Announcing OpenBao v2.6!

Brief

We are thrilled to announce the availability of OpenBao v2.6 , adding per-namespace sealing and the new workflow engine for cross-plugin communication!

Our most collaborative release to date, v2. 6 features contributions from 42 first-time contributors, 27 individuals contributing multiple changes, and 8 users with double-digit change counts. Simply fantastic work and a big thanks to the community that makes this happen!
