### Breaking changes

Removes support for storing/using datasource `password` and `basicAuthPassword` unencrypted which was [deprecated in Grafana v8.1.0](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/installation/upgrading/#use-of-unencrypted-passwords-for-data-sources-no-longer-supported). Please use `secureJsonData.password` and `secureJsonData.basicAuthPassword`. Issue [#49987](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49987)

Removes the option to instrument HTTP request in Grafana using summaries instead of histograms. Issue [#49985](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49985)

Removes support for deprecated dataproxy.max_idle_connections_per_host setting. Please use max_idle_connections instead. Issue [#49948](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49948)

Removes the deprecated `getFormStyles` function from grafana-ui.
Prefer using `GrafanaTheme2` and the `useStyles2` hook. Issue [#49945](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49945)

The configuration options `auth.login_maximum_inactive_lifetime_days` and `auth.login_maximum_lifetime_days` were deprecated in Grafana v7.2.0 and have now been removed. Use `login_maximum_inactive_lifetime_duration` and `login_maximum_lifetime_duration` to customize the maximum lifetime of a login session. Issue [#49944](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49944)

Removed the deprecated `isFocused` and `isInvalid` props from the `InlineLabel` component. These props haven't done anything for a while, so migration is just a matter of removing the props. Issue [#49929](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49929)

Removed the deprecated `onColorChange` prop from `ColorPicker`. Moving forward the `onChange` prop should be used. Issue [#49923](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49923)

`/api/tsdb/query` API has been removed. Use [/api/ds/query](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/http_api/data_source/#query-a-data-source) instead.
Issue [#49916](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/49916)

`onClipboardCopy` and `onClipboardError` APIs have been changed such that the callback's argument is just the text that's been copied rather than the old `ClipboardEvent` interface.
Migration should just be a matter of going from

```tsx
<ClipboardButton
  {/*other props... */}
  onClipboardCopy={(e) => {
    console.log(`Text "${e.text}" was copied!`);
  }}
/>
```

to

```tsx
<ClipboardButton
  {/* other props... */}
  onClipboardCopy={(copiedText) => {
    console.log(`Text "${copiedText}" was copied!`);
  }}
/>
```

The following RBAC action renames have been carried out:

- `users.authtoken:update` -> `users.authtoken:write`;
- `users.password:update` -> `users.password:write`;
- `users.permissions:update` -> `users.permissions:write`;
- `users.quotas:update` -> `users.quotas:write`;
