Unreleased

1.19.0 / 2023-02-27

The module prometheus/common v0.48.0 introduced an incompatibility when used together with client_golang (See #1448 for more details). If your project uses client_golang and you want to use prometheus/common v0.48.0 or higher, please update client_golang to v1.19.0.

[CHANGE] Minimum required go version is now 1.20 (we also test client_golang against new 1.22 version). #1445 #1449

[ENHANCEMENT] Improved performance of MetricVec.WithLabelValues(...). #1360

1.17.0 / 2023-09-27

[CHANGE] Minimum required go version is now 1.19 (we also test client_golang against new 1.21 version). #1325
[FEATURE] Add support for Created Timestamps in Counters, Summaries and Historams. #1313
[ENHANCEMENT] Enable detection of a native histogram without observations. #1314

1.16.0 / 2023-06-15

causing panics. #1253

[BUGFIX] Fix issue with atomic variables on ppc64le. #1171

[BUGFIX] Fixed GopherJS build support. #897

- go_gc_heap_allocs_by_size_bytes_total -> go_gc_heap_allocs_by_size_bytes,
- go_gc_heap_frees_by_size_bytes_total -> go_gc_heap_allocs_by_size_bytes

0.8.0 / 2016-08-17

[CHANGE] Registry is doing more consistency checks. This might break existing setups that used to export inconsistent metrics.
[CHANGE] Pushing to Pushgateway moved to package push and changed to allow arbitrary grouping.
[CHANGE] Removed SelfCollector.
[CHANGE] Removed PanicOnCollectError and EnableCollectChecks methods.
[CHANGE] Moved packages to the prometheus/common repo: text, model, extraction.
[CHANGE] Deprecated a number of functions.
[FEATURE] Allow custom registries. Added Registerer and Gatherer interfaces.
[FEATURE] Separated HTTP exposition, allowing custom HTTP handlers (package promhttp) and enabling the creation of other exposition mechanisms.
[FEATURE] MustRegister is variadic now, allowing registration of many collectors in one call.
[FEATURE] Added HTTP API v1 package.
[ENHANCEMENT] Numerous documentation improvements.
[ENHANCEMENT] Improved metric sorting.
[ENHANCEMENT] Inlined fnv64a hashing for improved performance.
[ENHANCEMENT] Several test improvements.
[BUGFIX] Handle collisions in MetricVec.

0.7.0 / 2015-07-27

[CHANGE] Rename ExporterLabelPrefix to ExportedLabelPrefix.
[BUGFIX] Closed gaps in metric consistency check.
[BUGFIX] Validate LabelName/LabelSet on JSON unmarshaling.
[ENHANCEMENT] Document the possibility to create "empty" metrics in a metric vector.
[ENHANCEMENT] Fix and clarify various doc comments and the README.md.
[ENHANCEMENT] (Kind of) solve "The Proxy Problem" of http.InstrumentHandler.
[ENHANCEMENT] Change responseWriterDelegator.written to int64.

0.6.0 / 2015-06-01

[CHANGE] Rename process_goroutines to go_goroutines.
[ENHANCEMENT] Validate label names during YAML decoding.
[ENHANCEMENT] Add LabelName regular expression.
[BUGFIX] Ensure alignment of struct members for 32-bit systems.

0.5.0 / 2015-05-06

[BUGFIX] Removed a weakness in the fingerprinting aka signature code. This makes fingerprinting slower and more allocation-heavy, but the weakness was too severe to be tolerated.
[CHANGE] As a result of the above, Metric.Fingerprint is now returning a different fingerprint. To keep the same fingerprint, the new method Metric.FastFingerprint was introduced, which will be used by the Prometheus server for storage purposes (implying that a collision detection has to be added, too).
[ENHANCEMENT] The Metric.Equal and Metric.Before do not depend on fingerprinting anymore, removing the possibility of an undetected fingerprint collision.
[FEATURE] The Go collector in the exposition library includes garbage collection stats.
[FEATURE] The exposition library allows to create constant "throw-away" summaries and histograms.
[CHANGE] A number of new reserved labels and prefixes.

0.4.0 / 2015-04-08

[CHANGE] Return NaN when Summaries have no observations yet.
[BUGFIX] Properly handle Summary decay upon Write().
[BUGFIX] Fix the documentation link to the consumption library.
[FEATURE] Allow the metric family injection hook to merge with existing metric families.
[ENHANCEMENT] Removed cgo dependency and conditional compilation of procfs.
[MAINTENANCE] Adjusted to changes in matttproud/golang_protobuf_extensions.

0.3.2 / 2015-03-11

[BUGFIX] Fixed the receiver type of COWMetric.Set(). This method is only used by the Prometheus server internally.
[CLEANUP] Added licenses of vendored code left out by godep.

0.3.1 / 2015-03-04

[ENHANCEMENT] Switched fingerprinting functions from own free list to sync.Pool.
[CHANGE] Makefile uses Go 1.4.2 now (only relevant for examples and tests).

0.3.0 / 2015-03-03

[CHANGE] Changed the fingerprinting for metrics. THIS WILL INVALIDATE ALL PERSISTED FINGERPRINTS. IF YOU COMPILE THE PROMETHEUS SERVER WITH THIS VERSION, YOU HAVE TO WIPE THE PREVIOUSLY CREATED STORAGE.
[CHANGE] LabelValuesToSignature removed. (Nobody had used it, and it was arguably broken.)
[CHANGE] Vendored dependencies. Those are only used by the Makefile. If client_golang is used as a library, the vendoring will stay out of your way.
[BUGFIX] Remove a weakness in the fingerprinting for metrics. (This made the fingerprinting change above necessary.)
[FEATURE] Added new fingerprinting functions SignatureForLabels and SignatureWithoutLabels to be used by the Prometheus server. These functions require fewer allocations than the ones currently used by the server.

0.2.0 / 2015-02-23

[FEATURE] Introduce new Histagram metric type.
[CHANGE] Ignore process collector errors for now (better error handling pending).
[CHANGE] Use clear error interface for process pidFn.
[BUGFIX] Fix Go download links for several archs and OSes.
[ENHANCEMENT] Massively improve Gauge and Counter performance.
[ENHANCEMENT] Catch illegal label names for summaries in histograms.
[ENHANCEMENT] Reduce allocations during fingerprinting.
[ENHANCEMENT] Remove cgo dependency. procfs package will only be included if both cgo is available and the build is for an OS with procfs.
[CLEANUP] Clean up code style issues.
[CLEANUP] Mark slow test as such and exclude them from travis.
[CLEANUP] Update protobuf library package name.
[CLEANUP] Updated vendoring of beorn7/perks.

0.1.0 / 2015-02-02

[CLEANUP] Introduced semantic versioning and changelog. From now on, changes will be reported in this file.
