Important
This release introduces a complete code refactor of ProxLB, including a transition from INI-based configuration files to YAML, requiring users to adjust their configurations accordingly. The new YAML format enhances readability, flexibility, and scalability, but existing setups must be migrated to align with the updated schema.
