-- topdown: Add support for EdDSA in `io.jwt` built-ins ([#<PR>](<PR link>)) authored by @johanfylling reported by @aromeyer
+This release contains a mix of new features, performance improvements, and bugfixes. Notably:
+
+- Support for EdDSA signatures in `io.jwt` built-ins, including a new `io.jwt.verify_eddsa` built-in.
+
+### EdDSA Support in built-ins ([#7824](https://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/pull/7824))
+
+Support for the EdDSA signing algorithm has been added to built-in functions in the `io.jwt` namespace.
+
+This introduces the new [io.jwt.verify_eddsa](https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/policy-reference/builtins/tokens#builtin-tokens-iojwtverify_eddsa) built-in function, and adds EdDSA support for the following built-ins:
+
+- [io.jwt.decode_verify](https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/policy-reference/builtins/tokens#builtin-tokens-iojwtdecode_verify)
+- [io.jwt.encode_sign](https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/policy-reference/builtins/tokensign#builtin-tokensign-iojwtencode_sign)
+- [io.jwt.encode_sign_raw](https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/policy-reference/builtins/tokensign#builtin-tokensign-iojwtencode_sign_raw)
+
+This feature benefited greatly from the groundwork laid by @lestrrat in ([#7638](https://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/issues/7638)). 👏 🎉 🥳
