Observability Project Updates
summary
Prometheus ships 6‑week minor releases, with native histograms stable (v3.8) and feature flag no‑op (v3.9), PromQL gains like joins, field modifiers, anchored and smoothed rate, and new timestamp/math/range functions plus metric type/unit filtering. Prometheus now writes OTLP directly into TSDB with label caching, four translation strategies, configurable resource‑attribute→label mapping, delta→cumulative conversion and experimental native delta ingestion; roadmap items include native delta support, single‑sample histograms/summaries, OpenMetrics redesign, a metadata model for resource attributes, PromQL variables/pipe syntax, and Parquet adoption. Community adds governance, code owners, and booth 12A.
