Breaking changes
When parsing Elasticsearch query responses using template variables, each field gets named after the variable value instead of the name. For example, executing a terms aggregation on a variable named $groupBy that has @hostname as a value, the resulting column in the table response will be @hostname instead of $groupBy Issue #36035
Azure Monitor data source no longer supports different credentials for Metrics and Logs in existing data sources. To use different credentials for Azure Monitor Logs, create another data source. Issue #35121
Existing Azure Metrics Logs queries for Log Analytics Workspaces should be backward compatible with this change and should not get impacted. Panels will be migrated to use the new resource-centric backend when you first edit and save them.
Application Insights and Insights Analytics queries are now read-only and cannot be modified. To update Application Insights queries, users can manually recreate them as Metrics queries, and Insights Analytics are recreated with Logs.

Breaking changes
Constant variables
In order to minimize the confusion with Constant variable usage, we've removed the ability to make Constant variables visible. This change will also migrate all existing visible Constant variables to Textbox variables because which we think this is a more appropriate type of variable for this use case. Issue #29407
Plugin compatibility
We have upgraded AngularJS from version 1.6.6 to 1.8.2. Due to this upgrade some old angular plugins might stop working and will require a small update. This is due to the deprecation and removal of pre-assigned bindings. So if your custom angular controllers expect component bindings in the controller constructor you need to move this code to an $onInit function. For more details on how to migrate AngularJS code open the migration guide and search for pre-assigning bindings.
In order not to break all angular panel plugins and data sources we have some custom angular inject behavior that makes sure that bindings for these controllers are still set before constructor is called so many old angular panels and data source plugins will still work. Issue #28736
Deprecations
Query variable value group tags
This option to group query variable values into groups by tags has been an experimental feature since it was introduced. It was introduced to work around the lack of tags support in time series databases at the time. Now that tags (ie. labels) are the norm there is no longer any great need for this feature. This feature will be removed in Grafana v8 later this year. Issue #30160
