+          New package: @dfinity/bls-verify. This package provides a pure-js implementation of BLS
+          verification using the miracl-core package. This can be used to polyfill BLS verification
+          for agent-js, but it is notably very slow (~3s per verification). Optimization may be
+          possible with a significant refactoring

           Auth Client moves key fallback generation to the create method instead of login and makes
