- The `.` pattern in regular expressions in PromQL matches newline characters.
With this change a regular expressions like `.*` matches strings that include
`\n`. This applies to matchers in queries and relabel configs. For example the
following regular expressions now match the accompanying strings, wheras in
following regular expressions now match the accompanying strings, whereas in
Prometheus v2 these combinations didn't match.

regular expressions by replacing all `.` patterns with `[^\n]`, e.g.

- Lookback and range selectors are left open and right closed (previously left
closed and right closed). This change affects queries when the evaluation time
perfectly aligns with the sample timestamps. For example assume querying a
timeseries with even spaced samples exactly 1 minute apart. Before Prometheus

to the index format. Consequently a Prometheus v3 tsdb can only be read by a

### `le` and `quantile` label values
In Prometheus v3, the values of the `le` label of classic histograms and the
`quantile` label of summaries are normalized upon ingestions. In Prometheus v2
`quantile` label of summaries are normalized upon ingestion. In Prometheus v2
the value of these labels depended on the scrape protocol (protobuf vs text
format) in some situations. This led to label values changing based on the
scrape protocol. E.g. a metric exposed as `my_classic_hist{le="1"}` would be
