Support for WC3 VC Data Model 2.0 - JOSE-COSE

[tsnyder-gs1us]

Does Veramo have a roadmap for when WC3 Verifiable Credentials Data Model v2.0 will be supported? I looking into how to issue and verify JOSE-COSE credentials - https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-jose-cose/. Does anyone have examples of trying to issue JOSE-COSE based envelope credentials?

This relates to #1132

There was a team that was volunteering to implement support for VC2.0 but so far there hasn't been any progress report.
If you would like to start adding this support, please say so.

In the upcoming major version of Veramo we're refactoring the way credential plugins work, so that new credential formats can be used without requiring changes to Veramo core. This will allow independent VC2.0 plugin implementations as well.

when veramo 7.0 or next version will released?

Pretty soon. There are some breaking changes to the credential plugin model and I'm reviewing the API for it still. Also trying to simplify the createAgent method to infer plugin types. It's still unclear to me if it has to be a breaking change and I'd like to add it to v7 if it is.

This project is voluntarily maintained so I can't provide any time commitments. As always, you can use the @next distTag when installing Veramo packages to make use of the latest developments.
