  • Presentation: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1RkzmFXXuGEB1x6kROFMqRNRQOwUp1rkvU3tsEq7nn0g/edit?usp=sharing

• LTS Releases – 0.12.5, 1.2.3, and 0.12.6, 1.2.4.

    • Multitenant connection reuse #3543

    • Access to the base wallet when in multi-tenant insecure mode #3545

    • AnonCreds endpoints revocation list handling bug #3570

• Updates:

  • Troubling interop issue with Credo/Bifold/BC Wallet – when using wallet type – “askar-anoncreds”. Seems to be a naming issue between the components that needs to be addressed.

    • Document pending on confusion in the wallet-type naming: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EMGG2fjnDb6qgWR0SG8XhpvFjxGllQZehIfu8oU3SjY/edit?usp=sharing

  • Tech debt removal – e.g. consist use of “AnonCreds” rather than “Anoncreds” in the code, regex validators, improved logging.

  • Invitation/key handling – ropute and OOB

  • Continue progress on DIDComm v2

• Logo Brief – needs input: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p6l4DpNphpJk_Z-VlIGd-H4Lgx-AuwpZhoiZNJNOo7M/edit?usp=sharing

  • Stylized text “ACA-Py”, a nod to the Python mascot, a background invoking decentralized identity and/or verifiable credentials

• Open Discussion

  • ACA-Py NEWS? The OWF Newsletter goes out on the third Thursday of each month (in 2 days). If there is ACA-Py news, please send a note to community-architects@openwallet.foundation

Future Topics:

Action items

• Enable major version update recommendations by Dependabot: review open PRs and pick-and-choose which ones could be merged as-is and which ones should be actioned by someone (more as a recommendation to update than as a solution). Project is in a testing state that allows us to move forward with this.

• OpenSSF Scorecard:

  • We are using poetry for dependency management, and it is creating a lockfile. Likely configuration issue for detecting pinned dependencies.

  • Token permissions will require tokens to be revoked and recreated with the minimum set of permissions required for it to work correctly.
