 * FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): add `-remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue` command-line flag, which can be used for disabling data queueing to disk when the remote storage cannot keep up with the data ingestion rate. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#disabling-on-disk-persistence) and [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2110).
 * FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): add support for reading and writing samples via [Google PubSub](https://cloud.google.com/pubsub). See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#google-pubsub-integration).
 * FEATURE: reduce the default value for `-import.maxLineLen` command-line flag from 100MB to 10MB in order to prevent excessive memory usage during data import via [/api/v1/import](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-import-data-in-json-line-format).
+* FEATURE: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): add [day_of_year()](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#day_of_year) function, which returns the day of the year for each of the given unix timestamps. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5345) for details.
 
 * BUGFIX: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): prevent from `FATAL: cannot flush metainfo` panic when [`-remoteWrite.multitenantURL`](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#multitenancy) command-line flag is set. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5357).

+`day_of_year(q)` is a [transform function](#transform-functions), which returns the day of year for every point of every time series returned by `q`.
+It is expected that `q` returns unix timestamps. The returned values are in the range `[1...365]` for non-leap years, and `[1 to 366]` in leap years.
