[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.
[CHANGE] Update InfluxDB write support to work with InfluxDB 0.9.x.

[FEATURE] Add EC2 service discovery support.
[FEATURE] Allow configuring TLS options in scrape configurations.
