SignServer Community 7.0 Release Notes
COMMUNITY EDITION FEB 2025
The SignServer team is pleased to announce the newest release of our open-source signing software SignServer Community Edition with version 7.0.
These release notes cover new SignServer Community features and improvements implemented between SignServer Community 6.3 and SignServer Community 7.0.
This community release introduces a new technology stack and includes other improvements and error corrections.
Highlights
Upgraded Technology Stack
SignServer 7 introduces support for running on an upgraded technology stack. As of version 7.0, the deployment prerequisites now include WildFly 32 or JBoss EAP 8 as the supported application servers, and Java 17 as the required runtime environment. While Java 17 is required for this release, Java 21 is planned to be supported in a future release.
Due to changes in recent WildFly versions and JBoss EAP 8, which are not backward compatible with WildFly 26 and JBoss 7.4, the upgrade from SignServer 6.3 to SignServer 7 requires a complete technology stack upgrade.
Announcements
Removal of DSA algorithm
Support for the DSA algorithm has been removed in SignServer 7.0, following its deprecation in SignServer 6.2. Users of this algorithm must migrate to other algorithms.
Removal of support for Java 11
Support for Java 11 has been removed as part of the migration to the upgraded technology stack released in 7.0. The minimum version of Java is now Java 17. This applies to both SignServer and SignClient.
