IMPROVEMENTS:

• CLI: adds an optional flag (--fail-if-not-fulfilled) to the renew command, which lets the renew command fail on unfulfillable requests and allows command chaining to allow further executions. [GH-29060]
• audit: Audit logs will contain User-Agent headers when they are present in the incoming request. They are not HMAC'ed by default but can be configured to be via the /sys/config/auditing/request-headers/user-agent endpoint. [GH-28596]
• auth/approle: seal wrap approle secrets if seal wrap is enabled. [GH-28703]
• auth/cert: Add new configuration option enable_metadata_on_failures to add client cert metadata on login failures to audit log and response [GH-29044]
• auth/ldap: Adds an option to enable sAMAccountname logins when upndomain is set. [GH-29118]
• auth/okta: update to okta sdk v5 from v2. Transitively updates go-jose dependency to >=3.0.3 to resolve GO-2024-2631. See https://github.com/okta/okta-sdk-golang/blob/master/MIGRATING.md for details on changes. [GH-28121]
• auto-auth/cert: support watching changes on certificate/key files and notifying the auth handler when enable_reauth_on_new_credentials is enabled. [GH-28126]
• auto-auth: support new config option enable_reauth_on_new_credentials, supporting re-authentication when receiving new credential on certain auto-auth types [GH-28126]
• command/server: Add support for dumping pprof files during startup using CLI option pprof-dump-dir [GH-27033]
• core/identity: Improve performance of loading entities when unsealing by batching updates, caching local alias storage reads, and doing more work in parallel. [GH-29326]
• core: Add removed_from_cluster field to sys/seal-status and vault status output to indicate whether the node has been removed from the HA cluster. [GH-28938]
• core: Add a mount tuneable that trims trailing slashes of request paths during POST. Needed to support CMPv2 in PKI. [GH-28752]
• core: Add activation flags. A mechanism for users to opt in to new functionality at a convenient time. Previously used only in Enterprise for SecretSync, activation flags are now available in CE for future features to use. [GH-29237]
• core: Added new enable_post_unseal_trace and post_unseal_trace_directory config options to generate Go traces during the post-unseal step for debug purposes. [GH-28895]
• core: Config reloading on SIGHUP now includes some Raft settings, which are now also present in /sys/config/state/sanitized output. [GH-29485]
• core: add support for reading certain sensitive seal wrap and managed key (enterprise) configuration values from the environment or files. [GH-29402]
• events (enterprise): Send events downstream to a performance standby node only when there is a subscriber on the standby node with a filter matching the events. [GH-29618]
• events (enterprise): Send events downstream to performance standby nodes in a cluster, removing the need to redirect client event subscriptions to the active node. [GH-29470]
• events (enterprise): Use the path event metadata field when authorizing a client's subscribe capability for consuming an event, instead of requiring data_path to be present in the event metadata.
• identity: Added reporting in Vault logs during unseal to help identify any duplicate identify resources in storage. [GH-29325]
• physical/dynamodb: Allow Vault to modify its DynamoDB table and use per-per-request billing mode. [GH-29371]
• raft/autopilot: We've updated the autopilot reconciliation logic (by updating the raft-autopilot dependency to v0.3.0) to avoid artificially increasing the quorum in presence of an unhealthy node. Now autopilot will start the reconciliation process by attempting to demote a failed voter node before any promotions, fixing the issue where Vault would initially increase quorum when faced with a failure of a voter node. In certain configurations, especially when using Vault Enterprise Redundancy Zones and losing a voter then a non-voter in quick succession, this would lead to a loss of quorum and cluster failure. [GH-29306]
