CAS Roadmap

 

The CAS Roadmap provides a common understanding regarding the what, why, and how of future CAS releases. Adopters use the roadmap to understand when a new version may be released, the changes they can expect, and based on the type of release, the difficulty or ease with which to upgrade. CAS developers use the roadmap to communicate with each other and the community the types of features, bug fixes, and improvements they are individually committed to working on.

...

3.5.x releases are conservative incremental changes for backward compatible bug fixes, enhancements and new features. CAS 3.5.0 was release released in July 2012.  Deployers can expected on-going patch releases to the 3.5.x series.

Scope

CAS committers who attended the Jasig-Sakai 2012 conference in Atlanta arrived at rough consensus around a 4.0 release candidate with the following scope:

  • improved authN APIs to support multiple credentials (forces Major release per release strategy)
  • new skin and better support for mobile devices
  • Improvements to the Ldap Password Policy enforcement that are described here.
  • potentially other minor evolutionary improvements that would have been targeted for 3.6.

Developer: Unlicensed userMarvin Addison

The present AuthenticationHandler/AuthenticationManager API components have served us well for approximately a decade.  With a relatively small amount of engineering effort, we can build on these components to achieve some notable features in an elegant fashion:
