[Unity-idm-discuss] Release 1.8.0 is available

[Krzysztof B. <go...@ic...>]

Dear All,

First of all I would like to wish you all the best for the 2016. May the 
force be with you!

As a present for the 2016 a new version 1.8.0 of Unity was published. It 
ships several notable new features, making Unity more universal and 
flexible.

The highlights of this release:
  - Registration forms has a completely redesigned automation feature, 
based on translation profile (similar to the input and output profiles 
used for authentication and IdPs). With the new model it is possible to 
perform a great amount of advanced request processing: all elements can 
be  filtered, new elements can be added, it can be precisely controlled 
when to perform redirects, finally requests can be not only 
automatically accepted but also dropped or denied.
  - Group attribute statements were fully redesigned into a much more 
flexible model. In effect it is possible not only to copy attributes 
between groups but also to modify them on the fly or to use 
non-attribute data (as identities) as values.
  - It is possible now to embed any of Unity web interfaces within a 
customized HTML, so it is possible to insert a custom header or footer.

There are also other, smaller features included as OAuth client 
credentials grant support, better DoS protection mechanisms
async loading of identities table (crucial with high number of entities).

Make sure to read the upgrade instructions before upgrading!


Big thanks to everybody involved in this release!
