Release v2.0.0-beta3 / 2025-05-27

And we are back. At long last, welcome to Trickster 2.0 Beta 3! Finally! 🎉

Trickster is now better than ever and even faster. 🚀

This release is the result of a massive, monthslong overhaul, upgrade and modernization of the entire Trickster project. We've eliminated over 70 data race conditions, a bunch of panics and a few deadlocks; sped up literally everything through refactors; and improved compatibility with InfluxDB and ClickHouse - all while adding dozens of new features. The What's New in Trickster 2.0 page has an exhaustive list of all the stuff we've crammed into Beta 3. We also have refreshed the roadmap, so you can see where things are headed over the course of the year.

We'd love for you to please check out the docs, try out Beta3 and report any issues you find. On that note, welcome to new contributors @trumant and @tonychoe.

Finally, a very special shoutout to maintainer @crandles for dedicating countless nights and weekends to get this release across the finish line. 🙏

Release v1.1.2 / 2020-06-06

Special thanks to @mdaguete for identifying and providing a patch for this issue!

Release v1.0.5 / 2020-06-06

This release addresses a bug with InfluxDB acceleration where multiple result sets (e.g., from a query with multiple, distinct select statements concatenated with ;) were being truncated (#459). This update is recommended for all InfluxDB users.

Release v1.1.1 / 2020-06-04

This release addresses a few things to fix up our new v1.1. Thanks to the early adopters who helped track these down and make it even better!

Here's what we've changed:

• Fix a panic that occurs when an HTTP Request for Fast Forward data returns an error to Trickster. #452
• Fix HTTP/2, which was returning an a Protocol Error due to a regression #455
• We have removed the test tls static certs files from the project repo, and have replaced them with a dynamic test solution. That way, our contributors don't have all those unusable certs lying around on their hard drive. Nice!
• There were a couple of areas where HTTP POST requests were not fully working in Prometheus and InfluxDB, but we've got you covered now. ClickHouse users, stay tuned for POST support very soon!
• A few performance improvements and additional unit tests

Release v1.1.0 / 2020-06-02

Welcome to Trickster 1.1.0. This is the fastest, leanest and most feature-rich version ever! Read about all the cool new features in Trickster v1.1 here.

We hope you enjoy, and stay tuned later this quarter for v1.2 with even more new stuff to enhance your cloud native stacks.

Release v1.0.4 / 2020-05-22

[BUGFIX] Type conversion panic #433

Other improvements, specifically in cache size calculation accuracy for memory and bbolt caches (#438), and an update to go v1.14.
