+
+### New alert notification channels
+
+This release adds **five** new alert notifications channels, all of them contributed by the community.
+
+* Hipchat
+* Telegram
+* LINE
+* Pushover
+* Threema
+
+### Templating
+
+We added two new global built in variables in grafana. `$__interval` and `$__interval_ms` are now reserved template names in grafana and can be used by any datasource.
+We might add more global built in variables in the future and if we do we will prefix them with `$__`. So please avoid using that in your template variables.
+
+### Dedupe alert notifications when running multiple servers
+
+In this release we will dedupe alert notificiations when you are running multiple servers.
+This makes it possible to run alerting on multiple servers and only get one notification.
+
+We currently solve this with sql transactions which puts some limitations for how many servers you can use to execute the same rules.
+3-5 servers should not be a problem but as always, it depends on how many alerts you have and how frequently they execute.
+
+Next up for a better HA situation is to add support for workload balancing between Grafana servers.
+
+### Alerting more info
+
+You can now see the reason why an alert triggered in the alert history. Its also easier to detect when an alert is set to `alerting` due to the `no_data` option.
+
+### Improved support for multi-org setup
+
+When loading dashboards we now set an query parameter called orgId. So we can detect from which org an user shared a dashboard.
+This makes it possible for users to share dashboards between orgs without changing org first.
+
+We aim to introduce [dashboard groups](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/1611) sometime in the future which will introduce access control and user groups within one org.
+Making it possible to have users in multiple groups and have detailed access control.
+
+## Upgrade & Breaking changes
+
+If your using https in grafana we now force you to use tls 1.2 and the most secure ciphers.
+We think its better to be secure by default rather then making it configurable.
+If you want to run https with lower versions of tls we suggest you put a reserve proxy in front of grafana.
+
+If you have template variables name `$__interval` or `$__interval_ms` they will no longer work since these keywords
+are reserved as global built in variables. We might add more global built in variables in the future and if we do, we will prefix them with `$__`. So please avoid using that in your template variables.
