 * FEATURE: [vmauth](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth/): allow discovering ip addresses for backend instances hidden behind a shared hostname, via `discover_backend_ips: true` option. This allows evenly spreading load among backend instances. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth/#discovering-backend-ips) and [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5707).
 * FEATURE: [vmauth](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth/): allow routing incoming requests based on HTTP [query args](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string) via `src_query_args` option at `url_map`. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth/#generic-http-proxy-for-different-backends) and [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5878).

 * FEATURE: [stream aggregation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/): reduce memory usage by up to 5x when aggregating over big number of unique [time series](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyconcepts/#time-series). The memory usage reduction is most visible when [stream deduplication](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/#deduplication) is enabled.
 * FEATURE: [stream aggregation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/): allow using `-streamAggr.dedupInterval` and `-remoteWrite.streamAggr.dedupInterval` command-line flags without the need to specify `-streamAggr.config` and `-remoteWrite.streamAggr.config`. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/#deduplication).
 * FEATURE: [stream aggregation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/): add `-streamAggr.dropInputLabels` command-line flag, which can be used for dropping the listed labels from input samples before applying stream [de-duplication](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/#deduplication) and aggregation. This is faster and easier to use alternative to [input_relabel_configs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/#relabeling).

 ## Reading auth tokens from other HTTP headers
 
 `vmauth` reads `username`, `password` and `bearer_token` [config values](#auth-config) from `Authorization` request header.
-It is possible to read these values from any other request header by specifying it via `-httpAuthHeader` command-line flag.
+It is possible to read these auth tokens from any other request header by specifying it via `-httpAuthHeader` command-line flag.
 For example, the following command instructs `vmauth` to read auth token from `X-Amz-Firehose-Access-Key` header:
 
 ```
-./vmauth -httpAuthHeader=X-Amz-Firehose-Access-Key
+./vmauth -httpAuthHeader='X-Amz-Firehose-Access-Key'
+```
+
+It is possible to read auth tokens from multiple headers. For example, the following command instructs `vmauth` to read auth token
+from both `Authorization` and `X-Amz-Firehose-Access-Key` headers:
+
+```
+./vmauth -httpAuthHeader='Authorization' -httpAuthHeader='X-Amz-Firehose-Access-Key'
