## 🎶 [It’s My Life](https://youtu.be/kymdKYtkJbQ) (5.4.0)

Passbolt 5.4.0 brings one of our most significant updates yet: encrypted metadata is now stable and widely available.

- New resource types from day one → icons, multiple URIs, and custom fields are available out-of-the-box for all new instances.

- Default for new instances → encrypted metadata is enabled automatically.

- Simple upgrade path for existing instances → admins can enable it with a single click. Migration is manual by design: users can migrate items individually, or admins can roll out an organization-wide update with the new migration tool.

This approach means no disruption to existing workflows or integrations, while giving teams full control over when and how to transition.

### Other highlights

- Secure notes up to 50,000 characters → big enough for full certificate chains, long keys, or detailed internal documentation.

- Elliptic-curve keys (Curve25519/Ed25519) → default for new users, offering stronger performance and smaller payloads, with security on par with RSA-3072.

- New language support → Passbolt speaks Czech 🇨🇿.

## ⛅ [Ain’t No Sunshine](https://youtu.be/6tpGC4lgpMg) (5.4.1)

Shortly after 5.4.0, we shipped 5.4.1 to address several issues reported in the 5.x series.

Why it matters:

- It improves overall stability of encrypted metadata and new resource types.

- It resolves multiple regressions introduced with 5.4.0.

- It’s the recommended upgrade path for all users.

**If you’re not on 5.4.1 yet, update now to ensure you’re running the most stable version of Passbolt 5.x.**

Nice!! Been waiting for icons and resource types.

Any way to convert a current user RSA-3072 to Curve25519/Ed25519?
