- auto-detect public IP with ExternalIP=STUN and STUNServer=stun.example.com
- compiler support for VS2022
- new database driver for Oracle and new timestamp format 'Oracle'
- new switch [EP::xxx] ForceDirectMode=1 to handle all calls from this endpoint in direct mode
- BUGFIX(RasSrv.cxx, gkauth.cxx) make sure time_t is handled unsigned to avoid Y2K38 issue
