InfluxDB v0.9.6 has been released with 8 features and 22 bug fixes, including a major revision of the TSM storage engine, which achieves significantly better throughput and compression than previous versions. The new TSM storage engine is now production-ready, but it's still for testing purposes only and requires a fresh database to upgrade from earlier releases. The next release, v0.10.0, will use the TSM storage engine by default and will be released at the end of January, with no breaking API changes expected. The release cadence will slow down to a new revision every 2 months with patch releases in between for bug fixes. Users are encouraged to test the new storage engine and provide feedback to help improve InfluxDB.
