+This release adds initial support for DoH3 and includes several core performance and stability
+fixes, including reduced allocations, a resolved data race in uniq, and safer QUIC listener
+initialization. Plugin updates improve forwarder reliability, extend GeoIP schema support,
+and fix issues in secondary, nomad, and kubernetes. Cache and file plugins also receive
+targeted performance tuning.
