This change fixes a small issue regarding timeouts in the Shipper component in the Receiver - we've accidentally set them too small. Sorry for that!

Changed

• #8920: receive: bump timeouts

The biggest new things in this release are, I think, Receive component's improvements regarding tenant's lifecycle handling, ability to have per endpoint configuration, and showing fanout information in Thanos Query. Thank you to everyone for your contributions!

Fixed

• #8752: Query: Fix exemplar proxy stripping external label matchers in multi-tier query topologies. In Query A → Query B → Sidecar setups, external label matchers are now preserved when forwarding to downstream Query nodes so they can route to the correct stores.
• #8726: *: Bump thanos-community/grpc-go fork to fix CVE-2026-33186 (CVSS 9.1), an authorization bypass via malformed :path headers that could bypass path-based "deny" rules in grpc/authz interceptors.
• #8714: Tracing: Fix tls_config fields (ca_file, cert_file, key_file) being silently ignored when using the OTLP gRPC exporter. Previously, deployments using a private CA or mTLS client certificates had to work around this via OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_CERTIFICATE and related environment variables.
• #8128: Query-Frontend: Fix panic in AnalyzesMerge caused by indexing the wrong slice variable, leading to an out-of-range access when merging more than two query analyses.
• #8720: Receive: Fix 503 errors during restarts in some cases.
• #8762: Query-Frontend: Fix trace ID missing from slow query logs, regression from #8618.
• #8799: *: Set a KeepaliveEnforcementPolicy with MinTime: 10s on all gRPC servers, matching the client keepalive interval.
• #8806: Receive: Validate tenant IDs extracted from split-tenant labels to prevent path traversal.
• #8810: Ruler: correctly pass query partial response for gRPC.

Added

• #8691: Cache: add redis key prefix support
• #8691: query/ui: show fanout information
• #8691: Compactor: remove the directory marker objects for some s3 compatible object stores
• #8730: *: add --grpc-server-tls-ciphers to configure cipher suites for gRPC servers.
• #8730: Receive: add --remote-write.server-tls-ciphers to configure cipher suites for the HTTP server.
• #8770: *: add --grpc-server-tls-curves to configure curves for gRPC servers.
• #8770: Receive: add --remote-write.server-tls-curves to configure curves for the HTTP server.
• #8808: ruler, sidecar: Add TSDB stats endpoint to gRPC server.
• #8797: Receive, Compact, Sidecar: Use os.Root API to confine filesystem access to the service data directory.
• #8594: Query: Support per endpoint TLS configuration.

Changed

• #8670: Receive: breaking ⚠️ removed --shipper.ignore-unequal-block-size. TSDB now delays compaction until blocks have been uploaded by the shipper, allowing compaction while uploading without risking data loss.
• #8802: Cache: add SendToReplicas option while initializing Rueidis client to allow sending read-only requests to Redis replica instances.
• #8839: Store: breaking ⚠️ removed --debug.advertise-compatibility-label. Stores now don't advertise @thanos_compatibility_store_type=store external label by default, breaking compatibility with Thanos Query before v0.8.0.
• #8831: Query-Frontend: change time_taken field to time_taken_ms for consistent JSON output for easier parsing by the log collector.
• #8853: Compactor: remove labels specified as dedup replica labels in hashmod calculation; this fixes a footgun that users could inadvertently hit.
• #8796: queryfrontend: add other params to key

• #8890: block: fix GatherIndexHealthStats postings walk error check to prevent swallowing an error.

v0.42.0-rc.2 - 2026 06 30

RC.2 fixes a few small regressions after introducing the *os.Root API.

This is a good one, among several bug fixes, we have batched Series and Query RPCs now - this should lead to drastic improvements in network bandwidth and decent improvements in CPU/Memory usage of Querier and all its endpoints.

Changes

Fixed

• #8378: Store: fix the reuse of dirty posting slices
• #8558: Query-Frontend: Fix not logging requests when external-prefix is set in query
• #8254 Receive: Endless loop of retried replication with capnproto and distributors
• #8618: Query-Frontend: ensure slow query and stats logging on request failures
• #8480: Store: fix(readerpool): avoid inserting nil LazyBinaryReader on error to avoid panic

Added

• #8623: Query: Enable batching of Series per SeriesResponse.
• #8582: Sidecar: support --storage.tsdb.delay-compact-file.path Prometheus flag.
• #8595: *: add --shipper.upload-compacted flag for controlling upload concurrency in components that use shippper

Changed

• #8630: Receive: breaking ⚠️ shuffle sharding now uses consistent hashing for stability on scale. Existing tenant-to-node assignments will change on upgrade.
• #8555: Promu: re-add Darwin and FreeBSD as release platforms
• #8661: Upgrade Prometheus to v3.8.0. tsdb.enable-native-histograms flag in Receiver and Ruler becomes a no-op and deprecated. Now native histogram ingestion is always enabled.
