Breaking changes

• Dashboards from v2.6 are fully compatible; no manual updates should be necessary. There could
  be some edge case scenarios where dashboards using templating could stop working.
  If that is the case just enter the edit view for the template variable and hit Update button.
  This is due to a simplification of the variable format system where template variables are
  now stored without any formatting (glob/regex/etc), this is done on the fly when the
  variable is interpolated.
• Plugin API: The plugin API has changed so if you are using a custom
  data source (or panel) they need to be updated as well.
• InfluxDB 0.8: This data source is no longer included in releases,
  you can still install manually from Grafana.net
• KairosDB: This data source has also no longer shipped with Grafana,
  you can install it manually from Grafana.net

Breaking changes

Data Source Query Editors: Issue #3900

Query editors have been updated to use the new form styles. External data source plugins needs to be
updated to work. Sorry to introduce breaking change this late in beta phase. We wanted to get this change
in before 3.0 stable is released so we don't have to break data sources in next release (3.1). If you are
a data source plugin author and want help with the new form styles work please ask for help in
slack channel.
