Chestnut update (v4.3.0)
Release date: 2022-10-27
This update adds forward compatibility with the upcoming v5 release.
It removes validation of legalBase from NutsAuthorizationCredential, which was never properly defined in the JSON-LD contexts.
The upcoming v5 release will refuse to issue credentials with fields that were not defined in the credential’s context.
But, since legalBase is required up until v4.3.0, it would mean future NutsAuthorizationCredentials issued by upcoming v5 can’t be used in v4.
Hence, the removal of the validation, to become forwards compatible with v5.

Cashew (v3.0.0)

This release no longer contains the V1 network protocol.
Full Changelog: https://github.com/nuts-foundation/nuts-node/compare/v2.0.0…v3.0.0
Brazil (v2.0.0)
Release date: 2022-04-29
This version implements the V2 network protocol. The V2 network protocol combines gossip style messages with a fast reconciliation protocol for larger difference sets. The protocol can quickly identify hundreds of missing transactions. The new protocol is much faster than the old protocol and its performance is currently limited by the database performance.
Besides the improved network protocol, this version also implements semantic searching for Verifiable Credentials. Till this version, searching for VCs only supported the NutsOrganizationCredential and NutsAuthorizationCredential. With the new semantic search capabilities all kinds of credentials can be issued and found. This is the first step for the Nuts node to become a toolbox that supports multiple domains.
