@@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ The following tip changes can be tested by building VictoriaMetrics components f
 * FEATURE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): add experimental feature for displaying last 10 states of the rule (recording or alerting) evaluation. The state is available on the Rule page, which can be opened by clicking on `Details` link next to Rule's name on the `/groups` page.
 * FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): minimize the time needed for reading large responses from scrape targets in [stream parsing mode](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#stream-parsing-mode). This should reduce scrape durations for such targets as [kube-state-metrics](https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics) running in a big Kubernetes cluster.
 * FEATURE: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): add [sort_by_label_numeric](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#sort_by_label_numeric) and [sort_by_label_numeric_desc](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#sort_by_label_numeric_desc) functions for [numeric sort](https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Version-sort-is-not-the-same-as-numeric-sort.html) of input time series by the specified labels. See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2938).
+* FEATURE: [vmbackup](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackup.html) and [vmrestore](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmrestore.html): retry GCS operations for up to 3 minutes on temporary failures. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3147).
 
 * BUGFIX: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): properly calculate `rate_over_sum(m[d])` as `sum_over_time(m[d])/d`. Previously the `sum_over_time(m[d])` could be improperly divided by smaller than `d` time range. See [rate_over_sum() docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#rate_over_sum) and [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3045).
 * BUGFIX: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): properly calculate `increase(m[d])` over slow-changing counters with values smaller than 100. Previously [increase](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#increase) could return unexpectedly big results in this case. See [the related issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/962) and [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/3163).
