- Added numerous JetStream enhancements, including fast ingest batch publishing, atomic batch commit, consumer reset API, scheduled message support, async stream snapshots, and new feature‑flag configuration.
- Improved leafnode management, domain‑aware ack/flow control, and reinforced Raft and filestore reliability with error handling, snapshot safety, and node overrun handling.
- Introduced breaking changes: MQTT retained messages now reject ASCII DEL (0x7F) characters and traceparent header is no longer modified; also adjusted no‑wait consumer API behavior.
