- Support for multi-valued attributes
- Introducing the GridShib Security Framework
- Support for RFC3820-compliant proxy certificates
- Updated Globus SAML Library (source code included)
- Java API (gridshib-common-0_2_0.jar) for developers
See the CHANGES file for a complete list of enhancements and bug fixes:
For developers, there is a Java API (with javadoc documentation) and sample code illustrating the use of the Security Framework. GridShib SAML Tools supports both the production and the consumption of X.509-bound SAML assertions.
