This release has Quartz jobs start executing only after application startup completes successfully, unless QuartzHostedServiceOptions are used to specify otherwise. By default, this prevents jobs from running while the application is still starting, and it alleviates the need to use arbitrary start delays to achieve the effect manually.

Quartz.OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation has been marked obsolete as there's official contrib project on OpenTelemetry project side.
