 * BUGFIX: [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html): propagate all the timeout-related errors from `vmstorage` to `vmselect` when `vmstorage`. Previously some timeout errors weren't returned from `vmselect` to `vmstorage`. Instead, `vmstorage` could log the error and close the connection to `vmselect`, so `vmselect` was logging cryptic errors such as `cannot execute funcName="..." on vmstorage "...": EOF`.
 * BUGFIX: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): add support for time zone selection for older versions of browsers. See [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/3680).
 * BUGFIX: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): update API version for [ec2_sd_configs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/sd_configs.html#ec2_sd_configs) to fix [the issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3700) with missing `__meta_ec2_availability_zone_id` attribute.
+* BUGFIX: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): properly return `200 OK` HTTP status code when importing data via [Pushgateway protocol](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-import-data-in-prometheus-exposition-format). See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3636).
 * BUGFIX: [vmauth](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth.html): allow re-entering authorization info in the web browser if the entered info was incorrect. Previously it was non-trivial to do via the web browser, since `vmauth` was returning `400 Bad Request` instead of `401 Unauthorized` http response code.
 * BUGFIX: [vmauth](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth.html): always log the client address and the requested URL on proxying errors. Previously some errors could miss this information.
