Grafana v6.7 brings new features, many enhancements and bug fixes. - [What’s new in Grafana v6.7](https://grafana.com/docs/guides/whats-new-in-v6-7/) - [Download](https://grafana.com/grafana/download/6.7.0) Grafana v6.7 comes with a lot of new features and enhancements: ## Breaking changes - **Slack** : Removed _Mention_ setting and instead introduce _Mention Users_, _Mention Groups_, and _Mention Channel_. The first two settings require user and group IDs, respectively. This change was necessary because the way of mentioning via the Slack API [changed](https://api.slack.com/changelog/2017-09-the-one-about-usernames) and mentions in Slack notifications no longer worked. - **Alerting** : Reverts the behavior of `diff` and `percent_diff` to not always be absolute. Something we introduced by mistake in [6.1.0](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/commit/28eaac3a9c7082e8c496005c1cb66b4b70a4f82f). Alerting now support `diff()`, `diff_abs()`, `percent_diff()` and `percent_diff_abs()`. [#21338](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/21338) ### Notice about 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`. 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: ```auto backendSrv.get(‘http://your.url/api’).then(result => { this.result = result; this.$scope.$digest(); }); ``` You can test your plugin with the `master` branch version of Grafana. # 6.7.6 (2021-03-18) ### Bug fixes - **Security** : Fix API permissions issues related to team-sync CVE-2021-28147.
