## Unreleased
+## v1.28.0
+
- Keep externalized payload tokens stable across completion retries and release entity locks when payload storage permanently fails an orchestration.
- Add the worker-owned `SetOrchestratorResponsePreparation` infrastructure API for response preparation before final worker entity cleanup and chunking.
- Restrict Azure Blob payload downloads and deletion to the configured container and storage endpoint by default, with explicit account-wide access through `AllowAllContainersInConfiguredAccount` and additional identity-authenticated account endpoints through `AdditionalAccountUris`. Preserve v1/v2 token formats. Before changing the storage location, complete or explicitly migrate existing instances and clean up their payloads, or explicitly authorize the original location.
- Preserve exact blob-name identity during payload reads and deletion, including literal leading and trailing slashes. Reject references whose decoded names change during URI normalization; complete affected instances or migrate those payloads and references before upgrading.
- Externalize continue-as-new carryover event payloads using the configured UTF-8 size limits, preventing oversized completion responses ([#819](https://github.com/microsoft/durabletask-dotnet/issues/819)).
+- Support opt-in unary client deadlines for gRPC and Azure Managed clients ([#826](https://github.com/microsoft/durabletask-dotnet/pull/826)).
+- Fix continuous history export skipping out-of-order orchestration completions ([#830](https://github.com/microsoft/durabletask-dotnet/pull/830)).
+- Avoid repeated orchestration-history scans when reconstructing tracing context ([#788](https://github.com/microsoft/durabletask-dotnet/pull/788)).
+- Update SDK, sample, and test dependencies within their existing major versions. Keep `Azure.Storage.Blobs` at `12.27.0`, the newest version compatible with the existing Microsoft.Extensions package majors.
## v1.27.1
- Propagate tags from entity-started orchestrations ([#812](https://github.com/microsoft/durabletask-dotnet/pull/812))
