This release introduces a critical security update to enforce signature validation on all object uploads, protecting against unauthorized data modification. Additionally, distributed tracing capabilities have been enhanced for faster issue resolution, and key bug fixes improve resource management and LDAP administration.

### Security Updates
- Enforced mandatory signature validation for object uploads using unsigned payload trailers to prevent unauthorized data modification. Requests with invalid signatures, which may have been erroneously accepted previously, will now be correctly rejected. (#614)

### Improvements
- Enhanced distributed tracing with additional context, including authentication details, deployment information, and resource identifiers. This provides deeper system observability for faster troubleshooting of request flows. (#616)

### Bug Fixes
- Resolved a failure condition that could occur during the removal of LDAP site replications, ensuring the administrative process completes successfully. (#615)
- Addressed a resource leak during drive `Close()` operations to prevent performance degradation in long-running processes. (#601)
