# v1.8.0 **Release Number:** v1.8.0 **Release Date:** 19th May, 2026 **Coming Soon!** ### **Overview** eSignet v1.8.0 introduces significant infrastructure modernization and enhanced data privacy. This release upgrades the entire eSignet ecosystem from **Java 11 to** [**Java 21**](/readme/technology/technology-stack-j21.md) , delivering improved performance, better resource management via virtual threads, and long-term support. Additionally, the implementation of [**RFC 7516**](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7516.html) adds support for encrypted UserInfo responses, ensuring robust protection of sensitive user data in compliance with OIDC standards. ### **Major Highlights** #### **1. Migration to Java 21** We have upgraded eSignet and its core modules from Java 11 to Java 21. This upgrade applies to the following repositories: * **eSignet** * **eSignet-Signup** * **eSignet-mock-services** * **eSignet-Plugin** #### **2. Encrypted UserInfo Support (RFC 7516)** To further secure PII (Personally Identifiable Information), eSignet now supports returning the **UserInfo response as an encrypted JSON (JWE)**. * **Enhanced Privacy:** Ensures that user attributes are only readable by the intended client application. * **Standard Compliance:** Implements **RFC 7516 (JSON Web Encryption)**, aligning eSignet with global security best practices for OpenID Connect (OIDC) providers. #### **Story Development** The following functional requirements and stories were completed in this release:
