This Werk changes the format of transaction IDs and the way they are generated.

Before this Werk transaction IDs used the format <unix timestamp>/<number>. The new format is <unix timestamp>/<string>, where the string component can contain any URL-safe character.

Transaction IDs are now generated using a cryptographically secure random number generator.

This security Werk does not address any exploitable vulnerability. To aid automated scanning we assign a CVSS score of 0.0 (None) (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:N).
