Will this be released soon?

@Fraraven no, because there’s no need for it. Just update your lockfile.

@ljharb - The latest version (6.6.1) of the elliptic package is still marked as vulnerable by Snyk and an example has been provided by a community member that shows it is still vulnerable. Based on the discussion in the issue threads (#321 and #323) in the elliptic project, there doesn't seem to be much hope this will be fixed any time soon. Is it possible to replace browserify-sign's dependency on elliptic with a secure alternative such as noble-curves by paulmillr?

Unfortunately not, because noble-curves doesn't support the node versions we do, so it'd be a breaking change.
