## tip
**Update notes:** this release introduces backwards-incompatible changes to communication protocol between `vmselect` and `vmstorage` nodes in cluster version of VictoriaMetrics because of added [query tracing](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#query-tracing), so `vmselect` and `vmstorage` nodes may log communication errors during the upgrade. These errors should stop after all the `vmselect` and `vmstorage` nodes are updated to new release. It is safe to downgrade to previous releases.
* FEATURE: support query tracing, which allows determining bottlenecks during query processing. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#query-tracing) and [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1403).
* FEATURE: allow overriding default limits for in-memory cache `indexdb/tagFilters` via flag `-storage.cacheSizeIndexDBTagFilters`. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2663).
* FEATURE: add support of `lowercase` and `uppercase` relabeling actions in the same way as [Prometheus 2.36.0 does](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/tag/v2.36.0). See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2664).
* FEATURE: support query tracing, which allows determining bottlenecks during query processing. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#query-tracing) and [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1403).
* FEATURE: add ability to change the `indexdb` rotation timezone offset via `-retentionTimezoneOffset` command-line flag. Previously it was performed at 4am UTC time. This could lead to performance degradation in the middle of the day when VictoriaMetrics runs in time zones located too far from UTC. Thanks to @cnych for [the pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/2574).
* FEATURE: limit the number of background merge threads on systems with big number of CPU cores by default. This increases the max size of parts, which can be created during background merge when `-storageDataPath` directory has limited free disk space. This may improve on-disk data compression efficiency and query performance. The limits can be tuned if needed with `-smallMergeConcurrency` and `-bigMergeConcurrency` command-line flags. See [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/2673).
* FEATURE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): remove dependency on Internet access at [web API pages](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html#web). Previously the functionality and the layout of these pages was broken without Internet access. See [shis issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2594).
