• Configurable filter/range legend values #2245 Configurable filter/range legend values
• Set Log Level #2855 Set Log Level

For 4.2-GA:

• Make tile map source configurable #1902 Make tile map source configurable

• n/a "What's new" for 4.2

Release notes:

1. Elasticsearch 2.0 no longer allows referencing fields by the leafnode (issue #?). So, if you have a field called geoip.country_code you can no longer do country_code:US, you have to do geoip.country_code. Previously saved searches/visualizations/dashboards in Kibana are going to not work as expected.
   Add config option to map values to colors #4894 Config option for colors (deferred to 4.3 per @rashidkpc)
