##### [v1.136.14](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/tag/v1.136.14)

Released at 2026-07-17

**v1.136.x is a line of [LTS releases](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/lts-releases/). It contains important up-to-date bugfixes for [VictoriaMetrics enterprise](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/enterprise/).
All these fixes are also included in [the latest community release](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/latest).
The v1.136.x line will be supported for at least 12 months since [v1.136.0](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/changelog/#v11360) release**

* SECURITY: upgrade Go builder from Go1.26.4 to Go1.26.5. See [the list of issues addressed in Go1.26.5](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.26.5%20label%3ACherryPickApproved).

* BUGFIX: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmagent/): flush pending persistent queue data to chunk file before updating the metadata. This prevents the metadata writer offset from getting ahead of the chunk file size and avoids losing the persistent queue after an unclean shutdown. See [#11192](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/11192).
* BUGFIX: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmagent/): fix a possible data race when processing OpenTelemetry metadata. See [#11238](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/11238). Thanks to @nevgeny for contribution.
* BUGFIX: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmagent/): atomically write persistent queue metainfo to prevent possible file corruption on ungraceful shutdown. See [#11192](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/11192).
* BUGFIX: [vmbackup](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmbackup/) and [vmbackupmanager](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmbackupmanager/): retry S3 requests failing with `HTTP 429` status code or `TooManyRequests` error code. Previously such requests were not retried, so a short burst of rate limiting would fail the whole backup. See [#11218](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/11218). Thanks to @gautamrizwani for contribution.
* BUGFIX: `vmselect` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/): properly apply limit to metrics metadata response. See [#11139](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/11139).
* BUGFIX: `vminsert` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/): Now drops metadata blocks when communicating with vmstorage nodes over the legacy RPC protocol. To avoid this limitation, upgrade `vmstorage` to a version that supports the new RPC protocol (>= [v1.137.0](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/docs/victoriametrics/changelog/CHANGELOG.md#v11370)). See [#11146](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/11146).
* BUGFIX: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/single-server-victoriametrics/#vmui): keep only one header navigation dropdown (`Explore`, `Tools`) open at a time. Previously, hovering across two dropdowns could briefly leave both open due to the close delay. See [#11224](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/11224). Thanks to @antedotee for contribution.
* BUGFIX: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/single-server-victoriametrics/#vmui): preserve newline formatting in alert and rule annotations on the Alerting page. See [#11171](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/11171).
* BUGFIX: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/single-server-victoriametrics/#vmui): hide `Total metric names` stats on [Cardinality Explorer](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/#cardinality-explorer) page when user selects a specific metric or label to focus. See [#11154](https://github
