIX] Fix aggregation grouping key calculation.
* [BUGFIX] Fix Go download path for various architectures.
* [BUGFIX] Fixed the link of the Travis build status image.
* [BUGFIX] Fix Rickshaw/D3 version mismatch.
* [CLEANUP] Various code cleanups.

## 0.10.0 / 2015-01-26
* [CHANGE] More efficient JSON result format in query API. This requires
  up-to-date versions of PromDash and prometheus_cli, too.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Excluded non-minified Bootstrap assets and the Bootstrap maps
  from embedding into the binary. Those files are only used for debugging,
  and then you can use -web.use-local-assets. By including fewer files, the
  RAM usage during compilation is much more manageable.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Help link points to http://prometheus.github.io now.
* [FEATURE] Consoles for haproxy and cloudwatch.
* [BUGFIX] Several fixes to graphs in consoles.
* [CLEANUP] Removed a file size check that did not check anything.

## 0.9.0 / 2015-01-23
* [CHANGE] Reworked command line flags, now more consistent and taking into
  account needs of the new storage backend (see below).
* [CHANGE] Metric names are dropped after certain transformations.
* [CHANGE] Changed partitioning of summary metrics exported by Prometheus.
* [CHANGE] Got rid of Gerrit as a review tool.
* [CHANGE] 'Tabular' view now the default (rather than 'Graph') to avoid
  running very expensive queries accidentally.
* [CHANGE] On-disk format for stored samples changed. For upgrading, you have
  to nuke your old files completely. See "Complete rewrite of the storage
* [CHANGE] Removed 2nd argument from `delta`.
* [FEATURE] Added a `deriv` function.
* [FEATURE] Console templates.
* [FEATURE] Added `absent` function.
* [FEATURE] Allow omitting the metric name in queries.
* [BUGFIX] Removed all known race conditions.
* [BUGFIX] Metric mutations now handled correctly in all cases.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Proper double-start protection.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Complete rewrite of the storage layer. Benefits include:
  * Better query performance.
  * More samples in less RAM.
  * Better memory management.
  * Scales up to millions of time series and thousands of samples ingested
    per second.
  * Purging of obsolete samples much cleaner now, up to completely
    "forgetting" obsolete time series.
  * Proper instrumentation to diagnose the storage layer with... well...
    Prometheus.
  * Pure Go implementation, no need for cgo and shared C libraries anymore.
  * Better concurrency.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Copy-on-write semantics in the AST layer.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Switched from Go 1.3 to Go 1.4.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Vendored external dependencies with godeps.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Numerous Web UI improvements, moved to Bootstrap3 and
  Rickshaw 1.5.1.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Improved Docker integration.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Simplified the Makefile contraption.
* [CLEANUP] Put meta-data files into proper shape (LICENSE, README.md etc.)
* [CLEANUP] Removed all legitimate 'go vet' and 'golint' warnings.
* [CLEANUP] Removed dead code.

## 0.7.0 / 2014-08-06

* [FEATURE] Template consoles now have access to their URL.
* [BUGFIX] Fixed time() function to return evaluation time, not wallclock time.
* [BUGFIX] Fixed HTTP connection leak when targets returned a non-200 status.
* [BUGFIX] Fixed link to console templates in UI.
* [PERFORMANCE] Removed extra memory copies while scraping targets.
* [ENHANCEMENT] Switched from Go 1.2.1 to Go 1.3.

* [BUGFIX] Fix for a deadlock race condition in the memory storage.
* [BUGFIX] Mac OS X build fixed.
