- Introduced several experimental features: search API endpoints, new PromQL min_of/max_of functions, smoothed/anchored rate, per‑query samplesRead stats, and TSDB chunk encoding options.
- Boosted performance and stability with faster case‑insensitive regex matching, reduced TSDB overhead and heap allocations, many PromQL/TSDB bug fixes, and added GHCR publishing for container images.
