v1.22.0-rc.0 / 2025-03-07

[kakkoyun]

⚠️ This release contains potential breaking change if you use experimental zstd support introduce in #1496 ⚠️

Experimental support for zstd on scrape was added, controlled by the request Accept-Encoding header.
It was enabled by default since version 1.20, but now you need to add a blank import to enable it.
The decision to make it opt-in by default was originally made because the Go standard library was expected to have default zstd support added soon,
golang/go#62513 however, the work took longer than anticipated and it will be postponed to upcoming major Go versions.

e.g.:

import (
  _ "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus/promhttp/zstd"
