# v1.8.0

**Release Number:** v1.8.0

**Release Date:&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**Coming Soon!**</mark>

### **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**](https://github.com/mosip/esignet)
* [**eSignet-Signup**](https://github.com/mosip/esignet-signup)
* [**eSignet-mock-services**](https://github.com/mosip/esignet-mock-services)
* [**eSignet-Plugin**](https://github.com/mosip/esignet-plugins)

#### **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)**.](https://docs.esignet.io/roadmap-and-releases/versions/pages/Tk3eiHfyOsvmzvqNZGRg#id-2.-supported-standards-and-rfcs)

* **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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.esignet.io/roadmap-and-releases/versions/v1.8.0.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
