+ Text Panel: The text panel does no longer by default allow unsantizied
HTML. This means that if you have text panels with scripts tags they will no
longer work as before. To enable unsafe javascript execution in text panels
enable the settings disable_sanitize_html under the section [panels] in your
Grafana ini file, or set env variable GF_PANELS_DISABLE_SANITIZE_HTML=true.
+ Dashboard: Panel property minSpan replaced by maxPerRow. Dashboard
migration will automatically migrate all dashboard panels using the minSpan
property to the new maxPerRow property
+ Internal Metrics Edition has been added to the build_info metric. This will break any Graphite queries using this metric. Edition will be a new label for the Prometheus metric.
