InfluxDB 0.9.4 has been released with several notable features including the top aggregate function, order by time descending, and backreferencing measurement names in continuous queries. The new release also includes instrumentation information about InfluxDB through `show stats` and `show diagnostics` queries. Additionally, this version is built with Go 1.5, which may result in slightly different performance characteristics. The next priority for the project is improving write throughput and clustering capabilities with a new storage engine and bug fixes. The release also includes support for a free trial of managed InfluxDB servers in the cloud and expert professional services for help with InfluxDB projects.
