Hi @samuel-lucas6 ! Yes, I plan on getting that work started shortly. I'm currently wrapping up some SCP11 things as well as some refactorings.

(remark: the 25519 keys were intended to be supported with the June release, but we didn't have enough time, and SCP11 prio was higher, so that's why you've been waiting.

We aim for a release in mid december or sooner.

Just circling back here to let you know that it will be pushed for an early Q1 release.
Thanks for your patience @samuel-lucas6 !

Here's an update. We committing to releasing this in mid April @samuel-lucas6.

Closed as the latest release includes support for Curve25519 within PIV.
Note that in order to use the new types efficiently, users should use the new types Curve25519PublicKey and Curve25519PublicKey within the PIV session
