Improvements:

  • Improved history UI: table column alignment, use of screen estate.

  • Improved performance of ModifyMembers, ChangeMembers user group REST APIs.

Self-hosted Installations 1.162.2

New Features:

  • HSM SignServices now provides “readonly” mode for operational/maintenance purposes, which disables key management while still allowing signing operations.

  • K8s readiness probe for signingprocessorservice switched from “readyfile” command probe to HTTP “healthz” probe to improve stability.

 April 11, 2024

Self-hosted Installations 1.161.1

 March 28, 2024

SignPath Application 1.160.1

Improvements:

  • Artifact configuration: <create-raw-signature> supports input filename substitution via ${file.name}.

Self-hosted Installations 1.160.1

Breaking Changes / Manual migration steps:

  • Hash signing operations are now performed by signingprocessorservice.

    You need to configure basic authentication configuration:
