## Highlights
* Removal of boringcrypto support - since go1.24.x, you can now simply use the GOFIPS environment variable on the same binary.
* Embedded UI Console is now deprecated and moved to [object-browser](https://github.com/minio/object-browser)
- External IDP logins via LDAP/OIDC are removed as well; these are now available as part of the AiStor Product.
- STS APIs continue to work if someone wishes to build UI in front.
* For all paying customers, we recommend that if you are planning to upgrade, you should upgrade to [AiStor](https://min.io/download?view=aistor-custom).
* Open a [SUBNET](https://subnet.min.io) issue so that we can guide you further on the AiStor migration.
* AiStor binaries are backwards compatible, so you can upgrade your existing open source deployment to AiStor seamlessly.
