- Added cross‑backend backup copying, JWT token authentication with claim‑based routing, and numerous new dashboard panels and metrics (macOS process metrics, histogram fraction function, metadata ingestion enabled by default).
- Improved defaults (e.g., increased storage.minFreeDiskSpaceBytes, restored original label handling) and added support for UTF‑8 label names and InfluxDB parsing hints.
- Fixed several issues: correct gzip vs zstd response handling, expired client‑certificate checks, regex‑related panics, tenant query filtering, and rollup cache behavior.
