on GitHub

This release contains various libraries updates and is recommended for all users.

Highlights

Upcoming Breaking Changes

• This is the last Web3Signer release to use Java 17. Web3Signer will start mandating Java 21 for build and runtime after
  this release. The Web3Signer docker image will also use Java 21, however, binary distributions (.tar.gz/.zip) will
  require Java 21 to be available on the host machine.
• This is the last Web3Signer release to use the "filecoin" mode. The "filecoin" mode will be removed in a future release.

Features Added

• Added endpoint /api/v1/eth2/ext/sign/:identifier which is enabled using cli option --Xsigning-ext-enabled=true.
  This endpoint allows signing of additional data not covered by the remoting API specs. #982
