Release Name: NiDB v2026.2.1362 (v2026.2.1362)

Notes:
This release removes exiftool as the default DICOM file reader and has migrated to DCMTK. exiftool was unstable and slow. The DCMTK library is much easier to use in the back-end, so we''re migrating there. Additionally, NiDB directly reads the Siemens CSA header in a single pass instead of opening a DICOM file 3 times to get all phase encoding direction tags. This significantly improves performance.

**Verify that your DICOM data is archiving correctly after upgrading to this version.**
