The main features of this release are:

• Alert Destinations: ability to define multiple destinations for alert notifications (currently implemented: HipChat, Slack, Webhook and email).
• The long-awaited UI for query parameters (see example in #1069).

Also, this release includes numerous smaller features, improvements, and bug fixes.
