**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.
* SECURITY: Adds `flagsAuthKey` command-line flag, which protects `/flags` endpoint and prevents application configuration disclosure. See [This issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2753).
* 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: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): add `cardinality` tab, which can help identifying the source of [high cardinality](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/FAQ.html#what-is-high-cardinality) and [high churn rate](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/FAQ.html#what-is-high-churn-rate) issues. See [this](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2233) and [this](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2730) feature requests and [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#cardinality-explorer).
* FEATURE: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): small UX enhancements according to [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2638).
