Release Notes for v0.7.1#

Release Date: 09/11/2024

Major features in this release are:

• Improvement in performance when dealing with multiple organizations users and preference management.
• Support for nested folders which affects folders, folder permissions, and dashboards. See blog post here
• Regex pattern matching dashboard watched folder (nested folders would require the full path name to match otherwise)

Additionally, api_debug has been introduced. When enabled it will print every request made to grafana as well as the response recieved from the server.

Breaking Changes#

• #289 Config: Connection settings renamed exclude_filters to filters
• Folder Permissions are now saving as uid.json rather than folder name. Nested folder allows for name collisions, using uids should avoid that issue.
• Folder Permissions are now saving as slug of nested folder path rather than folder name. Nested folder allows for name collisions, so foobar/dummy/abcd ==> foobar-dummy-abcd.json
• Config: ignore_dashboard_filters property has been renamed to dashboard_settings.ignore_filters.

Previous behavior:

filter_override:
   ignore_dashboard_filters: true

has been deprecated in favor of

dashboard_settings:
 ignore_filters: true

Changes#

• #171 Nested Folder support added. (Only available in grafana +v11)
• Enterprise config flag removed, future versions will programmatically determine version of grafana.
• #283 Fixing small bug with library connections
• #288 Enterprise: Connection permission will require min. v10.2.3

Bug/Security Fixes#

• dependabot Bump github.com/docker/docker from 25.0.0+incompatible to 25.0.6+incompatible.
• #285 Fixing Security issue
• #283 Small bug with dispalying library connections data
