 ## tip
 
 * FEATURE: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): propagate [label filters](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#filtering) via all the [label manipulation functions](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/metricsql/#label-manipulation-functions). For example, `label_del(some_metric{job="foo"}, "instance") + other_metric{pod="bar"}` is now transformed to `label_del(some_metric{job="foo",pod="bar"}, "instance") + other_metric{job="foo",pod="bar"}`. This should reduce the amounts of time series processed during query execution.
+* FEATURE: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): add [count_values_over_time](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#count_values_over_time) function. See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5847).
 * FEATURE: [Single-node VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/) and `vmstorage` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/cluster-victoriametrics/): expose `vm_last_partition_parts` [metrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#monitoring), which show the number of [parts in the latest partition](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#storage). These metrics may help debugging query performance slowdown related to the increased number of parts in the last partition, since usually all the ingested data is written to the last partition and all the queries are performed over the recently ingested data, e.g. the last partition.
 * FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): add support for `client_id` option into [kuma_sd_configs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/sd_configs/#kuma_sd_configs) in the same way as Prometheus does. See [this pull request](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/13278).
 * FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): add support for `enable_compression` option in [scrape_configs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/sd_configs/#scrape_configs) in order to be compatible with Prometheus scrape configs. See [this pull request](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/13166) and [this feature request](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/12319). Note that `vmagent` was always supporting [`disable_compression` option](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/#scrape_config-enhancements) before Prometheus added `enable_compression` option.
