November 2024: Completed a documentation update aligning Octopus Server encryption policy with AES-256 as the default for sensitive data in newer server versions, while clearly stating AES-128 remains in use for data in transit and on deployment targets. The change reduces admin confusion, improves security posture, and supports compliance alignment across the docs. The update is traceable to the commit fc666199b60bcf83a43138c2d611e395e27dde13 as part of (#2548). No major defects fixed in this period; effort focused on accuracy, clarity, and maintainability of security-related documentation.
