 # Changelog
 
-## Upcoming release
+## 23.6.0
+
+As part of our ongoing commitment to deliver the best remote signing solutions, we are announcing a change in our product offerings.
+
+We have decided to deprecate our EthSigner product to focus our efforts on enhancing [Web3Signer](https://github.com/ConsenSys/web3signer), our newly comprehensive remote signing solution. This is rooted in our strategy to streamline our offerings and focus on a single, robust product that will provide functionality for both transaction and Ethereum validator signing. We hope this makes it applicable to all your use-cases like public Ethereum signing, staking infrastructure offerings, and in private network contexts.
+
+Rest assured, we are not dropping existing EthSigner functionality. We are updating Web3Signer to incorporate the functionalities of EthSigner alongside everything else in Web3Signer. We will ensure a smooth transition by maintaining EthSigner with necessary patches for an additional six months. We hope this provides ample time for any necessary migration to Web3Signer.
 
 ### Bugs Fixed
 - Update of Azure libraries (transitive via signers library) and manual override to fix CVE-2023-1370
-
+- Updated various dependent libraries versions
