+ * Read Key/Trust store password from file (and other security related improvements)
+ * Restored support for OSGI
+ * Reduced the performance impact of Prometheus metrics

+ZooKeeper 3.8.x clients are compatible with 3.5.x, 3.6.x and 3.7.x servers as long as you are not using new APIs not present these versions.
