    🆕 New features

    • Issue #1623. Share Dashboard: Dashboard snapshot sharing (dash and data snapshot), save to local or save to public snapshot dashboard snapshots.raintank.io site

    • Issue #1255. Templating: Dashboard will now wait to load until all template variables that have refresh on load set or are initialized via url to be fully loaded and so all variables are in valid state before panels start issuing metric requests.

    🛠 Fixes

    • Issue #1298. InfluxDB: Fix handling of empty array in templating variable query
    • 🛠 Issue #1309. Graph: Fixed issue when using zero as a grid threshold
    • 💻 Issue #1345. UI: Fixed position of confirm modal when scrolled down
    • Issue #1372. Graphite: Fix for nested complex queries, where a query references a query that references another query (ie the #[A-Z] syntax)
    • Issue #1363. Templating: Fix to allow custom template variables to contain white space, now only splits on ','
    • Issue #1359. Graph: Fix for all series tooltip showing series with all null values when Hide Empty option is enabled
    • 🛠 Issue #1497. Dashboard: Fixed memory leak when switching dashboards

    🔄 Changes

    • Dashboard title change & save will no longer create a new dashboard, it will just change the title.

    OpenTSDB breaking change

    • Issue #1438. OpenTSDB: Automatic downsample interval passed to OpenTSDB (depends on timespan and graph width)
    • 0️⃣ NOTICE, Downsampling is now enabled by default, so if you have not picked a downsample aggregator in your metric query do so or your graphs will be misleading
    • This will make Grafana a lot quicker for OpenTSDB users when viewing large time spans without having to change the downsample interval manually.

    Tech

    • ⚡️ Issue #1311. Tech: Updated Font-Awesome from 3.2 to 4.2
