### FIPS 140-3 Images (General Availability)

FIPS 140-3 images are now generally available for all four self-hosted services, published under the `-fips` tag suffix:

* `quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-api:release-260728-fips`
* `quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-engine:release-260728-fips`
* `quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-license-proxy:release-260728-fips`
* `quay.io/deepgram/self-hosted-billing:release-260728-fips`

These images run OpenSSL's FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic provider. Enable FIPS by setting `[fips] mode = "enabled"` in each service's configuration. FIPS mode should be enabled only on the `-fips` images; the standard images do not include the FIPS provider. See [FIPS-Compliant Deployment](/docs/fips-compliant-deployment) for setup and configuration details.

### This Release Contains The Following Changes

* **Formatting Improvements** — added Korean numeral support and fractional number formatting; decimal values now preserve their trailing zeros; and Japanese spacing has been improved.
* **New `.dgv2` Model File Format** — `release-260728` images (both standard and FIPS) support the new `.dgv2` encrypted model file format. FIPS container images can only load `.dgv2` models. Standard (non-FIPS) container images can load both `.dgv2` and `.dg` models.
* **General Improvements** — Keeps our software up-to-date.
