Dear CAS Community,

We're pleased to announce the final release of 3.0.5.  This release includes many bug fixes, improvements and new features.  Though there are minor changes between 3.0.4 and 3.0.5 due to upgrades to Spring Webflow, all deployers are encouraged to upgrade.  Deployers who have client applications that use Acegi are especially encouraged to upgrade, as CAs 3.0.5 can properly handle jsession ids.

Some of the changes in this release:

New Features:

• JAAS Authentication Handler
• Remote User Support
• Ability to accept arbitrary credentials for PGT callback
• Inclusion of jars for adaptors

Improvements:

• LDAP Authentication Handlers now use LdapTemplate project
• Expose Additional ticket state information to Ticket Expiration Policies
• Italian, Swedish, and Urdu internationalization
• Argument checking Assertions now provide more information
• Utilize HttpClient to allow for connection pooling
• Additional hooks in AbstractNonInteractiveCredentailsAction for postAction and error handlinig
• Spring 2.0 and Spring Webflow upgrades

Bug Fixes:

The complete set of release notes is available in JIRA.
