• Allow OCI Vault authentication using instance principal, resource principal, or OKE workload identity in addition to the existing OCI config file provider. OCI config file remains the default OCI Vault authentication mechanism.
• Remove deprecated runtime configuration flags other than --config.file; exporter startup now requires a YAML config file, and process log level and format are configured under the log section.
• Fix scheduled scraping so a database is scraped immediately after startup warmup completes when metrics.scrapeInterval is configured.
• Patched third-party dependencies.
• Updated to Go 1.26.3
• Update Docker builds to use the latest Oracle Linux packages.
