## 0.16.1 / 2015-10-16

* [FEATURE] Add `irate()` function.

* [CHANGE] Kubernetes SD moves node label to instance label.
* [BUGFIX] Escape regexes in console templates.

## 0.16.0 / 2015-10-09

BREAKING CHANGES:

* Release tarballs now contain the built binaries in a nested directory.
* The `hash_mod` relabeling action now uses MD5 hashes instead of FNV hashes to
  achieve a better distribution.
* The DNS-SD meta label `__meta_dns_srv_name` was renamed to `__meta_dns_name`
  to reflect support for DNS record types other than `SRV`.
* The default full refresh interval for the file-based service discovery has been
  increased from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
* In relabeling, parts of a source label that weren't matched by
  the specified regular expression are no longer included in the replacement
  output.
* Queries no longer interpolate between two data points. Instead, the resulting
  value will always be the latest value before the evaluation query timestamp.
* Regular expressions supplied via the configuration are now anchored to match
  full strings instead of substrings.
* Global labels are not appended upon storing time series anymore. Instead,
  they are only appended when communicating with external systems
  (Alertmanager, remote storages, federation). They have thus also been renamed
  from `global.labels` to `global.external_labels`.
* The names and units of metrics related to remote storage sample appends have
  been changed.
* The experimental support for writing to InfluxDB has been updated to work
  with InfluxDB 0.9.x. 0.8.x versions of InfluxDB are not supported anymore.
* Escape sequences in double- and single-quoted string literals in rules or query
  expressions are now interpreted like escape sequences in Go string literals
  (https://golang.org/ref/spec#String_literals).

Future breaking changes / deprecated features:

* The `delta()` function had an undocumented optional second boolean argument
  to make it behave like `increase()`. This second argument will be removed in
  the future. Migrate any occurrences of `delta(x, 1)` to use `increase(x)`
  instead.
* Support for filter operators between two scalar values (like `2 > 1`) will be
  removed in the future. These will require a `bool` modifier on the operator,
  e.g.  `2 > bool 1`.

All changes:

* [CHANGE] Renamed `global.labels` to `global.external_labels`.
* [CHANGE] Vendoring is now done via govendor instead of godep.
* [CHANGE] Change web UI root page to show the graphing interface instead of
  the server status page.
* [CHANGE] Append global labels only when communicating with external systems
  instead of storing them locally.
* [CHANGE] Change all regexes in the configuration to do full-string matches
  instead of substring matches.
* [CHANGE] Remove interpolation of vector values in queries.
* [CHANGE] For alert `SUMMARY`/`DESCRIPTION` template fields, cast the alert
  value to `float64` to work with common templating functions.
* [CHANGE] In relabeling, don't include unmatched source label parts in the
  replacement.
* [CHANGE] Change default full refresh interval for the file-based service
  discovery from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
* [CHANGE] Rename the DNS-SD meta label `__meta_dns_srv_name` to
  `__meta_dns_name` to reflect support for other record types than `SRV`.
* [CHANGE] Release tarballs now contain the binaries in a nested directory.

## 0.11.1 / 2015-02-27
