• Piechart/Flot: Fixes multiple piechart instances with donut bug #15062

Breaking changes

• Text Panel: The text panel does no longer by default allow unsantizied HTML. #4117. 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 #12991

Time for a new major release again!
