- Breaking: OpenTelemetry Prometheus exporter no longer normalizes metric names by default; can be re‑enabled with prometheus.query.normalize flags for calls and duration.
- Feature: Added Configuration.Close() for TLS cert watcher, .kerberos.disable fast negotiation for Kafka, and selective Prometheus metric normalization support.
- Improvements: Added OTEL instrumentation to several services, updated memstore plugin README, reduced span exporter batch timeout, and pinned UI to version 1.31.0.
