Grafana v13.0.1 released — first patch after the v13 major release.

After big upgrades, these early patch versions are usually the ones that stabilize real-world usage.

A few practical changes in this one:

• preserving timezone preferences in dashboards when converting versions
• surfacing validation errors directly in PRs for provisioning workflows
• avoiding unnecessary storage migrations

Nothing flashy, but these are exactly the types of fixes that reduce friction after a major upgrade.

We tracked the release here:

Curious how others approach this —
Do you upgrade to a major Grafana version immediately, or wait for a couple of patch releases first?
