1.6.1

ACA-Py 1.6.1 includes fixes found from continued production use of the askar-anoncreds wallet migration and revocation processes, and a fix to bound the memory usage of record queries and maintenance/upgrade scans, improving stability for larger deployments. The multitenancy subwallet removal endpoint has been updated to use DELETE for REST consistency, with the previous POST .../remove endpoint now deprecated. Many dependabot PRs are included to keep dependencies current and secure.

Several PRs in this release complete the work to make ACA-Py 1.6 an official LTS release, with several fixes to the LTS CI/CD image tagging and publishing process

New governance documentation, including a Technical Charter and an OWF Project Mapping Document, are included.

1.6.1 Breaking Changes

There are no breaking changes in this release.

1.6.1 Deprecation Notices

The acapy_agent.revocation_anoncreds package has been deprecated and relocated to acapy_agent.anoncreds.revocation for improved consistency across the codebase. The change will affect [ACA-Py Plugins] that implement AnonCreds, and developers with their own controllers should also update their implementations.

The wallet-type configuration value askar is now deprecated and all deployments still using that wallet type should migrate to either the askar-anoncreds or (ideally) kanon-anoncreds wallet types.

For REST consistency the POST /multitenancy/wallet/{wallet_id}/remove endpoint is deprecated, replaced with the DELETE /multitenancy/wallet/{wallet_id} endpoint. Implementers should update plugins and their own code to use the new endpoint. The old endpoint will be removed in a future release.
