-Release 1.0.0rc5 includes well over 100 PRs merged since [Release 0.12.1](#0121). The vast majority of that work was in hardening the product in preparation for this 1.0.0 release.

+- A formal ACA-Py Long Term Support (LTS) policy has been documented and is being followed.
 - The default underlying Python version has been upgraded to 3.12. Happily, there were minimal code changes to enable the upgrade to 3.12 from the previous Python 3.9.
+- We've improved the developer experience by enabling support in ACA-Py artifacts for the ARM Architecture (and notably, Mac M1 and later systems), we have removed default support for BBS Signatures. BBS Signatures are still supported, and guidance is provided for how to enable the support for those needing it. We look forward to updating the BBS support in ACA-Py based on libraries that include multi-architecture support.
 - Pagination support has been added to a number of Admin API queries for object lists, enabling the development of better user interfaces for large deployments.
 - Cleanup in the ACA-Py AnonCreds Revocation Registry handling to prevent errors that were found occurring under certain specific conditions.
 - Upgraded pull request and release pipeline, including:

 - We have dropped support for the old, archived [Indy SDK]. If you have not migrated your deployment off of the Indy SDK, you must do so now. See this [Indy SDK to Askar migration documentation](#https://aca-py.org/latest/deploying/IndySDKtoAskarMigration/) for guidance.
 - Support added for using AnonCreds in [W3C VCDM](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model-1.1/) format. The support is not fully completed, but on the way.
  
-### 1.0.0rc5 Breaking Changes
+### 1.0.0rc6 Breaking Changes
 
 With the focus of the pull requests for this release on stabilizing the implementation, there were a few breaking changes:
 
 - The default underlying Python version has been upgraded to 3.12.
-- Support for the Indy SDK has been dropped. It had been previously deprecated. See this [Indy SDK to Askar migration documentation](#https://aca-py.org/latest/deploying/IndySDKtoAskarMigration/) for guidance.
+- ACA-Py has supported BBS Signatures for some time. However, the dependency that is used (`bbs`) does not support the ARM architecture, and its inclusion in the default ACA-Py artifacts mean that developers using ARM-based hardware (such as Apple M1 Macs or later) cannot run ACA-Py "out-of-the-box". We feel that providing a better developer experience by supporting the ARM architecture is more important than BBS Signature support at this time. As such, we have removed the BBS dependency from the base ACA-Py artifacts and made it an add-on that those using ACA-Py with BBS must take extra steps to build their own artifacts, as documented [here](https://aca-py.org/latest/deploying/BBSSignatures/).
+- Support for the Indy SDK has been dropped. It had been previously deprecated. See this [Indy SDK to Askar migration documentation](https://aca-py.org/latest/deploying/IndySDKtoAskarMigration/) for guidance.
 - The webhook sent after receipt of presentation by a verifier has been updated to include all of the information needed by the verifier so that the controller does not have to call the "Verify Presentation" endpoint. The issue with calling that endpoint after the presentation has been received is that there is a race condition between the controller and the ACA-Py cleanup process deleting completed Present Proof protocol instances. See [\#3081](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-cloudagent-python/pull/3081) for additional details.
 - A fix to an obscure bug includes a change to the data sent to the controller after publishing multiple, endorsed credential definition revocation registries in a single call. The bug fix was to properly process the publishing. The breaking change is that when the process (now successfully) completes, the controller is sent the list of published credential definitions. Previously only a single value was being sent. See PR [\#3107](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-cloudagent-python/pull/3107) for additional details.
