@@ -27,6 +27,7 @@ The following `tip` changes can be tested by building VictoriaMetrics components
 * FEATURE: [vmbackup](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackup.html): add support for server-side copy of existing backups. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackup.html#server-side-copy-of-the-existing-backup) for details.
 * FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): add ability to set `member num` label for all the metrics scraped by a particular `vmagent` instance in [a cluster of vmagents](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#scraping-big-number-of-targets) via `-promscrape.cluster.memberLabel` command-line flag. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#scraping-big-number-of-targets) and [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4247).
 * FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): properly handle `unexpected EOF` error when parsing metrics in Prometheus exposition format. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4817). 
+* FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): retry failed write request on the closed connection immediately, without waiting for backoff. This should improve data delivery speed and reduce amount of error logs emitted by vmagent when using idle connections. See related [issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4139).
 * FEATURE: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): make the warning message more noticeable for text fields. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4848).
 * FEATURE: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): add button for auto-formatting PromQL/MetricsQL queries. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4681). Thanks to @aramattamara for the [pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/4694).
