 * BUGFIX: properly handle queries with multiple filters matching empty labels such as `metric{label1=~"foo|",label2="bar|"}`. This filter must match the following series: `metric`, `metric{label1="foo"}`, `metric{label2="bar"}` and `metric{label1="foo",label2="bar"}`. Previously it was matching only `metric{label1="foo",label2="bar"}`. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1601).
 * BUGFIX: vmselect: reset connection timeouts after each request to `vmstorage`. This should prevent from `cannot read data in 0.000 seconds: unexpected EOF` warning in logs. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1562). Thanks to @mxlxm .
 * BUGFIX: keep metric name for time series returned from [rollup_candlestick](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#rollup_candlestick) function, since the returned series don't change the meaning of the original series. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1600).
+* BUGFIX: vmagent: properly use `https` scheme for wildcard TLS certificates for `role: ingress` targets in Kubernetes service discovery. See [this issue](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/8902).
