v0.4.11 Read consistency interval, static windows linkage

Notice

We will no longer be updating the old experimental rust crate (named vectordb). Instead, we are migrating this work to a new rust crate (named lancedb) which will no longer be experimental. There will be breaking changes going from vectordb to lancedb and we will release more details on migration later. The lancedb crate is not yet ready for widespread use.
