 * BUGFIX: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/): prevent potential panic during [stream aggregation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation.html) if more than one `--remoteWrite.streamAggr.dedupInterval` is configured. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6205).
 * BUGFIX: [stream aggregation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/): set correct suffix `<output>_prometheus` for aggregation outputs [increase_prometheus](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/#increase_prometheus) and [total_prometheus](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/#total_prometheus). Before, outputs `total` and `total_prometheus` or `increase` and `increase_prometheus` had the same suffix.
 * BUGFIX: properly estimate the needed memory for query execution if it has the format [`aggr_func`](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/metricsql/#aggregate-functions)([`rollup_func[d]`](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/metricsql/#rollup-functions) (for example, `sum(rate(request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m]))`). This should allow performing aggregations over bigger number of time series when VictoriaMetrics runs in environments with small amounts of available memory. The issue has been introduced in [this commit](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/commit/5138eaeea0791caa34bcfab410e0ca9cd253cd8f) in [v1.83.0](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/changelog_2022/#v1830).
+* BUGFIX: [Single-node VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/) and `vmstorage` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/cluster-victoriametrics/): correctly apply `-inmemoryDataFlushInterval` when it's set to minimum supported value 1s.
 
 * DEPRECATION: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/): removed deprecated `-remoteWrite.multitenantURL` flag from vmagent. This flag was deprecated since [v1.96.0](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/tag/v1.96.0). Use `-enableMultitenantHandlers` instead, as it is easier to use and combine with [multitenant URL at vminsert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#multitenancy-via-labels). See these [docs for details](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#multitenancy).
