Fixes

• 81c61d2 Update dependencies. PR #807 by @joseluisq
• 9a94131 Update Alpine (3.24.4) & Debian (13.7) Docker images. PR #810 by @joseluisq
• 8284b69 Release binaries and Docker images (built with the all and all-fips Cargo features) no longer include the experimental feature set. A config file with an [advanced.memory-cache] section still loads, but the section is ignored and files are served from disk. Source builds can still enable the experimental via the Cargo feature.
