- Added GA Adaptive Overload Protection for write requests, Audit Entry Exclusion rules, AWS STS session tags, KV v2 subkey patch GUI, Self‑Managed Static Roles, Minimal Vault build option, and PKI 3GPP CMPv2 server support.
- Deprecated activity log fields (default report months, billing period field) and removed undocumented CLI options; activity export API now requires sudo ACL and returns 204 instead of 400 for empty data.
- Updated numerous plugins, SDKs, and storage backends (e.g., backoff, auth plugins, database plugins, Raft, etc.) to newer versions and applied minor bug‑fixes and performance improvements.
