v24.2.13

Features

• Improve the user messages when the
  topic_partitions_reserve_shard0 cluster config is used and a user tries to create a topic with more partitions than the core-based partition limit. by @pgellert in #24462

Bug Fixes

• Ensure redpanda_cloud_storage_cloud_log_size metric consistent across all replicas. We used to update it seldomly from the leader replica only which lead to inconsistent/stale values. by @nvartolomei in #24365
• Fixes a bug that could prevent topic recovery on ABS object storage when there are objects in a bucket from multiple clusters (e.g. following a whole cluster restore). by @andrwng in #24454
• Fixes a bug where rpk wasn't parsing --help when used alongside --redpanda-id in rpk cloud <provider> byoc apply by @r-vasquez in #24397
• If a discrete disk is used for cloud storage cache Redpanda previously rejected writes if that disk (cache disk) was full (in degraded state). This is incorrect since the cache disk isn't in the way of writes. From now on, reject writes only if the data disk is full (in degraded state). by @nvartolomei in #24484
• #24431 Schema Registry: fixes a bug in the Avro compatibility check reader_field_missing_default_value where it was too lenient for missing default values of null-able types. by @pgellert in #24432
