### Breaking changes

In the Loki data source, for consistency and performance reasons, we changed how we represent `NaN` (not a number) values received from Loki. In the past versions, we converted these to `null` in the frontend (for dashboard and explore), and kept as `NaN` in the alerting path. Starting with this version, we will always keep it as `NaN`. This change should be mostly invisible for the users. Issue [#45389](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/45389)

The dependency to [grafana/aws-sdk](https://github.com/grafana/grafana-aws-sdk-react) is moved from [grafana/ui](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/main/packages/grafana-ui/package.json) to the plugin. This means that any plugin that use SIGV4 auth need to pass a SIGV4 editor component as a prop to the `DataSourceHttpSettings` component. Issue [#43559](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/43559)
