 # Changelog
 
 ## master / unreleased
+* [BUGFIX] Query Frontend: queries with negative offset should check whether it is cacheable or not #5719
 * [CHANGE] Azure Storage: Upgraded objstore dependency and support Azure Workload Identity Authentication. Added `connection_string` to support authenticating via SAS token. Marked `msi_resource` config as deprecating. #5645
 * [CHANGE] Store Gateway: Add a new fastcache based inmemory index cache. #5619
 * [CHANGE] Index Cache: Multi level cache backfilling operation becomes async. Added `-blocks-storage.bucket-store.index-cache.multilevel.max-async-concurrency` and `-blocks-storage.bucket-store.index-cache.multilevel.max-async-buffer-size` configs and metric `cortex_store_multilevel_index_cache_backfill_dropped_items_total` for number of dropped items. #5661
