• [CHANGE] #905 Relax the ServerVersion checks to structure only without separating OSS/DSE/HCD.
• [FEATURE] #893 Add support for maxUnavailable (Kubernetes 1.35 and up). This allows to make changes to the Cassandra pods in parallel, thus speeding up changes in larger clusters. Allows integer or percentage setting, but will never target more than one rack at a time.
• [ENHANCEMENT] #888 Add new metrics around all calls to the mgmt-api. This allows to track if some calls are taking longer to execute than expected.
• [ENHANCEMENT] #873 Allow replacing multiple previously bootstrapped nodes in parallel. Also, the CassandraTask to replace pod accepts RackName as alternative to PodName as filtering rule.
