+# Middleware 1.2.25353.87593
+
+In this version of the Middleware, we've focused on significant performance improvements for receipt copy handling in the clouCloudCashboxdcashbox in France,
+added support for NF525-compliant signatures, and resolved a stability issue affecting both the Austrian and French markets.
+

+
+## ☁️🇫🇷 Improvement: Significantly faster receipt copy handling in the CloudCashbox
+
+We've completely replaced the previous receipt copy mechanism with a new, more performant implementation.
+The previous approach could cause response times exceeding 25 seconds in CloudCashboxes with a large number of receipts.
+The new mechanism resolves this issue, resulting in improved copy receipt performance.
+
+:::info
+
+This was previously released for local queues and has now been rolled out to the CloudCashbox aswell.

+
+## 🇫🇷 Improvement: New signature item for NF525 compliance
+
+A new signature item is now included in responses to support NF525-required normative signature excerpt.
+This ensures compliance with French Infocert certification requirements.
+POS Systems that are not certified by Infocert are not required to print it on receipts.
+The new signature item can be identified by its `SignatureType` ending with `0x0008`.

+## 🇦🇹🇫🇷 Bug Fix: Incorrect internal ftState returned in some responses
+
+In certain scenarios, the Middleware could return a response with the internal ftState `0xEEEE_EEEE` instead of the expected empty result.
+This has been resolved, and the Middleware now correctly returns the appropriate response in all cases.
