Connaisseur v3.9.0 released — now with Notation support!

[phbelitz]

We’re excited to announce the release of Connaisseur v3.9.0! 🎉
This version introduces a major new feature: support for the Notation signature scheme.

With this release, Connaisseur can now verify container images signed using Notation, expanding the range of signing and verification tools it supports. This includes several of Notation’s key capabilities, such as:

• ✅ Verification levels — allowing fine-grained control over signature requirements
• 🕒 Timestamp verification — ensuring signatures are validated with trusted timestamps

For details on how to configure and use Notation with Connaisseur, check out our documentation:

As always, we’d love your feedback and contributions! You can try out the new release on GitHub and let us know what you think.

Happy verifying! 🔐

The Connaisseur readme still says "Notary V2 (Planned)", but I think with this announcement you're saying Connaisseur v3.9.0 removes the "(Planned)" and fully implements it? If so, hurrah, thanks!
