Hello Everybody,

I am happy to announce that release 0.10.0 of Hawkular Metrics was published on Monday. This is a regular schedule release anchored by bus and performance and stability  enhancements, and container work. This release is not as large as previous ones because of we have a few major updates that will make their way into 0.11.0.

  * Performance improvements (HWKMETRCS-319)

3) Influx Endpoint

3) Improved tag support - to add bulk tag operations and tag queries
4) Improved aggregate downsampling for multiple metrics - the project has now a base with recently added stacking and uniform support; the goal is to expand the aggregation methods
5) Improved integration of Hawkular Metrics and Hawkular Alerts - this will be added the our long term development goals with the initial integration phase part of the release scheduled at the end of November. Keep and eye on both projects and the mailing list for more announcements.
