Breaking changes

• Text Panel: The text panel does no longer by default allow unsantizied HTML. This means that if you have text panels with scripts tags they will no longer work as before. To enable unsafe javascript execution in text panels enable the settings disable_sanitize_html under the section [panels] in your Grafana ini file, or set env variable GF_PANELS_DISABLE_SANITIZE_HTML=true.
• Dashboard: Panel property minSpan replaced by maxPerRow. Dashboard migration will automatically migrate all dashboard panels using the minSpan property to the new maxPerRow property
