- [ENHANCEMENT] Add LabelName regular expression.
- [BUGFIX] Ensure alignment of struct members for 32-bit systems.
- [BUGFIX] Removed a weakness in the fingerprinting aka signature code. This makes fingerprinting slower and more allocation-heavy, but the weakness was too severe to be tolerated.
- [CHANGE] As a result of the above, Metric.Fingerprint is now returning a different fingerprint. To keep the same fingerprint, the new method Metric.FastFingerprint was introduced, which will be used by the Prometheus server for storage purposes (implying that a collision detection has to be added, too).
- [ENHANCEMENT] The Metric.Equal and Metric.Before do not depend on fingerprinting anymore, removing the possibility of an undetected fingerprint collision.
- [FEATURE] The Go collector in the exposition library includes garbage collection stats.

- [CLEANUP] Added licenses of vendored code left out by godep.
- [ENHANCEMENT] Switched fingerprinting functions from own free list to sync.Pool.
- [CHANGE] Makefile uses Go 1.4.2 now (only relevant for examples and tests).
- [CHANGE] Changed the fingerprinting for metrics. THIS WILL INVALIDATE ALL PERSISTED FINGERPRINTS. IF YOU COMPILE THE PROMETHEUS SERVER WITH THIS VERSION, YOU HAVE TO WIPE THE PREVIOUSLY CREATED STORAGE.
- [CHANGE] LabelValuesToSignature removed. (Nobody had used it, and it was arguably broken.)
- [CHANGE] Vendored dependencies. Those are only used by the Makefile. If client_golang is used as a library, the vendoring will stay out of your way.
- [BUGFIX] Remove a weakness in the fingerprinting for metrics. (This made the fingerprinting change above necessary.)
- [FEATURE] Added new fingerprinting functions SignatureForLabels and SignatureWithoutLabels to be used by the Prometheus server. These functions require fewer allocations than the ones currently used by the server.
- [FEATURE] Introduce new Histagram metric type.
- [CHANGE] Ignore process collector errors for now (better error handling pending).
- [CHANGE] Use clear error interface for process pidFn.
- [BUGFIX] Fix Go download links for several archs and OSes.
- [ENHANCEMENT] Massively improve Gauge and Counter performance.
- [ENHANCEMENT] Catch illegal label names for summaries in histograms.
- [ENHANCEMENT] Reduce allocations during fingerprinting.

- [CLEANUP] Mark slow test as such and exclude them from travis.
- [CLEANUP] Update protobuf library package name.
- [CLEANUP] Updated vendoring of beorn7/perks.
- [CLEANUP] Introduced semantic versioning and changelog. From now on, changes will be reported in this file.
