-Loki a horizontally-scalable, highly-available, multi-tenant log aggregation system inspired by Prometheus. It is designed to be very cost effective, as it does not index the contents of the logs, but rather a set of labels for each log stream. The logs from Loki are queried in a similar way to querying with label selectors in Prometheus. It uses labels to group log streams which can be made to match up with your Prometheus labels.

The UX for editing a panel has gotten an update and the major feature is being able to easily switch visualization using the new Visualization option. This means you can quickly switch from a Graph visualization to a Table visualization or any other visualization without having to create a new panel.
