 ## Bug fixes
 
+- The returned client lists of HTTP query `GET /api/v4/clients?_page=2&_limit=20` to different nodes might be inconsistent [#9926](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9926).
+
 - Fix the problem that new MQTT TLS connections failed to establish after release hot upgrade [#9810](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9810).
   For more detailed information please see: [emqx/esockd#170](https://github.com/emqx/esockd/pull/170).

 ## 修复
 
+- 使用 HTTP API `GET /api/v4/clients?_page=2&_limit=20` 请求客户端列表时，请求发送到不同的 emqx 节点，返回的客户端列表可能不一致 [#9926](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9926)。
+
 - 修复版本热升级之后，新的 MQTT TLS 连接建立失败的问题 [#9810](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9810)。
