The backward incompatible changes are fairly small, but they do exist, so if your code accesses the raw monaco-objects through the `grafana-ui` package, please check the and apply any necessary changes. Issue The mandatory `css` prop in `grafana/ui` components has been removed. Previous versions of `grafana/ui` components were typed incorrectly due to a dependency mismatch between emotion 10 and 11 causing a `css` prop to be added to components that extended react types. Issue Grafana v8.2 fixed an issue with org isolation for notification configuration but to fix this Grafana will now re-run the migration from old alerting and this will cause complete removal of all new alert rules and notification configurations. This data loss is not something we find acceptable and are working on ways to mitigate it. So in the meantime, if you are an early adopter of unified alerting please wait with trying v8.2 beta. Issue Panel queries and/or annotation queries that used more than one statistic will be converted into one query/annotation per statistic. In case an alerting rule was based on a query row that had more than one statistic, it would now be based only on the first statistic for that query row. New alerting rules will not be created for migrated queries. Please note that in most cases it would not make sense to have an alerting rule that is based on multiple statistics anyway. Issue `getHighlighterExpressions` in datasource APIs ( used to highlight logs while editing queries) has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. `ExploreQueryFieldProps` interface for query editors has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use `QueryEditorProps` instead. Issue Grafana UI: Fix TS error property `css` is missing in type. ,
