+## Upgrading
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Clients are always strongly encouraged to upgrade to the [latest][latest-release] version.
+
+The _minimal_ version which is currently supported is [v6.1][minimum-seid2-release]. Any earlier release is expected to stop working after January 7th 2025 due to Posten signering transitioning from SEIDv1 to the SEIDv2 certificate standard in the API. (Note: SEIDv2 used for clients' certificates is not affected, and has been supported for several years already. No action is required for client certificates.)

+
+### Changes v4.6.x ➡️ v6.1.x
+
+
+- change all `Document.FileType` references to `DocumentType`
+- multiple documents in a signature job is now supported, and both [PortalJob.builder(..)](https://javadoc.io/static/no.digipost.signature/signature-api-client-java/6.1.1/no/digipost/signature/client/portal/PortalJob.html#builder(java.lang.String,java.util.List,java.util.List)) and [DirectJob.builder(..)](https://javadoc.io/static/no.digipost.signature/signature-api-client-java/6.1.1/no/digipost/signature/client/direct/DirectJob.html#builder(java.lang.String,java.util.List,java.util.List,no.digipost.signature.client.direct.WithExitUrls)) methods are changed according to this:
+    - the **title of the job** is the first parameter (this was previously set on the document itself)
+    - the second and third parameter are either **lists of documents and signers**, or a single document and a single signer
+    - for direct jobs, **exit-URLs** are provided as the fourth parameter
+    - the optional description for the job (text with more details displayed for the signer) is set on the builder instance: [.withDescription(String)](https://javadoc.io/static/no.digipost.signature/signature-api-client-java/6.1.1/no/digipost/signature/client/direct/DirectJob.Builder.html#withDescription(java.lang.String))
+- availability for portal jobs:
+    - The [PortalJob.Builder.availableFor(..)](https://javadoc.io/static/no.digipost.signature/signature-api-client-java/6.1.1/no/digipost/signature/client/portal/PortalJob.Builder.html#availableFor(java.time.Duration)) now accepts a [Duration][java.time.Duration] instead of separate `long` and `TimeUnit` arguments.
+- response from `DirectClient.create(DirectJob)`
+    - `RedirectUrls` is replaced with [getting a list of DirectSigners](https://javadoc.io/static/no.digipost.signature/signature-api-client-java/6.1.1/no/digipost/signature/client/direct/DirectJobResponse.html#getSigners()) from where the redirect-URL for each signer can be obtained.
+    - In the case of jobs with a single signer, it was previously possible to get the signer's redirect-URL from `DirectJobResponse.getSingleRedirectUrl()`. This is now changed to `DirectJobResponse.getSingleSigner()` and you can [get the redirect URL](https://javadoc.io/static/no.digipost.signature/signature-api-client-java/6.1.1/no/digipost/signature/client/direct/DirectSignerResponse.html#getRedirectUrl()) from the returned single `DirectSigner` instance. The URL is represented as a [URI][java.net.URI] instead of previously being a `String`.
+
+
+### Changes v6.1.x ➡️ v7.x
+
+If you are upgrading from an earlier version to v7.x, see also applicable previous section(s).
+
+- see the [Dependency](#dependency) section for how to properly declare your dependency using the BOM
+- see release notes for [v7.0.1][jakarta-support-release] for more details. Only the [configuration API](https://javadoc.io/static/no.digipost.signature/signature-api-client-java/7.0.4/no/digipost/signature/client/ClientConfiguration.Builder.html) has got some minor breaking changes:
+    - "globalSender" is renamed to [.defaultSender(Sender)](https://javadoc.io/static/no.digipost.signature/signature-api-client-java/7.0.4/no/digipost/signature/client/ClientConfiguration.Builder.html#defaultSender(no.digipost.signature.client.core.Sender))
+    - "serviceUri" and "trustStore" has been combined and replaced with [ServiceEnvironment](https://javadoc.io/static/no.digipost.signature/signature-api-client-java/7.0.4/no/digipost/signature/client/ServiceEnvironment.html). Instead of separately specifying the former two, instead specify either `ServiceEnvironment.STAGING` or `ServiceEnvironment.PRODUCTION` depending on which environment you intend to use.
