# Version 2.13 release notes

Grafana Labs is excited to announce the release of Grafana Enterprise Metrics (GEM) 2.13, which is built on top of Grafana Mimir 2.13.

GEM 2.13 inherits all the features, enhancements, and bug fixes that are in the Grafana Mimir 2.13 release. Given this, it’s best to start with the [Grafana Mimir 2.13 release notes](/docs/mimir/latest/release-notes/v2.13/).

## Features and enhancements

GEM has implemented enhanced usage statistics for more accurate reporting.

GEM has followed suit with Mimir 2.13 by limiting Go’s `GOMAXPROCS` setting to be no more than `NumCPU` to reduce scheduler overhead.

The `grafana/enterprise-metrics` docker image is now based on `gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12` image. The Alpine-based docker image is still available as `grafana/enterprise-metrics-alpine`.

## Upgrade considerations

With Grafana Mimir 2.13, `mimir-continuous-test` is no longer a standalone binary and is now part of Mimir as its own target. The published Docker image has been updated to use the new packaging.

The configuration option `-log.buffered`, deprecated in Grafana Mimir 2.11, has now been removed from Mimir 2.13. Logs are now always written in a buffered fashion.
