Release Notes
prometheus/prometheus (docker.io/prom/prometheus)
v3.13.0: 3.13.0 / 2026-07-01
This is a Long Term Support LTS release.
- [SECURITY] UI: Bump
sanitize-htmlto fix a cross-site scripting vulnerability (CVE-2026-44990). #18697 - [CHANGE] UI: Third-party npm dependency licenses are now embedded in the Prometheus binary and served at
/assets/third-party-licenses.txt, replacing thenpm_licenses.tar.bz2archive previously shipped in release tarballs and container images. #18997 - [CHANGE] API: Use SHA-256 instead of SHA-1 to generate rule group pagination tokens. #18927
- [CHANGE] HTTP clients: Credentials (Authorization header, basic auth, bearer token, OAuth2, configured headers) are no longer forwarded when following a redirect to a different host; affects scraping, remote read/write, alerting, and service discovery. Via prometheus/common v0.69.0 (CVE-2025-4673 CVE-2023-45289). #18949
- [CHANGE] promtool: Relative file paths in the file passed to
--http.config.fileare now resolved relative to that config file's directory instead of its parent directory. Via prometheus/common v0.69.0. #18949 - [CHANGE] PromQL: Rename the
min()andmax()duration-expression functions (experimental feature flagexperimental-duration-expr) tomin_of()andmax_of()to avoid confusion with theminandmaxaggregate operators. #18687 - [FEATURE] API: Add experimental search endpoints to search metric names, label names, and label values. #18573
- [FEATURE] Discovery/AWS: Add ability to filter RDS instances. #18859
- [FEATURE] PromQL: Add
min_of(a, b)andmax_of(a, b)scalar experimental functions, returning the smaller or larger of two scalar values. #18687 - [FEATURE] PromQL: Add support for smoothed/anchored rate with native histograms. #18564
- [FEATURE] PromQL: Expose per-query
samplesRead(andsamplesReadPerStepwithstats=alland thepromql-per-step-statsfeature flag) in the query stats response, and add theprometheus_engine_query_samples_read_totalengine counter.samplesReadreflects storage I/O distinct fromtotalQueryableSamples, which counts samples loaded into the evaluator (and so over-counts when a sample is reused across multiple range-vector windows). #18081 - [FEATURE] Scrape: Add
__convert_classic_histograms_to_nhcb__internal label to allow per-target override ofconvert_classic_histograms_to_nhcbscrape configuration via relabeling. #18840 - [FEATURE] TSDB: Add
storage.tsdb.chunk_encoding.floatsconfiguration field to select float chunk encoding (xororxor2) at runtime, independently of the--enable-feature=xor2-encodingflag. #18769 - [FEATURE] remote_write: Add Certificate support for ingesting data into an Azure Monitor Workspace. #18217
- [FEATURE] Scrape: Add
__always_scrape_classic_histograms__and__scrape_native_histograms__internal labels to allow per-target override of thealways_scrape_classic_histogramsandscrape_native_histogramsscrape configuration via relabeling. #18929 - [ENHANCEMENT] Release: Container images are now also published to the GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io). #18791
- [ENHANCEMENT] PromQL: Prettify
fill_left(x) fill_right(x)asfill(x)when both fill values are equal. #18851 - [ENHANCEMENT] UI: Improve autocompletion after closing a function bracket. #18894
- [PERF] Labels: Add case-insensitive prefix matching to speed up evaluation of long case-insensitive regular expressions (up to ~2x faster). #18540
- [PERF] TSDB: Reduce per-sample overhead in chunk population, speeding up affected queries by ~12-15% in benchmarks. #18699
- [PERF] TSDB: Eliminate unnecessary heap allocations in the V2 histogram WAL decoder, reducing allocations by up to 50% and memory by up to 10% for deployments using native histograms with created-timestamp storage enabled (
--enable-feature=created-timestamp-zero-ingestion). #18813 - [BUGFIX] Discovery/AWS: Fix failure when processing an AWS RDS cluster without instances. #18845
- [BUGFIX] Fix race condition in initTime that could cause ErrOutOfBounds. #18629
- [BUGFIX] PromQL: A range query whose
endwas not aligned tostepcaused subqueries inside it to evaluate past the parent's last actual step, inflatingpeakSamplesin the query stats and against thequery.max-sampleslimit, and wasting storage I/O reading samples that were never used in the result. #18081 - [BUGFIX] PromQL: A range query containing an at-modifier-unsafe function over a range-vector with an
@modifier (e.g.predict_linear(metric[60s] @​ T, X)) silently under-countedtotalQueryableSamplesfor steps after step 0. #18081 - [BUGFIX] PromQL: Fix
fill_left/fill_rightproducing missing samples in range queries when usinggroup_left/group_right. #18850 - [BUGFIX] PromQL: Fix for resets() and changes() in anchored range extenders with histograms. #18906
- [BUGFIX] PromQL: Fix panic on
1[5m] smoothedand similar expressions when extended range selectors are enabled. #18764 - [BUGFIX] PromQL: Fix panic when a
smoothedinstant vector selector produces no samples for a series. #18943 - [BUGFIX] PromQL: Fix panic when using a parenthesised plain number as an offset (e.g.
foo offset -(5)). #18768 - [BUGFIX] promtool: Fix panic when parsing exposition text containing empty braces
{}. Via prometheus/common v0.69.0. #18949 - [BUGFIX] Promtool: Fix
check healthyandcheck readywhen--urlends with a trailing slash. #18854 - [BUGFIX] Rules: Close PromQL query after each rule evaluation to ensure resources are released. #18733
- [BUGFIX] Scaleway SD: Resolve VPC/IPAM-only instances that have no legacy
private_iporpublic_ipfield, but do have private NICs attached. #18772 - [BUGFIX] TSDB: Do not leak head series when an integer histogram append is rejected (e.g. out-of-order). #18838
- [BUGFIX] UI: Escape label values offered by PromQL autocomplete. #18658
- [BUGFIX] TSDB: Fix chunk snapshot encoding for EncXOR2 chunks, preventing corruption on TSDB restart when EncXOR2-encoded series were present. #18739
- [BUGFIX] TSDB: Store a millisecond timestamp (not a WAL segment number) in walExpiries when a series is evicted via CompactStaleHead/CompactSelectedSeries, so the series's label record is correctly retained in the next WAL checkpoint and replays cleanly. #18847
- [BUGFIX] TSDB: Prevent loss of samples at the chunk-range boundary when CompactSelectedSeries (and CompactStaleHead) evict the series — the per-slice compaction loop now runs one more iteration so the boundary timestamp is captured in a block before the in-memory copy is removed. #18849
