- Added Aerospike storage backend and expanded secret engine support (dynamic usernames for many databases, Terraform Cloud token engine, IAM tagging for AWS, OpenLDAP dynamic roles, UI wizard for DB secrets)
- Enhanced the agent with persistent cache, Windows service mode, better concurrent request handling and templating; added core telemetry, namespace‑aware status, lease memory reduction and active node timestamps
- Fixed multiple bugs across auth (JWT claim validation, key update), core (deadlocks, IP disclosure, rate‑limit migration), UI (feature‑flag handling, double‑encoding), and storage/raft (snapshot config, AWS KMS key naming)
