We are excited to announce that the brand new release of [Wren:IG 5.0.0](https://github.com/WrenSecurity/wrenig/releases/5.0.0)
is finally out! This is the first release of Wren:IG that is fully independent of the legacy
infrastructure. Its technological stack has been updated to be compatible with JDK 21, and all
changes have been carefully curated to provide a high level of security while still offering
a reliable migration path from legacy OpenIG installations.

If you are already running Wren:IG or an unsupported version of OpenIG, we strongly recommend
that you upgrade, as only the new versions will receive the support they deserve.

## Changes

List of significant changes:

* Add Java 21 support and drop Java 8 support
* Change Maven `groupId` to `org.wrensecurity.wrenig`
* Upgrade to the newest `wrensec-parent` and `wrensec-commons`
* Upgrade UI components
* Switch to GitHub Actions for CI, create new project for system testing
* Add docker build with amd64 and arm64 support and Docker Hub publishing pipeline
