Nov 1, 2024November 2024: Delivered release-oriented improvements across two core projects (smallstep/certificates and smallstep/cli), focusing on reliability, packaging stability, and CI/automation enhancements. Key capabilities added include webhook support for SCEPCHALLENGE, human-readable webhook error responses, webhook error propagation, packaging improvements, PKCS11 utilities, and RPM/DEB artifact naming for smallstep/certificates. In smallstep/cli, release notes and dependency stabilization for the 0.28.x line were completed, including changelogs for 0.28.1 and 0.28.2, along with dependency upgrades to improve reliability and security. A packaging CI fix for ARM64 was implemented to ensure CI artifacts are reliably produced. These efforts collectively improve deployment reliability, security posture, and developer productivity across the two repositories.
