• Fix some false positives in deadlock detection that resulted in unnecessary ExecutionEngineExceptions (Azure/durabletask#678)
• Fix issue related to in-order delivery guarantees for Durable Entities (Azure/durabletask#680)
• Improved logging for lease/partition management (Azure/durabletask#699)
• Reduce GC impact of lease blob operations (Azure/durabletask#673)
