 * BUGFIX: vmselect: prevent from possible deadlock when multiple `target` query args are passed to [Graphite Render API](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#graphite-render-api-usage).
 * BUGFIX: return series with `a op b` labels and `N` values for `(a op b) default N` if `(a op b)` returns series with all NaN values. Previously such series were removed.
 * BUGFIX: vmui: fix layout when the query selects more than 27 time series. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1497).
+* BUGFIX: vmagent: restore highlighting in red for DOWN targets at `/targets` page. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1461).
