There was a problem hiding this comment.
LGTM, but please update the CHANGELOG entry to be more task oriented by adding something about using scrape_native_histograms instead.

##### [\`v3.9.0\`](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/tag/v3.9.0) #### Note for users of Native Histograms In version 3.9, Native Histograms is no longer experimental, and the feature flag `native-histogram` has no effect. You must now turn on the config setting `scrape_native_histograms` to collect Native Histogram samples from exporters. #### Changelog - \[CHANGE] Native Histograms are no longer experimental! Make the `native-histogram` feature flag a no-op. Use `scrape_native_histograms` config option instead. [#17528](prometheus/prometheus#17528) - \[CHANGE] API: Add maximum limit of 10,000 sets of statistics to TSDB status endpoint. [#17647](prometheus/prometheus#17647) - \[FEATURE] API: Add /api/v1/features for clients to understand which features are supported. [#17427](prometheus/prometheus#17427) - \[FEATURE] Promtool: Add `start_timestamp` field for unit tests. [#17636](prometheus/prometheus#17636) - \[FEATURE] Promtool: Add `--format seriesjson` option to `tsdb dump` to output just series labels in JSON format. [#13409](prometheus/prometheus#13409) - \[FEATURE] Add `--storage.tsdb.delay-compact-file.path` flag for better interoperability with Thanos.

[#17565](prometheus/prometheus#17565) - \[ENHANCEMENT] Scraping: Classic protobuf format no longer requires the unit in the metric name. [#16834](prometheus/prometheus#16834) - \[ENHANCEMENT] PromQL, Rules, SD, Scraping: Add native histograms to complement existing summaries. [#17374](prometheus/prometheus#17374) - \[ENHANCEMENT] Notifications: Add a histogram `prometheus_notifications_latency_histogram_seconds` to complement the existing summary.

[#17682](prometheus/prometheus#17682) - \[BUGFIX] UI: Fixed codemirror-promql incorrectly showing label completion suggestions after the closing curly brace of a vector selector. [#17602](prometheus/prometheus#17602) - \[BUGFIX] UI: Query editor no longer suggests a duration unit if one is already present after a number. [#17605](prometheus/prometheus#17605) - \[BUGFIX] PromQL: Fix some "vector cannot contain metrics with the same labelset" errors when experimental delayed name removal is enabled.
