This is a minor update that contains a small number of fixes, one small feature addition, and a number of additional deprecation warnings for at risk features. This version also introduces changes to the supported platforms and to the packaging process.

Deprecations

Deprecations are now handled with a common “Shibboleth.DEPRECATION” logging category for easier identification.

While deprecating a feature does not guarantee it will be removed and not deprecating something does not guarantee its continued support, we have tried to identify the most likely features that are at risk during the redesign process that will occur before a V4 is available.

Platform Support

macOS is now an unofficial platform and the macport of the SP will be maintained only on a voluntary basis.

Support for SUSE is now partial and limited to members only, and we encourage the use of the official packages that are included with it.

Official support and packages will now be provided for Rocky Linux 8 and Amazon Linux 2.

Support for CentOS 8 will officially cease with the approaching end of that platform’s stable existence at the end of 2021. We would suggest moving to Rocky Linux 8 instead if you need a free equivalent.

RPM Packaging

The RPMs are no longer produced online by the OpenSUSE Build Service but using a local, Docker-based process. This is a much faster process for us but it expands and constrains what we can support at the same time. As a result, a number of older platforms for which we have been unofficially producing packages but not supporting for some years will not see further package updates starting with this release. We have no plans to remove those older packages from the mirrors.

Going forward, we will be signing packages using a project member’s key, but since this key may change over time, you may find it necessary to occasionally refresh the repository definition file we provide at https://shibboleth.net/downloads/service-provider/RPMS/
