+## [0.7.0] — 2026-04-25
+
+### Changed
+
+- Paired version bump with `@openeudi/openid4vp@0.7.0` (synchronized-versioning rule). No API change in `@openeudi/core` this release — the openid4vp companion adds signed authorization requests (JAR / `x509_san_dns`), encrypted `direct_post.jwt` response handling, and the OpenID4VP 1.0 §8.1 envelope verifier; this bump keeps the two packages on parallel release cadences.
