- **New: driver signing**
01dd97 novaflash 2026-04-01 12:44:25 13
The current driver signing uses an EV key that expires April 15. We have a new one so we can do signing manually.
6e3559 novaflash 2026-04-01 12:26:56 14
But we will discuss possible new automation for driver signing. Not a critical topic as we can do it manually, but should not forget.
