Hi,

I'm proud to announce the official release of the CAS server 4.0.0.

I know it has been a long time since we started it and many of you were
expecting it strongly. We have worked hard on it and I'd like to thank all
the contributors.

It's a major version with a lot of changes / bug fixes / improvments. You
can find the full list on JIRA:
https://issues.jasig.org/browse/CAS-1448?jql=project%20%3D%20CAS%20AND%20fixVersion%20in%20(4.0%2C%20%224.0%20RC1%22%2C%20%224.0%20RC2%22%2C%20%224.0%20RC3%22%2C%20%224.0%20RC4%22)

I'm certainly forgetting things, but I'd like to highlight:
- the CAS server is lighter: around 23M (instead of 33M) with many optional
modules (SAML, OpenID...)
- the CAS management webapp is a separated web application
- the internals of CAS have been refactored to support multi-factor
authentications
- a front-channel logout is available as an experimental feature
- a new XML endpoint returns user attributes (/p3/serviceValidate,
/p3/proxyValidate)
- security reinforcements have been made (if no service, allowedToProxy
disabled by default...)
...

The protocol spec has been updated accordingly (v3.0) and a new
documentation is available on Github:
http://jasig.github.io/cas/current/index.html (in preference to the "old"
wiki: https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASUM/Home).

Thanks.
Best regards,
Jérôme
