CHANGES

• packaging/container: Revert removal of legacy, non-opencontainers image labels for maximum compatibility. [GH-3504] IMPROVEMENTS
• core: Warn on sys/ key with no explicit invalidation handler; please report if you see a log line with no mechanism to invalidate cache. [GH-3555]
• core/policies: Introduce PATCH operation support for modifying the values of specific parameters. [GH-3506] BUG FIXES
• core/expiration: Ensure leases are not inadvertently cached on standby nodes. [GH-3555]
• core/policies: Allow removal of expiration from policies on POST/PUT to sys/policies/acl/ by eliding the parameter; use PATCH to update policies without modifying unnecessary parameters. [GH-3506]
• core/policies: Fix limit=0 and negative limits bypassing the pagination_limit ACL option. [GH-3518]
• core/policies: Fix persistence of new allow_wildcards_in_identity_templates, allow_slashes_in_identity_templates parameters in storage. [GH-3506]

• auth/jwt: Fix patch operation of CEL roles losing existing data (bound_audiences not_before_leeway, clock_skew_leeway and expiration_leeway). [GH-3551]
• auth/token: Ensure salt cache is invalidated properly on standby nodes. [GH-3555]
• sdk/plugin: Ensure all log messages are visible under plugin.ServeMultiplex(...) by default to align with plugin.Serve(...). [GH-3536]
• sdk: Better support non-usr-merged distributions in containerized testing. [GH-3554]
• packaging/container: Ensure that labels on UBI-based images comply with Red Hat's certification requirements. [GH-3504] What's Changed
