Summary

This cumulative release 20241001 mainly contains new features and improvements.

The largest change is new support for given names and surnames on Identities. This improvement has been long awaited by multiple operators.

Additionally we are delivering a feature that enables operators to deliver self-hosted (unhosted) wallets per travel-rule definitions to the customers without requiring a printer or email. Customers are now able to download a paper wallet in the form of a PDF file by scanning a QR code on the BATM screen.

PDF paper wallets will become instrumental when the Travel Rule becomes effective in the EU in January 2025. Make sure you and your customers get familiar with this feature ahead of time to help them make a smooth transition.

This release is only distributed via Debian Package Repository and requires Java 17.

Java 17 is available on Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04.

For best results, install the latest Java runtime prior to upgrade.

sudo apt update && sudo apt install openjdk-17-jre-headless

Older CAS versions may not work with JAVA17, do not upgrade JAVA until ready to upgrade CAS.
