Follow on to #6121

object_store 0.11.1 was released Oct 20, 2024

Per release schedule here https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file#object_store-crate we aim for
2 months release

Describe the solution you'd like

• Update version + make release noted
• Prepare release candidate + begin vote thread
• [] Release to crates.io

Describe alternatives you've considered

1. Another incremental release
2. A major release including breaking API changes (e.g. to include object_store: Migrate from snafu to thiserror #6266)

Additional context
I don't have any preference, though I personally think #6266 is a nice to have

[tustvold]

I agree that at the moment we probably don't have enough to justify a breaking release.

Some other things that might be breaking, but not sure if/when we will see anything in that space

• Support 32-bit Architectures / Replace usize with u64 #5351
• Use 'static lifetime in BoxFuture for all object-store APIs #6587
• Make LocalFileSystem an Optional Feature #6055
