 ### 1.6.0 Breaking Changes

+This release introduces no intentional breaking changes. Note that PR [\#3998](https://github.com/openwallet-foundation/acapy/pull/3998) in release [1.5.1](#151) was not mentioned in the release as breaking, but is a breaking change. Implementations relying on the removed duplicate webhooks for present-proof v2 should adjust to the new behavior.
 
 Included are required fixes that correct behavior in some edge cases related to deployments using AnonCreds revocation, Indy and upgrading from the `askar` wallet type to the `askar-anoncreds` wallet type. Deployments that have already upgraded to 1.4.0 and later **SHOULD** upgrade to 1.6.0.

+## 1.2.7
+
+### Apr 1, 2026
+
+This release is to get a security fix in a dependency (jsonpath-ng) and to address an interop issue with Credo-TS in the handling of JWS. An AnonCreds revocation fix that was added to the 1.3.4 release is NOT included in this release as it does not apply to the 1.2 LTS branch.
+
+**As support for the ACA-Py 1.2 LTS branch ends in April 2026, this is the last 1.2 LTS release. Deployers are strongly encouraged to update to at least the latest 1.3 LTS release and ideally to the latest ACA-Py release.**
