 - [#3154](https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/pull/3154) Query Frontend: Add metric `thanos_memcached_getmulti_gate_queries_max`.
 - [#3146](https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/pull/3146) Sidecar: Add `thanos_sidecar_prometheus_store_received_frames` histogram metric.
 - [#3147](https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/pull/3147) Querier: Add `query.metadata.default-time-range` flag to specify the default metadata time range duration for retrieving labels through Labels and Series API when the range parameters are not specified. The zero value means range covers the time since the beginning.
+- [#3207](https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/pull/3207) Query Frontend: Add `query-range.compression` flag to use compression in the query frontend cache.
