 * BUGFIX: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): properly calculate `rate_over_sum(m[d])` as `sum_over_time(m[d])/d`. Previously the `sum_over_time(m[d])` could be improperly divided by smaller than `d` time range. See [rate_over_sum() docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#rate_over_sum) and [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3045).
 * BUGFIX: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): properly calculate `increase(m[d])` over slow-changing counters with values smaller than 100. Previously [increase](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#increase) could return unexpectedly big results in this case. See [the related issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/962) and [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/3163).
 * BUGFIX: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): ignore empty series when applying [limit_offset](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#limit_offset). It should improve queries with additional filters by value in expressions like `limit_offset(1,1, foo > 1)`.
+* BUGFIX: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): properly calculate [quantiles_over_time](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#quantiles_over_time) when the lookbehind window contains only a single sample. Previously an empty result was incorrectly returned in this case.
 * BUGFIX: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): fix `RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded` error when the query returns too many data points at `Table` view. See [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/3092/files).
 * BUGFIX: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): fix workaround for adding more queries via URL. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3169).
 * BUGFIX: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): re-evaluate annotations per each alert evaluation. Previously, annotations were evaluated only on alert's value change. This could result in stale annotations in some cases described in [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/3119).
