FEATURES:

AWS Secrets Cross-Account Management Support (enterprise): Add support for cross-account management of static roles in AWS secrets engine.
Automated Root Rotation: A schedule or ttl can be defined for automated rotation of the root credential. [GH-29535]
Automated Root Rotation: Adds Automated Root Rotation capabilities to the AWS Auth and AWS Secrets
plugins. This allows plugin users to automate their root credential rotations based on configurable
schedules/periods via the Rotation Manager. Note: Enterprise only. [GH-29497]
Automated Root Rotation: Adds Automated Root Rotation capabilities to the DB Secrets plugin.
This allows plugin users to automate their root credential rotations based on configurable
schedules/periods via the Rotation Manager. Note: Enterprise only. [GH-29557]
Automated Root Rotation: Adds Automated Root Rotation capabilities to the GCP Auth plugin.
This allows plugin users to automate their root credential rotations based on configurable
schedules/periods via the Rotation Manager. Note: Enterprise only. [GH-29591]
Automated Root Rotation: Adds Automated Root Rotation capabilities to the GCP Secrets plugin.
This allows plugin users to automate their root credential rotations based on configurable
schedules/periods via the Rotation Manager. Note: Enterprise only. [GH-29598]
Identity De-duplication: Vault can now automatically resolve duplicate
Entities and Groups by renaming them. This feature is disabled by default and
can be enabled through the force_identity_deduplication activation flag. [GH-29356]
Plugins: Allow Enterprise plugins to run externally on Vault Enterprise only.
Product Usage Reporting: Added product usage reporting, which collects anonymous, numerical, non-sensitive data about Vault feature usage, and adds it to the existing utilization reports. [GH-28858]
Rotation Manager: Add Rotation Manager to Vault Enterprise Core. The Rotation Manager enables
plugin users to automate their root credential rotations based on configurable schedules/periods.
Skip auto import rotation of static roles (enterprise): The Database secrets engine now allows skipping the automatic rotation of static roles during import.
Transit Ed25519ph and Ed25519ctx support (Enterprise): Support for signing and verifying Ed25519ph and Ed25519ctx signatures types.

IMPROVEMENTS:

