Agenda

• Record the meeting
• Credential delay
  • There is an open issue in AFJ
  • The delay is caused by delayed connection to ledgers. It might help to update the genesis file(s).
• 0.3.0 release .... continued
  • We're waiting for the last smaller PRs to be merged.
  • Version 0.3.0 is part of the main branch already.
  • Alpha versions are released from the main branch regularly.
• DIDComm v2 support
  • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/pull/1096
  • Main points:
    • Do not add didcomm libarry to core, should be dynamically registered as didcomm/signing/key provider
    • Keys should not leave the wallet, rather the content should be given to the wallet and signed / encrypted content should be returned
    • https://hackmd.io/6eXZcMhdQR-QCNPMFYTvuA
    • Ask whether they can present their work at the AFJ WG Call
  • Main points 2:
    • cosmetic changes
