Month: 2025-03 - Summary: Delivered core Raft cluster improvements and database compatibility enhancements in apache/incubator-seata. Implemented Raft Node Discovery and Leader Information via the Naming Server with token-based authentication and dynamic token refresh, increasing discovery resilience and security. Added KingbaseXA mode support to broaden XA transaction compatibility. Enhanced Raft lock visibility by integrating vgroup into global lock information and refactoring the console to display Raft-specific group information more accurately. Stabilized Saga tests by ensuring TransactionManager is loaded prior to server initialization, improving test reliability.
