This release enhances system performance under high load by optimizing the rate limiter's resource handling. New example applications and configurations are now available to accelerate the implementation of advanced traffic management policies.

### Improvements
*   Optimized resource allocation by immediately canceling queued requests from disconnected clients, improving system responsiveness under heavy load. (#84)
*   Accelerated implementation of advanced traffic management with new example applications and configurations for Kubernetes and bare-metal deployments. (#82)
*   Added documentation for the `affinity` configuration setting, enabling performance tuning by reducing network latency in multi-node deployments. (#85)

### Bug Fixes
*   Corrected the status code for throttled API requests to `HTTP 429 Too Many Requests`, enabling standard client-side handling of rate limits. (#86)
