* FEATURE: [query tracing](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#query-tracing): show timestamps in query traces in human-readable format (aka `RFC3339` in UTC timezone) instead of milliseconds since Unix epoch. For example, `2022-06-27T10:32:54.506Z` instead of `1656325974506`.
* FEATURE: improve performance of [/api/v1/series](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#finding-series-by-label-matchers) requests, which return big number of time series.
* FEATURE: expose additional histogram metrics at `http://victoriametrics:8428/metrics`, which may help understanding query workload:
* `vm_rows_read_per_query` - the number of raw samples read per query.
* `vm_rows_scanned_per_query` - the number of raw samples scanned per query. This number can exceed `vm_rows_read_per_query` if `step` query arg passed to [/api/v1/query_range](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#range-queries) is smaller than the lookbehind window set in square brackets of [rollup function](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#rollup-functions). For example, if `increase(some_metric[1h])` is executed with the `step=5m`, then the same raw samples on a hour time range are scanned `1h/5m=12` times. See [this article](https://valyala.medium.com/how-to-optimize-promql-and-metricsql-queries-85a1b75bf986) for details.
* `vm_rows_read_per_series` - the number of raw samples read per queried series.
* `vm_series_read_per_query` - the number of series read per query.
* BUGFIX: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): allow using `__name__` label (aka [metric name](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/basics/#time-series-selectors)) in alerting annotations. For example `{{ $labels.__name__ }}: Too high connection number for "{{ $labels.instance }}`.
* BUGFIX: limit max memory occupied by the cache, which stores parsed regular expressions. Previously too long regular expressions passed in [MetricsQL queries](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html) could result in big amounts of used memory (e.g. multiple of gigabytes). Now the max cache size for parsed regexps is limited to a a few megabytes.

Histogram is a set of [counter](#counter) metrics with different labels for tracking the dispersion
