+- **Unified configuration** (added in 0.0.5): the zero-consumer `IoConfig`, `CacheSettings`, `IoSchedulerSettings`, `BackpressureSettings`, `TimeoutSettings`, `DeadlockDetectionSettings` types and their `DEFAULT_*` constants were removed (rustfs/rustfs#6008); rustfs-io-core's `IoSchedulerConfig`/`BackpressureConfig` remain the canonical configuration types.
