[Unreleased]

Changed

• Certificates signed by an issuer using an RSA key will be signed using the same algorithm as the issuer certificate was signed with. The signature will no longer default to PKCS #1. For example, if the issuer certificate was signed using RSA-PSS with SHA-256, a new certificate will also be signed using RSA-PSS with SHA-256.

[0.20.0] - 2022-05-26

Added

• Added Kubernetes auth method for Vault RAs.
• Added support for reporting provisioners to linkedca.
• Added support for certificate policies on authority level.
• Added a Dockerfile with a step-ca build with HSM support.
• A few new WithXX methods for instantiating authorities

Changed

• Context usage in HTTP APIs.
• Changed authentication for Vault RAs.
• Error message returned to client when authenticating with expired certificate.
• Strip padding from ACME CSRs.

Deprecated

• HTTP API handler types.

Fixed

• Fixed SSH revocation.
• CA client dial context for js/wasm target.
