Qdrant 1.19 compresses vectors and unifies memory controls

Qdrant 1.19 introduces a four-bit Turbo4 vector datatype, a unified memory configuration and more precise tenant and text filtering. The release can substantially reduce storage, but compressed vectors trade some recall for efficiency. It also removes legacy query endpoints, so self-hosted users should plan staged upgrades and client compatibility checks.
