 Note that we care most about the secret ***key derivation*** here, as that is the most sensitive part which we want to protect from one central (potentially untrusted, unauthorized, or compromised) party, and hence the **KD** in VETKD. To deal with the centralization point, we need to move into the distributed setting.  Assuming there is no one trusted party, we distribute trust amongst multiple parties, and require that some *threshold* of them collaborate on shares of the master secret key to derive decryption keys.
 
 How do parties **get shares** of the master secret key? This is done by leveraging a distributed key generation (DKG) protocol, where a threshold of honest parties (or nodes) work together to obtain a set of master key shares. Assuming no collusion between nodes, at no point does any one node hold the full private key.

 Crucially, An observation buried in [BF01] gives us the answer. Moni Naor noted that an IBE scheme can be directly converted into a signature scheme. Considering the key derivation of Boneh-Franklin IBE specifically, the resulting signature scheme happens to be BLS.
 
 ### BLS signatures
-Digital signatures are used everywhere in cryptography and in the blockchain world to attest to the authenticity of a message, transaction, or other pieces of information.

+![December 4 2024](../../static/img/blog/dev-update-blog-dec-4.jpg)
+
+Hello developers, and welcome to this week's developer weekly update! This week we have a new release of `dfx`, an important update about the Bitcoin integration, and an update from the community project Juno. Let's get started!
+
+## dfx v0.24.3
+
+The latest version of `dfx` is now promoted! This latest update includes new features such as:
+
+- PocketIC now supports Bitcoin through the `--enable-bitcoin` and `--bitcoin-node` flags.
+
+- The canisters for the ICP, ckBTC, and ckETH ledger canisters can now be pulled.
+
+- The frontend canister now supports setting canister permissions in the init arguments.
+
+- Output for `dfx start` and `dfx cycles` have been improved. 
+
+[Read the full release notes](https://github.com/dfinity/sdk/releases/tag/0.24.3).
+
+## Bitcoin integration updates
+
+The Bitcoin Testnet API is being migrated from Testnet v3 to Testnet v4. To support this work, the ckTestBTC minter has been stopped and the Bitcoin Testnet API has been disabled. Once the migration has finished, these features will be re-enabled.
+
+You can stay up to date on the status via the [forum](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/direct-integration-with-bitcoin/6147/743?u=cryptoschindler).
+
+## Juno v0.0.39
+
+A new version of Juno has been released! This latest version introduces backups to Juno through the new ICP canister snapshot feature. Backups are available through both the Juno API and the Juno CLI tool.
+
+[Learn more in the Juno release notes](https://github.com/junobuild/juno/releases/tag/v0.0.39).

 The locks would usually be released in the callback. That bears the risk that the lock may never be released in case the callback traps, as we discussed in [securely handle traps in callbacks](#securely-handle-traps-in-callbacks). The code examples below shows how one can securely implement a lock per caller.
 - In Rust, one can use the drop pattern where each caller lock (`CallerGuard` struct) implementats the `Drop` trait to release the lock. From Rust CDK version `0.5.1`, any local variables still go out of scope if the callback traps, so the lock on the caller is released even in that case. Technically, the CDK calls into the `ic0.call_on_cleanup` API to release these resources. Recall that `ic0.call_on_cleanup` is executed if the `reply` or the `reject` callback executed and trapped.
-- In Motoko, one can use the [`try`/`finally`](docs/current/motoko/main/reference/language-manual/#try) control flow construct. This construct guarantees that the lock is released in the `finally` block regardless of any errors or traps in the `try` or `catch` blocks.
