 ## tip
 
+* BUGFIX: remove `{ %space %}` typo in `/targets` output. The typo has been introduced in v1.62.0. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1408).
+
 
 ## [v1.62.0](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/tag/v1.62.0)
 
 * FEATURE: vmagent: add service discovery for Docker (aka [docker_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#docker_sd_config)). See [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/1402).
 * FEATURE: vmagent: add service discovery for DigitalOcean (aka [digitalocean_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#digitalocean_sd_config)). See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1367).
 * FEATURE: vmagent: change the default value for `-remoteWrite.queues` from 4 to `2 * numCPUs`. This should reduce scrape duration for highly loaded vmagent, which scrapes tens of thousands of targets. See [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/1385).
-* FEATURE: vmagent: show the number of samples the target returned during the last scrape on `/targets` and `/api/v1/targets` pages. This should simplify debugging targets, which may return too big or too low number of samples. See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1377).

This should simplify debugging targets, which may return too big or too low number of samples. See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1377).
 * FEATURE: vmagent: show jobs with zero discovered targets on `/targets` page. This should help debugging improperly configured scrape configs.
 * FEATURE: vmagent: support for http-based service discovery (aka [http_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#http_sd_config)), which has been added since Prometheus 2.28. See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1392).
 * FEATURE: vmagent: support namespace in Consul serive discovery in the same way as Prometheus 2.28 does. See [this issue](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/8894) for details.
