[Freegis-list] New 52North Web Security 1.2 Releases

[Ann Hitchcock (52north)]

Dear freegis list,

52°North's Security & GeoRights Management Community announces the final releases of the Security API track 1.2.

The Security API track 1.2 - the basis for the WAS, WSS, and WSC.Web 1.2 versions - has finally been released one and a half years after the first release candidate. This 1.2 release "family" consolidates the development work of the past few years. The following features are now included in the applications and API.

The Web Authentication Service - WAS 1.2 http://52north.org/maven/project-sites/security/was/1.2/index.html
* now uses default values for empty or missing configuration parameters,
* is based on the 52N Security API 1.2.0.

The Web Security Service - WSS 1.2 http://52north.org/maven/project-sites/security/wss/1.2/index.html
* now uses default values for empty or missing configuration parameters,
* is based on the 52N Security API 1.2.0.

WSC.Web 1.2 http://52north.org/maven/project-sites/security/wscweb/1.2/index.html
* has undergone major changes to the underlying API,
* is based on the 52N Security API 1.2.0.

The Security API 1.2 http://52north.org/maven/project-sites/security/api/1.2/index.html
* allows configuration files for WAS and WSS to work with default values for selected properties if they are missing,
* provides a new PDP implementation (PermissionCollectionPDP).

The community has decided to freeze development, aside from major bug fixes, in this track and to concentrate on developing the Security API 2.0.
