v1.89.0

Released at 2023-03-12

Another option is to upgrade to v1.89.1.

SECURITY: upgrade Go builder from Go1.20.1 to Go1.20.2. See the list of issues addressed in Go1.20.2.
FEATURE: vmctl: increase the default value for --remote-read-http-timeout command-line option from 30s (30 seconds) to 5m (5 minutes). This reduces the probability of timeout errors when migrating big number of time series. See this pull request.
FEATURE: vmctl: migrate series one-by-one in vm-native mode. This allows better tracking the migration progress and resuming the migration process from the last migrated time series. See this pull request and this feature request.
FEATURE: vmctl: add --vm-native-src-headers and --vm-native-dst-headers command-line flags, which can be used for setting custom HTTP headers during vm-native migration mode. Thanks to @baconmania for the pull request.
FEATURE: vmctl: add --vm-native-src-bearer-token and --vm-native-dst-bearer-token command-line flags, which can be used for setting Bearer token headers for the source and the destination storage during vm-native migration mode. See this feature request.
FEATURE: vmctl: add --vm-native-disable-http-keep-alive command-line flag to allow vmctl to use non-persistent HTTP connections in vm-native migration mode. Thanks to @baconmania for the pull request.
FEATURE: vmalert: log number of configration files found for each specified -rule command-line flag.
FEATURE: vmalert enterprise: concurrently read config files from S3, GCS or S3-compatible object storage. This significantly improves config load speed for cases when there are thousands of files to read from the object storage.
BUGFIX: vmstorage: fix a bug, which could lead to incomplete or empty results for heavy queries selecting tens of thousands of time series. See this pull request.
BUGFIX: vmselect: reduce memory usage and CPU usage when performing heavy queries. See this issue.
BUGFIX: prevent from possible invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference panic during background merge. The issue has been introduced at v1.85.0. See this issue.
BUGFIX: prevent from possible SIGBUS crash on ARM architectures (Raspberry Pi), which deny unaligned access to 8-byte words. Thanks to @oliverpool for narrowing down the issue and for the initial attempt to fix it.
BUGFIX: VictoriaMetrics cluster: always return is_partial: true in partial responses. Previously partial responses could be returned as non-partial in some cases.
BUGFIX: VictoriaMetrics cluster: properly take into account -rpc.disableCompression command-line flag at vmstorage. It was ignored since v1.78.0. See this pull request.
BUGFIX: vmagent: fix panic when writing data to Kafka. The panic has been introduced in v1.88.0.
BUGFIX: vmui: stop showing Please enter a valid Query and execute it error message on the first load of vmui.
BUGFIX: vmui: properly process Run in VMUI button click in VictoriaMetrics datasource plugin for Grafana.
BUGFIX: vmui: fix the display of the selected value for dropdowns on Explore page.
BUGFIX: vmui: do not send step param for instant queries. See this issue.
BUGFIX: vmauth: fix cannot serve http panic when plain HTTP request is sent to vmauth configured to accept requests over proxy protocol-encoded request (e.g. when vmauth runs with -httpListenAddr.useProxyProtocol command-line flag). The issue has been introduced at v1.87.0 when implementing this feature.
BUGFIX: vmgateway: properly parse RSA public key discovered via JWK endpoint.
