- Added Scalar Quantization (up to 4x memory reduction, 2x speed boost) and new Match‑Any filtering, listener mode, and /metrics API in OpenMetric format.
- Improved Raft checkpointing, nested filtering structures, and snapshot recovery (distributed snapshots, wait=false, local recovery without existing collection).
- Fixed multiple bugs: Docker arm64 build, NFS snapshot recovery, count API checks, collection‑alias validation, and numeric/geo payload index crashes.
