Prometheus 3.4.0-rc.0 is available

[Jan-Otto Kröpke]

Hello!

We are pleased to announce that Prometheus 3.4 has entered its release lifecycle, bringing a range of changes, enhancements, and bug fixes.

This release includes two behavior changes and four new features:

[CHANGE] Config: Make setting out-of-order native histograms feature (--enable-feature=ooo-native-histograms) a no-op. Out-of-order native histograms are now always enabled when out_of_order_time_window is greater than zero and --enable-feature=native-histograms is set. #16207
[FEATURE] OTLP translate: Add feature flag for optionally translating OTel explicit bucket histograms into native histograms with custom buckets. #15850
[FEATURE] OTLP translate: Add option to receive OTLP metrics without translating names or attributes. #16441
[FEATURE] PromQL: allow arithmetic operations in durations in PromQL parser. #16249
[FEATURE] OTLP receiver: Add primitive support for ingesting OTLP delta metrics as-is. #16360


Please try out the release candidate on a non-critical environment and
let us know what you find.
