About this release¶

WSO2 Identity Server 5.11.0 is the latest WSO2 Identity Server (WSO2 IS) release and is the successor of WSO2 Identity Server 5.10.0.

What's new in this release¶

WSO2 IS 5.11.0 contains the following new features and enhancements:

Enhanced My Account application (known as "User Portal" in 5.10.0) for users to manage their account-related preferences. For more information, see My Account.
Switched to symmetric key encryption as the default encryption method for data protection. For more information, see Symmetric Key Encryption Overview.
Separated 'user groups' and 'roles', and introduced new role management APIs. For more information, see SCIM 2.0 REST APIs.
Introduced CORS management APIs. For more information, see CORS management APIs.
Upgraded to OpenSAML 3
Introduced Software Development Kits (SDKs) for Java, .Net, and Android for simple and quick integration with simple configurations. For more information, see Using SDKs.
Integrated with HashiCorp Vault to protect and govern secrets such as database passwords, key store passwords etc.
Improvements to CIAM (Customer Identity and Access Management) functionality:
- Trigger email validation upon email address change
- Trigger SMS-based verification upon mobile number change
- Enforcing uniqueness and regex validation for challenge question answers to avoid risks due to weaker answers
- Auto log in the user upon successful password recovery
- Revoke session-bounded tokens upon logout and session expiry events

React-based console application with developer and administrator views to manage and maintain the features offered by WSO2 Identity Server. This is an ongoing effort to improve the user experience with the product.
Tenant-qualified URLs with the option of switching to tenant qualified endpoints, which consistently qualifies every URL/endpoint of WSO2 Identity Server with the tenant in a path parameter. This improves flexibility for tenant-wise sharding and branding compared to previous releases.
Managing CORS configurations tenant-wise is possible with this release as the CORS configurations can now be made at application level and enforced at tenant level.

Refer below for the improvements and bug fixes available with this release.