CLI: adds an optional flag (--fail-if-not-fulfilled) to the renew command, which lets the renew command fail on unfulfillable requests and allows command chaining to allow further executions. [GH-29060]
audit: Audit logs will contain User-Agent headers when they are present in the incoming request. They are not
HMAC'ed by default but can be configured to be via the /sys/config/auditing/request-headers/user-agent endpoint. [GH-28596]
auth/approle: seal wrap approle secrets if seal wrap is enabled. [GH-28703]
auth/cert: Add new configuration option enable_metadata_on_failures to add client cert metadata on login failures to audit log and response [GH-29044]
auth/ldap: Adds an option to enable sAMAccountname logins when upndomain is set. [GH-29118]
auth/okta: update to okta sdk v5 from v2. Transitively updates go-jose dependency to >=3.0.3 to resolve GO-2024-2631. See https://github.com/okta/okta-sdk-golang/blob/master/MIGRATING.md for details on changes. [GH-28121]
auto-auth/cert: support watching changes on certificate/key files and notifying the auth handler when enable_reauth_on_new_credentials is enabled. [GH-28126]
auto-auth: support new config option enable_reauth_on_new_credentials, supporting re-authentication when receiving new credential on certain auto-auth types [GH-28126]
command/server: Add support for dumping pprof files during startup using CLI option pprof-dump-dir [GH-27033]
core/identity: Improve performance of loading entities when unsealing by batching updates, caching local alias storage reads, and doing more work in parallel. [GH-29326]
core: Add removed_from_cluster field to sys/seal-status and vault status output to indicate whether the node has been removed from the HA cluster. [GH-28938]
core: Add a mount tuneable that trims trailing slashes of request paths during POST. Needed to support CMPv2 in PKI. [GH-28752]
core: Add activation flags. A mechanism for users to opt in to new functionality at a convenient time. Previously used only in Enterprise for SecretSync, activation flags are now available in CE for future features to use. [GH-29237]
core: Added new enable_post_unseal_trace and post_unseal_trace_directory config options to generate Go traces during the post-unseal step for debug purposes. [GH-28895]
core: Config reloading on SIGHUP now includes some Raft settings, which are now also present in /sys/config/state/sanitized output. [GH-29485]
core: add support for reading certain sensitive seal wrap and managed key (enterprise) configuration values from the environment or files. [GH-29402]
core/ha (enterprise): Failed attempts to become a performance standby node are now using an exponential backoff instead of a
10 second delay in between retries. The backoff starts at 2s and increases by a factor of two until reaching
the maximum of 16s. This should make unsealing of the node faster in some cases.
events (enterprise): Send events downstream to a performance standby node only when there is a subscriber on the standby node with a filter matching the events. [GH-29618]
events (enterprise): Send events downstream to performance standby nodes in a cluster, removing the need to redirect client event subscriptions to the active node. [GH-29470]
events (enterprise): Use the path event metadata field when authorizing a client's subscribe capability for consuming an event, instead of requiring data_path to be present in the event metadata.
identity: Added reporting in Vault logs during unseal to help identify any
duplicate identify resources in storage. [GH-29325]
physical/dynamodb: Allow Vault to modify its DynamoDB table and use per-per-request billing mode. [GH-29371]
raft/autopilot: We've updated the autopilot reconciliation logic (by updating the raft-autopilot dependency to v0.3.0) to avoid artificially increasing the quorum in presence of an unhealthy node. Now autopilot will start the reconciliation process by attempting to demote a failed voter node before any promotions, fixing the issue where Vault would initially increase quorum when faced with a failure of a voter node. In certain configurations, especially when using Vault Enterprise Redundancy Zones and losing a voter then a non-voter in quick succession, this would lead to a loss of quorum and cluster failure. [GH-29306]
raft/snapshotagent (enterprise): upgrade raft-snapshotagent to v0.0.0-20241003195753-88fef418d705

sdk: Add helpers and CE stubs for plugins to communicate with Rotation Manager (Enterprise). [GH-29273]
secret/pki: Introduce a new value always_enforce_err within leaf_not_after_behavior to force the error in all circumstances such as CA issuance and ACME requests if requested TTL values are beyond the issuer's NotAfter. [GH-28907]
secrets(pki): Error if attempt to set a manual chain on an issuer that can't issue any certificate. [GH-29473]
secrets-sync (enterprise): No longer attempt to unsync a random UUID secret name in GCP upon destination creation.
secrets-sync (enterprise): add support for user-managed encryption keys in GCP secrets sync destinations.
secrets/aws: add fallback endpoint and region parameters to sts configuration [GH-29051]
secrets/pki (enterprise): Add issuer configuration fields which allow disabling specific validations on certificate chains.
secrets/pki: Add ACME error types to errors encountered during challenge validation. [GH-28678]
secrets/pki: Add serial_number_source option to PKI roles to control the source for the subject serial number. [GH-29369]
secrets/pki: Add a CRL entry limit to prevent runaway revocations from overloading Vault, reconfigurable with max_crl_entries on the CRL config. [GH-28654]
secrets/pki: Add a new set of APIs that allow listing ACME account key ids, retrieving ACME account information along with the associated order and certificate information and updating an ACME account's status [GH-29173]
secrets/pki: Complete the set of name constraints parameters by adding permitted_email_addresses, permitted_ip_ranges, permitted_uri_domains, excluded_dns_domains, excluded_email_addresses, excluded_ip_ranges, and excluded_uri_domains; this makes it possible for the name constraints extension to be fully specified when creating root and intermediate CA certificates. [GH-29245]
secrets/transit: Add support for RSA padding scheme pkcs1v15 for encryption [GH-25486]
storage/dynamodb: Pass context to AWS SDK calls [GH-27927]
storage/s3: Pass context to AWS SDK calls [GH-27927]
