New Features and improvements

• Support for second optional params for functions like aliasByNode (Issue #167). Read the wiki on the Function Editor for more info.
• More functions added to InfluxDB query editor (Issue #218)
• Filters can now be used inside other filters (templated segments) (Issue #128)

The zip files now contains a sub folder with project name and version suffix. (Issue #209)

Fixes:

• maxDataPoints must be an integer #184 (thanks @frejsoya for fixing this)

For people who are find Grafana slow for large time spans or high resolution metrics. This is most likely due to graphite returning a large number of datapoints. The maxDataPoints parameter solves this issue. For maxDataPoints to work you need to run the latest graphite-web (some builds of 0.9.12 does not include this feature):
