 - [#7961](https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/pull/7961) Store Gateway: Add `--store.posting-group-max-keys` flag to mark posting group as lazy if it exceeds number of keys limit. Added `thanos_bucket_store_lazy_expanded_posting_groups_total` for total number of lazy posting groups and corresponding reasons.
 - [#8000](https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/pull/8000) Query: Bump promql-engine, pass partial response through options
 - [#7353](https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/pull/7353) Receiver: introduce optional cache for matchers in series calls.
-- [#7957](https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/pull/7957) Compact, Store Gateway: Compactor will set series p90, p99, p999 and p9999 size in `meta.json` file. Lazy expanded postings will choose estimated series size based on `estimated-series-size-stat` flag.
+- [#7957](https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/pull/7957) Compact, Store Gateway: Compactor will set series p90, p99, p999, p9999, average size and standard deviation in `meta.json` file. Lazy expanded postings can choose estimated series size based on `estimated-series-size-stat` flag, available options are p90, p99, p999, p9999, max and zscore. If zscore option is picked, `estimated-series-size-stat-zscore` can be used to set the zscore value.
