 * FEATURE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): add `sortByLabel` template function in order to be consistent with Prometheus. See [these docs](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/template_reference/#functions) for more details.
 * FEATURE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): improve compliance with [Prometheus Alert Generator Specification](https://github.com/prometheus/compliance/blob/main/alert_generator/specification.md).
 * FEATURE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): add `-rule.resendDelay` command-line flag, which specifies the minumum amount of time to wait before resending an alert to Alertmanager (e.g. this is equivalent to `-rules.alert.resend-delay` option from Prometheus. See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1665).
+* FEATURE: [vmauth](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth.html): transparently treat `Authorization: Token ...` request headers as `Authorization: Bearer ...` request headers. This allows sending requests to `vmauth` from InfluxDB clients. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1897). Thanks to @dcircelli for the pull request.
 
 * BUGFIX: [Graphite Render API](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#graphite-render-api-usage): return an additional point after `until` timestamp in the same way as Graphite does. Previously VictoriaMetrics didn't return this point, which could result in missing last point on the graph.
 * BUGFIX: properly locate series with the given `name` and without the given `label` when using the `name{label=~"foo|"}` series selector. Previously such series could be skipped. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2255). Thanks to @jduncan0000 for discovering and fixing the issue.
