- Deprecate non‑true/all values for the stats query parameter on /api/v1/query and /api/v1/query_range, now returning a warning and slated for removal in the next major release.
- PromQL updates: enable duration expressions by default, promote first_over_time to stable, and introduce experimental start‑timestamp functions and OCI compute service discovery.
- UI enhancements (copy button, syntax highlighting for duration expressions), performance boosts (regex matcher, remote read/write, TSDB queries), and numerous bug fixes across TSDB, discovery, scrape, and remote write.
