🚀 Bastillion Release Notes

What’s New

• ✅ Upgraded to Java 21 and Jakarta EE 11 — modern language features, improved performance, and long-term support.
• 🔐 Added full support for Ed25519 and Ed448 SSH key generation, with Ed25519 now set as the default key type.
• 📦 Updated all libraries and dependencies to their latest stable releases for enhanced security, stability, and compatibility.

Migration Guide (from v3.10.00)

To migrate from a previous installation:

1. Ensure Java 21 is installed
   Bastillion now requires Java 21. Confirm it's installed and available in your environment:

   java --version

   On Ubuntu, you can install it via:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install -y openjdk‑21‑jdk

2. Backup your existing database
   The H2 data store is usually named:

   bastillion.h2.db
   

   (Older versions may use keybox.h2.db.)

3. Copy the following files and directories from your old installation:

   • jetty/bastillion/WEB-INF/classes/keydb/ → copy the entire folder and its contents
   • jetty/bastillion/WEB-INF/classes/bastillion.jceks
   • jetty/bastillion/WEB-INF/classes/BastillionConfig.properties

4. Review and migrate configuration files as needed:

   • jaas.conf
   • log4j2.xml
   • keystore
   • jetty-ssl.xml
   • jetty-http.xml

5. Restart Bastillion
   Confirm that the application is connected to its previous database and that all services start cleanly under Jetty.

Additional Notes

• Ed25519 keys (256-bit) are now the default for improved speed and security.
• Ed448 keys (448-bit) are supported for environments requiring extended cryptographic strength.
• Migration preserves existing authorized keys and stored credentials if configuration paths are copied correctly.
