If you prefer the old behavior where unfilled area was not shown and the value followed directly after, you have to update the visualization settings.

After feedback from our community, we have decided to reintroduce a labels column. However, for better readability and usefulness, we have transformed it into Unique labels column and include only non-common labels, as all common labels are displayed above.

Isolating a series from a big set of lines in a graph is important for drill-downs. That's why we have implemented context tooltip in Explore that allows interaction to copy data and labels from it to further refine the query.

## Enterprise APT and YUM repositories
Now you can install the enterprise edition from the APT and YUM repository. The following table shows the APT repository for each Grafana version (for instructions read the [installation notes]({{< relref "../installation/debian/#install-from-apt-repository" >}})) :
| Grafana Version | Package | Repository |
|-----------------|---------|------------|
| Grafana OSS | grafana | `https://packages.grafana.com/oss/deb stable main` |
| Grafana OSS (Beta) | grafana | `https://packages.grafana.com/oss/deb beta main` |
| Grafana Enterprise | grafana-enterprise | `https://packages.grafana.com/enterprise/deb stable main` |
| Grafana Enterprise (Beta) | grafana-enterprise | `https://packages.grafana.com/enterprise/deb beta main` |
The following table shows the YUM repositories for each Grafana version (for instructions read the [installation notes]({{< relref "../installation/rpm/#install-from-yum-repository" >}})) :
| Grafana Version | Package | Repository |
|----------------------------|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------|
| Grafana OSS | grafana | `https://packages.grafana.com/oss/rpm` |
| Grafana OSS (Beta) | grafana | `https://packages.grafana.com/oss/rpm-beta` |
| Grafana Enterprise | grafana-enterprise | `https://packages.grafana.com/enterprise/rpm` |
| Grafana Enterprise (Beta) | grafana-enterprise | `https://packages.grafana.com/enterprise/rpm-beta` |
We recommend all users to install the Enterprise Edition of Grafana, which can be seamlessly upgraded with a Grafana Enterprise [subscription](https://grafana.com/products/enterprise/?utm_source=grafana-install-page).
## Stackdriver: Meta labels
From now on it will be possible to utilize meta data label in group bys, filters and in the alias field. Unfortunaltey there's no API to retrieve all the labels, but the group by field dropdown comes with a pre-defined list of common system labels. User labels cannot be pre-defined, but it's possible to enter them manually in the group by field. If a meta data label, user label or system label, is included in the group by segment, it will be possible to create filters based on it and to expand its value on the alias field.

## CloudWatch: Display partial result in graph when max data points per call limit is reached
In case all queries in a GMD call are metric stat (not using math expressions), grafana will paginate the response until all data points are received. But pagination is not supported in case a math expression is being used, so in that case it's not possible to receive more than 100,800 data points. Previously when that limit was reached, we only displayed an error message. In Grafana 6.6, we also display the 100,800 data point that were received in the graph.

## Notice about upcoming changes in backendSrv for plugin authors
In our mission to migrate away from AngularJS to React we have removed all AngularJS dependencies in the core data retrieval service `backendSrv`. This change is already in master and will be introduced in the next `major` Grafana release.
Removing the AngularJS dependencies in `backendSrv` has the unfortunate side effect of AngularJS digest no longer being triggered for any request made with `backendSrv`. Because of this, external plugins using `backendSrv` directly may suffer from strange behaviour in the UI.
To remedy this issue as a plugin author you need to trigger the digest after a direct call to `backendSrv`.
Example:
```js
backendSrv.get(‘http://your.url/api’).then(result => {
this.result = result;
this.$scope.$digest();
});
```
