+- [#1632](https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/issues/1632) Removes the duplicated external labels detection on Thanos Querier; warning only; Made Store Gateway compatible with older Querier versions.
+ NOTE: `thanos_store_nodes_grpc_connections` metric is now per `external_labels` and `store_type`. It is a recommended  metric for Querier storeAPIs. `thanos_store_node_info` is marked as obsolete and will be removed in next release.
+ NOTE2: Store Gateway is not advertising artificial: `"@thanos_compatibility_store_type=store"` label. This is to have current Store Gateway compatible with Querier pre v0.8.0. 
+This label can be disabled by hidden `debug.advertise-compatibility-label=false` flag on Store Gateway.
