PTAL
By the way, is it possible to release recently (like 3.2.1), including the
recent fixes? We are eagerly expecting some of them.

> Dear developers,
> I encountered an NPE when using Ratis. It says:
> !image-2025-08-12-16-52-21-717.png!
> The related code is here (at commit RATIS-2317. Move acquire
> PendingRequestPermit out of synchronized block in
> RaftServerImpl#appendTransaction. (#1275)):
> !image-2025-08-12-16-53-56-259.png!
> When the leader changes, the lasterNoLeaderTime is set to null.
> If the leader changes again, without being set to a null leader first, then
> the variable `previous` will be null, which triggers an NPE.
