-BUGFIX: vmstorage: fix `unaligned 64-bit atomic operation` panic on 32-bit architectures (arm and 386). The panic has been introduced in v1.67.0
+* FEATURE: consistently return the same set of time series from [limitk](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#limitk) function. This improves the usability of periodically refreshed graphs.
